What do y'all know about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I admit I don't know much at all, but this quote out of his book isn't being followed at all.

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy, instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it . . . Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go From Here

Wasn't he that conservative civil rights activist that the dems kept going after?

Because MLK rightly wanted 'Character valued equality,' not racist color quotas...
