Whenever President Donald Trump — or any political leader — stands up to condemn all of the violence at a national tragedy such as Charlottesville, Va. regardless of the causes, political or otherwise, those calls should be embraced, lest the result be that some forms of political violence be justified — and perpetuated as a consequence.
That was what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. preached. He said, "Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love... Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding."
King deplored the violence on all sides of the national pursuit of racial equality. In his book, "Where do we go from here: Chaos or community?" King condemned the "terror of extremist white violence" and at the same time gave an equal share of the blame for violence to those who resorted to riots to end racial oppression and segregation: "in several Northern and Western cities, most tragically in Watts, young Negroes had exploded in violence. In an irrational burst of rage they had sought to say something, but the flames had blackened both themselves and their oppressors."
While King understood why the riots occurred — he called them the "language of the unheard" — and yet he did not justify them, instead saying, "riots are socially destructive and self-defeating" and "there's no practical or moral answer in the realm of violence" and "there is no violent solution" to social injustices.
