MLK Quotes for MLK Day

fuckingconversations:

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

“The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.”

“The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power.” 

“Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest.”

“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

“But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?…It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.“ 

“When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

“Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor – both black and white, both here and abroad.”

“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn. The reality of substantial investment to assist Negroes into the twentieth century, adjusting to Negro neighbors and genuine school integration, is still a nightmare for all too many white Americans…These are the deepest causes for contemporary abrasions between the races. Loose and easy language about equality, resonant resolutions about brotherhood fall pleasantly on the ear, but for the Negro there is a credibility gap he cannot overlook. He remembers that with each modest advance the white population promptly raises the argument that the Negro has come far enough. Each step forward accents an ever-present tendency to backlash.”

 "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.“

Google autocomplete can be so cruel.

Well that’s just mean to Anna. It is sad how she doesn’t get as much love or attention as Elsa.

It’s just sad that this is literally the only result that comes up but I don’t consider Anna’s weirdness a bad thing. I actually love her for it but she’s so much more than just the quirky, silly sister. She’s brave, loyal, loving and so supportive of Elsa. It would be nice if she were recognized for those qualities more.

@leave-me-in-the-snow Very true. She deserves more recognition for all those things.

Anna is awesome. She is so energetic and positive. But she is not the kind of positive person that would tell someone “you need to be happy” and that’s it, on the contrary, she is the kind of positive that would stay with you and help you fight your battles because she believes in you.

She is the younger sister but she had no problem in taking the “older sister” role in order to help Elsa. She IS weird… in best kind of way.

And by the way,

It’s not nice to google people!

@the-akward-feistypants my google is nicer!

Anna is amazing and beautiful and courageous and strong and kind and wonderful.
