I actually have a genius-level IQ, but you go ahead fakkit. Notice you can't refute anything I said bc your little pea-brain can't come up with deeper thought. Let me educate you though. Those people who marched for civil rights, while exceedingly brave and valorous, existed in a fukking whole-ass COUNTRY. You understand that? THEY themselves had no choice but to be peaceful bc otherwise, they would have lost any direct confrontation with the forces they were up against. Black people alone cannot win an outright war against the fukkin United States you moron, and real christians don't fight in wars bc Jesus specifically spoke against violence. While I am obviously for what civil rights leaders did, and applaud what they did, it doesn't change the fact that they were only pieces of a whole (The U.S.), not the ones who create or ensure the survival of the whole. That would be the government, the military, etc, people who will actually get dirty and straight KILL whoever tries to take what is there's. This is fundamentally against christian teaching btw, which means REAL christians aren't running shyt. The existence of the government means that people like MLK can go out and protest while still enjoying relative safety from other countries without becoming violent themselves. MLK's tactic was to be peaceful, to HOPE that the government would give in eventually. It worked bc black people were citizens of the U.S. in a modern era where human rights were starting to be taken more seriously. What happens when you're peaceful against an enemy that doesn't have any reason to give in? You learn to fight or you get destroyed.
This doesn't mean MLK was a coward or that we should spit on his legacy. It DOES mean that, if there were a whole NATION using MLK's peaceful tactics, men who refused to do violence EVER, which is what christianity teaches, then that nation would quickly become bullied by others. This is why every country has a military with guns and tanks and shyt, regardless of their religious beliefs. It's because world leaders know that christian bullshyt doesn't play in the real world. You can even break that down to a single household. A man that is not looked at as a man will become food for those who are willing to test him. Have a reputation of being a p*ssy in a neighborhood with wolves and see if they won't run up in your shyt. Turn the other cheek only works when there are violent men somewhere to protect the pacifist. And before you try to come back with 'oh he's dissing MLK,' I wasn't, he is one of the greatest black heroes to ever live, arguably the greatest. But you tried to use MLK to argue something different than what I originally said because you're too stupid to comprehend what you read. Now get the fukk out my alerts with your dumbass. Oh, and btw, what you did is a fallacy called an 'Appeal from Authority.' Look it up and actually learn something for once in your life.
