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."

He definitely had an idea of why they happen and it doesn't sound like what your average TD poster says.

MLK wouldn't vomit at how people are protesting. He'd vomit Bc of WHY they are protesting. He lived in a time of actual racism, and his cause was just. This is a time of conjured up oppression, when being a victim is all-important. I'm really sorry this generation missed out on the real civil rights struggles, but they did. Pretending this is the 1960s doesn't make it so.
