On one hand sometimes yes you have to use violence to gain peace which sucks but is what it is, and on the other hand when I’m out there I’m not fighting in the name of peace I’m fighting for my rights as a human.

Every fight for more rights for more people has had this tension. 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. MLK

You’re the one assuming violence. All this post mentions is anger being seen as coming from “socialized male violence.” Are you saying that us getting angry is tantamount to us getting violent, or do you just want to shove your own self righteousness into a conversation where it doesn’t belong?

How do you achieve peace while someone with running around shooting anyone they see? They will not listen to you. They will not tire or get bored. They will never stop. How do you, oh wise one, propose we deal with such a situation, if violence is always wrong?
