First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Today's News:

Donald Trump endorsed the ethnic cleansing of #Gaza, which is support for a war crime ...

Meaning he has joined all the other western leaders in committing and supporting war crimes ...

Which includes your favourite centre or supposed left-of-centre politician who you very much prefer over Donald Trump, but is really very cosy with him, barely different to him, both pandering to corporate interests and supporting war in resource-rich countries.

It's all the rage nowadays, committing war crimes

And it's our leaders committing them.
