    "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.”

      Cool. I’ve read what Dr. King has written. You still asked me for suggestions and ignored them. And the fact that you think Dr. King applies here when we are talking about mostly people of color suffering is ironic as fuck.

          Please quote what I am dictating. I would like to see what I am dictating. Unless you’re lying, of course. I’m betting on the latter, but feel free to prove me wrong.

          I’d also love to know what you think regularly trying to accuse me of being a coward achieves.

              Not one quote.

              So you lied. Got it.

              And if it is “apparent to everyone” that I am a coward, why keep pointing it out? Also, if that makes me a coward, why are you glad about it?

                  I may be simple, but you still lied. Although this sure looks like dictating to me, so I’m not sure why you have a problem with such behavior:

                  Go pick another argument with another user champ, that seems to be your hobby.

          Are you seriously calling out someone for having a moment of weakness because he was afraid for the safety of his family?

          What the fuck is wrong with you?
