In his letter, Martin Luther King states that the oppressor is not going to be the one to change for the better, but change should be demanded through the oppressed. Unfortunately it took the minority a couple of centuries to finally break the unjust ways of our government because of their adjustment to inferiority. The minorities were struggling to make a change, until Dr. King gave them the tools to make their dream of equality true.
What is justice? King emphasized on just and unjust ways of our government. He describes "unjust" as not justice at all. There is a plethora of views of the definition of "justice". It is a word that has been manipulated into what the government believes is right for the generation. It was justice for the government and unjust for the our minorities, but what about the white middle man? Dr. King explained their position and why they are not consider innocent bystanders. They were in the middle of the war to freedom yet did not stand for what they believed in because they were not effected at the time. This is an on going problem of America in the sense that natives believe they should not take risk if it did not concern or disturb their way of living which leaves the it difficult to achieve a better future. In order to make a change, King confronted the group that broke the barriers of the segregation. If the white middle man finally took a stand then the White conservative and government would take into consideration because there was relativity.
King also took a great approach by using non-violence protesting. Our world is immune to hate, which only brings more negativity. "An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind"-MLK. It took courage of a radical thinker to create such an ingenious method to initiate the break of hatred with love. Thats the most significant factor that governments lack.
With out Radical thinkers could our world move forward? Is time moving forward constructively or destructively?
