MLK's actual thoughts on riots
![Since many have misunderstood my point here, I can assure you that it doesn't have to do with the two statements being contradictory, as both statements were brought up in the same speech. Rather, it's how people choose to take the top quote and present it as a justification for riots, falsely painting MLK's opinion on the matter as positive rather than negative.
Yes, riots are a result of injustice, and steps should be taken to have said injustice be rid of, but attempting to do so through violent hysteria is not a method that MLK was ever in favor of.
