+Falicia Flatz I'm actually a college instructor and I can tell you that while I agree that not al can be painted with a broad brush, it is relatively rare these days and I will admit, the same was true even at that time.
I agree but then it behooves us to mention that Dr. King was not the norm nor did he represent the majority. It's why he was so brilliant but that does not diminish the fact that there are still young adults who speak as he did and who have dreams like the one he had.
Recently people are taking his quote “Rioting is the language of the unheard” out of context he never supported violence in protests. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. must be disappointed in us. We never listened to his words after death. Did we not take him seriously?
He also said that as strongly as he condemned riots he equally condemned the conditions that led to them! It is ignorant to believe that they started just because somebody wanted a free TV. The media will use the riots as an excuse to avoid talking about the underlying issues that led to them.
@@MrJkusmc23 Everyone supported the Protesters before they committed acts of violence, even Donald Trump, and the Governor, if you do not believe me, google it. The entire state of MN, as I know you and I both are from MN, hopefully, as most rioters are actually from other states, and the world for that matter supported George, and demanded justice. But then the rioters fucked it all up, and committed acts of violence, against even innocent people -- not just people of the government, but also business people, small businesses, and even innocent civilians. I'm certain you heard of the man stoned nearly to death in Dallas just for trying to protect himself and the store, and then the national guard getting defeated by the riots, because they weren't armed with ammunition from what I hear. Most media, at least ones of the DNC, supports the riots -- elitists support the riots. Government control people, support the riots. I sympathize with you, and love you as a human, but I disagree your acts, you should've stayed peaceful (if you are a rioter), as scorching half the metropolis only harms your cause, as MLK said. But, as MLK also said, you can bomb our homes and threaten our children, and as difficult as it is, we will still love you.
@@vinnyvin4287 Thanks for sharing your views. I don't support the riots, but I understand why they are happening. I don't wish harm on anyone, but until the underlying issues are addressed and reforms are made the unrest will last.
I agree with you. I was a little girl I watched Dr. King's " I have a dream"speech with my mother. I was old enough to realize that Dr. King was a great man.
I don't think you understand the point of nonviolence. The idea is to rally in places such as Birmingham and get racist white people to engage in violent actions and expose their hatred to the world. That is why they would practice methods to resist attacks and protect vital parts of the body before going to rallies. Your analogy about the woman getting raped is not accurate at all.
Succinctly said, I wouldn't say his intellect is unparalleled as this undermines a myriad of brilliant orators, thinkers and writers from the West. But he rightfully takes his place as one of the greatest people of all time.
Ishieka Morris none violence per Hindu philosophy as we see today with the Dali Lama none violence awakens the God the humanity in the oppressors i.e. others in the very society of the oppressors white folks would be awaken
Why must our leaders weaken to pressure for violence, how can we call ourselves spiritual today if we kill and torture to eat? Thank you Dr. King, RIP, remember seeing you in August 1963 vividly as a young girl on the Mall with my grandmother and mother and sisters and baby brother. We rode 10 hours from Concord, MA by bus for the March on Washington. It changed the world. Why must our generation prove ignorant to King's, Gandhi's and Marley's legacies? Peace and love. One love!
it's interesting listening to this today, how stagnant our country has become, since this mans death. because there has been no one to stand up and take his place as a leader in the same philosophy he had in non violent activism. which he proved to be effective in accomplishing the goal by getting the point across intellectually and spiritually. the only way to impact someone is not just by making someone think with their brain but to reason within their hearts what is good and what is evil. this is ultimately forcing people to reason within themselves so that they can find the ultimate truth for themselves and thus peace and love makes an impact on the world.
"Organized nonviolent resistance is the most powerful weapon that oppressed people can use in breaking aloose from the bondages of oppression...Nonviolent resistance does resist. It is dynamically active. It is passive physically, but it is strongly active spiritually...[Turning the other cheek] is a method of the strong man, not the weak one." Most inspiring.
Powerful speaker. Way before his time. I do believe he would be happy and surprise how far we have come. He would be disappointed that his own people still haven't learn to be there for one another and that we still have prejudice towards our own.
+Greeneyezsmoove Shaw He would also be disappointed to hear terms like "his own people" still being used to stereotype any group of people, be it those who agree with him or those of a similar tone of skin.
. . . AND MAY I SAY ( THAT YOUR CHILDREN ( CURRENT/DATE: TUES 30 OCT 2018 ) ARE DOING WELL ) AND THEY ARE LIVING THEIR LIVES ( RESPECTIVELY - BASED ON THE UP/BRINGINGS TAUGHT TO THEM ) AMEN DR KING & AMEN AGAIN . . .
Absolutely insane how people take his words and his message out of context completely... this is the sort of thing that should be tought in schools if there is any remore interest in the betterment of humanity
Amazing as this may sound, but I think the greatness of Martin Luther King is still vastly underrated....... No other man has moved me so and the depth of his compassion and intellect is arguably without equal. He strikes me as the embodiment of human good free from moral relativism. Though I too have been guilty of apathy towards his life and legacy I now commit to learning all I can from MLK.
I am coming back to him as an adult with much more appreciation and respect than I had as a teenager. I read some of his works in high school. I even wrote a piece in my journal the day after he died. I am now teaching his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" and his non-violent protest. His writings now move me to tears they are so eloquent and well-reasoned, and his use of anaphora is unparalleled (to create emotion in his audience).
"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love." -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, Stockholm, Sweden, December 11, 1964)
Nonviolence is an extremely powerful way to win, he is right. Nonviolence automatically treats the enemy as a human, which is very hard for the enemy to ignore. The soul listens to that language. Also, it forces the enemy to recognize that if they use force. Then the protestors are indeed weak. Which means everything they are protesting for is indeed correct. With time, they will withdraw there attacks and ask the protesters to forgive them. Which means, they finally listened and recognized there flaw. The hard part is organizing and planning this. Everyone has to understand what they are protesting for.
Jerry Esque,right now the violent rioters and looters are justifying even more law enforcement and maybe martial law.It's just the opposite of libertarianism or even anarchism.The violence gives a green light to strip away even more liberties and rights in the name of "safety and security".
He does denounce violence, yet he also says “Love without power is sentimental and anemic.” So those of us complaining about the somewhat violent riots today, after assessing if we have love for the oppressed, should consider empowering those oppressed rather than bringing them down.
Dr Martin Luther King Jr was a Highly Intelligent and Intellectual individual! Dr Martin Luther King Jr was an American Legend! 🌟🇺🇸🗽 😎👍 R. I. P GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🦅🇺🇸🗽
Martin Luther King Jr. is by far my greatest inspiration in life but I would argue that in some (extreme cases) a limited amount of violence is necessary to prevent more worse violence overall in certain circumstances (a case in which pacifism would allow more violence to occur overall and hence choosing peace would really be allowing more violence to occur which IMO is like causing it) therefore in my opinion some actions such as violence against terrorists (ie: troops in Afghanistan) is just.
I have watched this numerous times now and his words still affect me deeply. This moment in time is especially important to remember that nonviolence is truly the most powerful weapon.
+Benjamin Norton What i'm saying that the lack of fear of retalliation is what keeps getting us killed. If i knew that hurting you could cause my life or my loved one's lives to be in danger, you betcha sweet ass that you gon think 2 or 3 times b4 you try and lay a finger on me. Trust me on that one. If these police officers knew that one of our lives equaled 1 or more of theirs believe me things would change over night.
bilal0072003 Say you are hunting a bear. You know full well that bear could fuck you up, but you go hunting them anyway because that's what you do. The same applies to racists. They are not going to bend to heavy handed opposition. Common ground must be intrinsic in conflict resolution and prevention.
+Benjamin Norton Only problem with that analogy is that a bear can't pick up a gun and shoot back. If a bear could hunt you with the same tools then the outcome could be drastically different. Racists and bullies will bend quicker if they got sumpin to lose. I remember punching a bully in the face when I was a kid. He stopped messing with me and we actually were friends.
+Donyeal Griffin Well well. lol. I still disagree because you can't tell somebody who fighting for they lives to be non violent. That should be taught to the oppressor. Not the oppressed.
+Donyeal Griffin I could agree with King if it woulda actually helped us. But all it did was lay the ground work for us to become even more marginalized and lose all we had worked for. But my respect he does get because he at least spoke up
So much of what he said still rings true today, especially about the parties in congress playing political football on civil rights issues which are actually moral, not political at all.
Rev. Dr. King let's us know of the 3 ways to handle oppression: 1. violence; 2. non-violence, 3. resignation and acquience. He shows without a doubt how organized non violent resisistence is the most powerful weapon . LISTEN TO HIM - POWERFULLY SHOWING HOW NON VIOLENCE IS THE METHOD OF A STRONG MAN, NOT A WEAK. POWERFUL PRESENTATION AS HE IS INTERVIEWED!!!!! A MUST LISTEN TO VIDEO!!!!! PASS IT ON PLEASE.
There's no happiness in any tune we play. One grow up seeking dreams was formed up in their head, from thoughts one gather by images being displayed as the mind travel through places full of outer appearance, one believe is the show. Who was never told the inner appearance run the show. All tune's have some kind of blues to it, just like the tune's we know will end our hope, but the craziest thing one began to see, is those who out promoting the outer appearance they know will never be. It's hard to trust when you don't know what one might form up to be. From a society know exactly what they see, but still push one into it like it's something they can see. Tells me we all are doomed from those who got conditioned to the things they see. Make it hard for the consciousness to move around in peace and free because they know who designing the laws to be. Program America have no shame to their game, pushing the country into a cycle where poison minds had always been in our name.
...my logic is that to be truly pro-peace and anti-violence you need to do what it takes to minimize violence and hence maximize peace even if that means a degree of constructive violence along the way. Though it is an ugly thought, if terrorists were let roam free across the middle east and there was no military response thing's would fall in to sheer anarchy beyond moral comprehension.
Non violent resistance is the best answer. I have more admiration for Jews and others during WW2 who resisted using nonviolence as well as those resisting today in Tibet peacefully. Admiration is what I give to those who resisted in Eastern Europe, Jim Crowe South and Apartheid South Africa who resisted peacefully. We never win if we resort to being as vile as the enemy. Love drives out hate. That is what Jesus Christ my Savior taught and many (Henry David Thearou, Gandhi and MLK) followed. We must love each other
steve smith But the Jews were not merely being oppressed they were being exterminated, and the only reason they were not completely exterminated was because of violent resistance from Britain, Russia, U.S. etc. There is a difference between non-retaliation and non-self defense.
The interviewer seems to insist the Gandhi advocated violence, yet his life was a living example of non-violence. He also pushed Dr. King saying that no other time has seen such violence as that time in the 1960s, which is certainly untrue ... look at the Civil War, WWI and World War II. There are countless examples of wars and conflicts going back thousands of years. Martin Luther King understood deeply the futility of war, aggression and violence.
History has shown that non-violence has succeeded only in certain situations where there were highly charismatic leaders leading such movements.I follow a spirituality called Nichiren Buddhism which claims that it can bring out the Gandhis and Kings from within each of us with its practice.
Did you even read the rest of Gandhi's letter? "But your own writings and pronouncements and those of your friends and admirers leave no room for doubt that many of your acts are monstrous and unbecoming of human dignity, especially in the estimation of men like me who believe in universal friendliness. Such are your humiliation of Czechoslovakia, the rape of Poland and the swallowing of Denmark".
Martin Luther King Jr would have been against Black Lives Matter as much as he was against Malcolm X. Either a lot of Black Lives Matter people didn't take the time to learn history or they hate what Martin Luther King Jr stood for. One thing is sure, if BLM continue the way they are, then there is a risk of future segregation which I fear is what the BLM group really wants.
That is a very crude and judgmental statement. Being forced into suppression by military style police and watching family members get killed for standing up and then they have to be subjected to ignorant and arrogant comments like this? You should be ashamed of yourself.
All of creation has equal rights on this planet. It was the White man that got greedy and took from other races, including this country so if anyone should leave, it should be the Europeans that thought they had a right to own shit that does not belong to ANY HUMAN!
The BLM leaders do not promote violence. Just because someone is violent and stating Black Lives Matter does not mean they are being taught or trained to be violent. I have a feeling that not all MLK followers remained peaceful but that should not reflect on the Mnemosyne itself. BLM is not about violence but the media is portraying them as though they are as a reason to justify police violence against them.
. . . TELL IT - DR KING ( WE MISS YOU & ALL THAT YOU STOOD FOR ) TO GOD BE THE GLORY ( FOR THE THINGS ) HE HAS DONE ( CURRENT/DATE: TUES 30 OCT 2018 ) AMEN & AMEN AGAIN . . .
Our brother Martin, has such a deep heart of love and respect for his fellow man, that "The Man" had to kill him, as history shows that his heart was "affecting" too many people to protest, without violence. What do the violent do when confronted with love, they kill LOVE., just as Jesus Christ was crucified for his love of all mankind.
This is how you achieve equivalencies. Equivalence is peace, and violence can not bring equivalence and peace. Perhaps the BLM movements is seeking for vengeance, instead of peace. Protesting with violence will gain hostility; protesting with peace will gain sympathy.
I'm in the midst of a peaceful protest in the neighborhood of a state I moved to completely unaware of the bizarre tense southern influence and the black oppression prior to coming here. Weirdly enough its not the south I moved to, but to the west. Oregon. I could tell you alot of things but I'd rather not. (unless you're interested). I've already witnessed and experienced such insensitivities that I wouldn't want anyone reading to be stirred... Think your a strong black person? I did. But in a place like Oregon, it is not recognized and it will test what you think you know about yourself to every degree of your bones. Luckily I'm moving back to my home state in two months. I will say this.. They are very happy that I will be leaving and have become very honest about it and my "Northern intrusion" this week now that its close to my move.
Anarchists. Their philosophy is that there should be no control over human behaviors or societies, and that chaos is the natural order. They believe in a state of disorder due to the absence of any authority whatsoever. (Dr. King was quite articulate, but he sometimes showed small features of a Southern dialect in his speech. He was from Georgia, and they can have a very thick accent.) :)
a good message for these crazy times stay strong.
Its important that this interview was done when Dr. King was 28 years old. What 28 year olds today speak with this kind of analysis and articulation.
Plenty of us young adults speak with eloquent articulation. Perhaps you are looking in the wrong environments or simply seeing what you wish to.

It's hard to trust when you don't know what one might form up to be. From a society know exactly what they see, but still push one into it like it's something they can see. Tells me we all are doomed from those who got conditioned to the things they see. Make it hard for the consciousness to move around in peace and free because they know who designing the laws to be. Program America have no shame to their game, pushing the country into a cycle where poison minds had always been in our name.
Nonviolence or non existence. Powerful stuff.
Issues we still fight with we shouldn’t.
Love conquers all.
thx m8. now i can use this for a lofi beat
...my logic is that to be truly pro-peace and anti-violence you need to do what it takes to minimize violence and hence maximize peace even if that means a degree of constructive violence along the way. Though it is an ugly thought, if terrorists were let roam free across the middle east and there was no military response thing's would fall in to sheer anarchy beyond moral comprehension.
What an amazing thinker
Non violent resistance is the best answer. I have more admiration for Jews and others during WW2 who resisted using nonviolence as well as those resisting today in Tibet peacefully. Admiration is what I give to those who resisted in Eastern Europe, Jim Crowe South and Apartheid South Africa who resisted peacefully. We never win if we resort to being as vile as the enemy. Love drives out hate. That is what Jesus Christ my Savior taught and many (Henry David Thearou, Gandhi and MLK) followed. We must love each other
steve smith But the Jews were not merely being oppressed they were being exterminated, and the only reason they were not completely exterminated was because of violent resistance from Britain, Russia, U.S. etc.
There is a difference between non-retaliation and non-self defense.
What about the others and no, violence did nothing
Why did you leave out the others?
Russia turned around to try to murder all of them like Hitler
The others like the Tibetans are being not oppressed but exterminated
Amen
The interviewer seems to insist the Gandhi advocated violence, yet his life was a living example of non-violence. He also pushed Dr. King saying that no other time has seen such violence as that time in the 1960s, which is certainly untrue ... look at the Civil War, WWI and World War II. There are countless examples of wars and conflicts going back thousands of years. Martin Luther King understood deeply the futility of war, aggression and violence.
History has shown that non-violence has succeeded only in certain situations where there were highly charismatic leaders leading such movements.I follow a spirituality called Nichiren Buddhism which claims that it can bring out the Gandhis and Kings from within each of us with its practice.
Did you even read the rest of Gandhi's letter? "But your own writings and pronouncements and those of your friends and admirers leave no room for doubt that many of your acts are monstrous and unbecoming of human dignity, especially in the estimation of men like me who believe in universal friendliness. Such are your humiliation of Czechoslovakia, the rape of Poland and the swallowing of Denmark".
Intelligence, education and I would add boundless compassion and empathy.
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. HAS THE MIND OF JESUS CHRIST...A RENEWED MIND HAS THE HOLY BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT.
Amen
Very interesting point. There was something about his soul...
.
He was a tool for the white man. There's nothing holy about king
how many know about the 1999 court hearing in Tennessee wich the us government was found guilty of assassinating mlk
+DAVE FERNANDEZ I do...
What’s the case name?
Tell me your experiences of 'non-violence winning over violent people' in reply.
Black Lives Matter would do well to learn from this message from this great man.
Then go back to Africa. If they'll have you .
Martin Luther King Jr would have been against Black Lives Matter as much as he was against Malcolm X. Either a lot of Black Lives Matter people didn't take the time to learn history or they hate what Martin Luther King Jr stood for.
One thing is sure, if BLM continue the way they are, then there is a risk of future segregation which I fear is what the BLM group really wants.
That is a very crude and judgmental statement. Being forced into suppression by military style police and watching family members get killed for standing up and then they have to be subjected to ignorant and arrogant comments like this? You should be ashamed of yourself.
All of creation has equal rights on this planet. It was the White man that got greedy and took from other races, including this country so if anyone should leave, it should be the Europeans that thought they had a right to own shit that does not belong to ANY HUMAN!
The BLM leaders do not promote violence. Just because someone is violent and stating Black Lives Matter does not mean they are being taught or trained to be violent. I have a feeling that not all MLK followers remained peaceful but that should not reflect on the Mnemosyne itself. BLM is not about violence but the media is portraying them as though they are as a reason to justify police violence against them.
The boss great but that why him never live too long💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👂
Exactly. It creates more issues
. . . TELL IT - DR KING ( WE MISS YOU & ALL THAT YOU STOOD FOR ) TO GOD BE THE GLORY ( FOR THE THINGS ) HE HAS DONE ( CURRENT/DATE: TUES 30 OCT 2018 ) AMEN & AMEN AGAIN . . .
In my opinion Non-violence should be maintained on the physical level, verbal and mental
Our brother Martin, has such a deep heart of love and respect for his fellow man, that "The Man" had to kill him, as history shows that his heart was "affecting" too many people to protest, without violence. What do the violent do when confronted with love, they kill LOVE., just as Jesus Christ was crucified for his love of all mankind.
I agree with Martin Luther King, a great man
He was probably disliking the interviewer lol
NON VIOLENCE….NOT FOR COWARDS…!!
This is how you achieve equivalencies. Equivalence is peace, and violence can not bring equivalence and peace. Perhaps the BLM movements is seeking for vengeance, instead of peace.
Protesting with violence will gain hostility; protesting with peace will gain sympathy.
I'm in the midst of a peaceful protest in the neighborhood of a state I moved to completely unaware of the bizarre tense southern influence and the black oppression prior to coming here. Weirdly enough its not the south I moved to, but to the west. Oregon. I could tell you alot of things but I'd rather not. (unless you're interested). I've already witnessed and experienced such insensitivities that I wouldn't want anyone reading to be stirred... Think your a strong black person? I did. But in a place like Oregon, it is not recognized and it will test what you think you know about yourself to every degree of your bones. Luckily I'm moving back to my home state in two months. I will say this.. They are very happy that I will be leaving and have become very honest about it and my "Northern intrusion" this week now that its close to my move.

Hi i'm french and i didn't grab the word he used, at 5:35 "SOME PACIFISTS ARE ..." (annikus?)
Anarchist, I believe is what he said.
Anarchists. Their philosophy is that there should be no control over human behaviors or societies, and that chaos is the natural order. They believe in a state of disorder due to the absence of any authority whatsoever. (Dr. King was quite articulate, but he sometimes showed small features of a Southern dialect in his speech. He was from Georgia, and they can have a very thick accent.) :)
A great mind.
