    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

    I strive for positive peace, which is not possible through the moderate Democratic party as it is. Voting for Biden simply because he isn’t Trump, and insisting that that is the only way forward because it is an absence of tension, is not a good long term strategy. I’m not interested in arguing further unless you can actually argue rather than just spew insults.

    Go ahead though, call MLK a “priv.”
