The president stressed that violent protests are not protected under the law as tensions escalate during pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses nationwide.
First, I must confess that over the last 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 the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er 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 can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”
Oh lol I posted the exact same quote on another post about this story. The way Biden asks for ‘order’, it was the first place my mind went.
Hell yeah you did, and i love the quote so I read it in both.
