"Pertanent quotes from MLK"
Fri May-01-15 01:55 AM by neuro_OSX

  

          

The line "the riot is the language of the unheard" I first heard in a "Rage Against the Machine" song, until now I had no idea they were paraphrasing MLK.


"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."

— “The Other America,” 1968

“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.”

— “Revolution of Values,” 1967

Listen to Ed Norton.

Sounds quite like Bill O'Reilly. With a swastika tattoo.
