Dedicated to disseminating news & information not found in mainstream media....

One cannot only condemn the actions the oppressed without also condemning the actions of the oppressor

While MLK Jr.’s statements about riots were misappropriated to justify the riots and looting in the US after the death of

Martin Luther King, Jr. - Freedom is never voluntarily...

George Floyd, the irony is that the French, along with so many other European nations, celebrated those very riots during the summer of 2020 in the US. MLK Jr. condemned riots, indiscriminate violence, and the destruction and theft of property denouncing them as ineffective ways to resolve one’s grievances. His statement about riots was not an endorsement of them but meant to make a larger point, which is that riots are the logical end to a failure to address injustice. Americans should be very familiar with this. The revolutionary war, slave revolts, and resistance movements prior to the passage of civil rights legislation in the 60’s demonstrate this phenomenon. What MLK’s words sought to demonstrate was that one cannot fail to underscore the causal link between one oppression and another, one cannot only condemn the actions the oppressed without also condemning the actions of the oppressor prompting the oppressed to react.
