We see the riots taken place
Already before the summer has started
We've seen three or four riots
in communities in our nation
Now I will continue to condemn riots. I
think if you know anything about my philosophy, you know that it is the philosophy of non-violence and
I will always remain true to that philosophy because I believe in it and I'm still
Convinced that the most potent weapon available to the Negro and his struggle for freedom and human dignity
is
nonviolent resistance and
I am convinced that if our programmatic strategy ever becomes a violent strategy
unborn generations
will be the recipients of a long and desolate night of bitterness and
Our chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless. Chaos
and so I realize that
Black rioting can be black suicide on the other hand though. It is necessary for me to say something just as strong
It is necessary for me to condemn
the conditions that
Cause people to feel that they have no other alternative to get attention
but to engage in a riot so while condemning riots I
Insist on being as vigorous in condemning the persistent
Existence of intolerable conditions in our society which caused people to riot
