Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. (Martin Luther King Jr.)
