"I’m concerned about a better World. I’m concerned about justice; I’m concerned about brotherhood and sisterhood; I’m concerned about truth.
"And when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. For through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can’t murder murder. Through violence you may murder a liar, but you can’t establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can’t murder hate through violence.
"Darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.
"And I say to you, I have also decided to stick with love, for I know that love is ultimately the only answer to humankind’s problems. And I’m going to talk about it everywhere I go. I know it isn’t popular to talk about it in some circles today. And I’m not talking about emotional bosh when I talk about love; I’m talking about a strong, demanding love. For I have seen too much hate. [...] and I say to myself that hate is too great a burden to bear. I have decided to love.
"If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love. And the beautiful thing is that we aren’t moving wrong when we do it, because John was right, God is love. He who hates does not know God, but he who loves has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.
"And so I say to you today, my friends, that you may be able to speak with the tongues of men and angels; you may have the eloquence of articulate speech; but if you have not love, it means nothing.. "

Only love & responsibility Will fix this problem.
Will someone please forward this to Ms Malik?
Well, your "culture" sure didn't listen.
1:07 I'll assume "culture" refers to all black Americans. I'm also going to assume that you don't get out much. Why oh why would black people on the shore be weary of whites when people like 1:07 think the way they do. Do you realize that your prejudices are the problem. Cling tightly to your Trumpy bear.
Trumpy bear - really! I am prejudice. Not with just blacks but with people who abuse our generous system. You use the race card. People who hate someone for no apparent reason, like those who say Trumpy Bear. Now who is racist!!!
ill take my trumpy bear and you take your ebt card.
If he was so concerned with truth he wouldn't have plagiarized a huge portion of his academic work including his doctoral thesis and "his" famous I have a dream speech or cheated on his wife numerous times with young women. He was a man, no more no less lifted to sainthood by white liberals seeking to quell their quilt and blacks turning a blind eye on morality to assert there equality. I am a man and I too have sinned so I must forgive but hiding the truth will not lead to salvation this I know.
None of you haters will have to put up with it after 12AM because MLK day will officially be over.
Make America great again!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😂
