dr. king from a birmingham jail and he says, i have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the negroes great stumbling block in the strive to freedom is not the white citizens council or the cku klux claner but the white m moderate who is devoted to order than to justice, who prefers a negative piece, which is the absence of tension, to a positive piece, press the presence of justice, which c constantly says i agree with you but i cannot agree with your actions who believes that he can set the timetable for another man s freedom who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises a ne hegro to wait for a more convenient season. that sounds like the moderates. not now, we can t change the rules because the rules are t tradition. but we re going to block people from the voting and you re supposed to be a democrat who espouses to the ideals of dr. king.
regrettable conclusion that the negro s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the white citizens councillor or the ku klux klaner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice. i mean, this still today for those who don t know, errin, i m sure you do, today is actually dr. martin luther king s birthday. errin, i don t want to see a single tweet from anybody quoting dr. king who is standing in the way of the path to the ballot box. and i just know we re about to get a flurry of these tweets from mitch mcconnell, from kyrsten sinema from joe manchin, and it s like miss me with all your mess. your take on how people celebrate king day amidst what s happening right now. you know, tiffany, it s interesting. you mentioned twitter, one thing
