The idea of love toward into a political force shouldn’t seem absurd, given that hatred turned into political force is wreaking havoc with the world even now. Gandhi and MLK Jr. spoke of love turned into a large scale social force for good; creating that force is our task today.
I'm kinda wondering this discussion goes... While MLK was steady philosophically, X changed and became less radical and violent. Where they ultimately disagreed, we'll never have the opportunity to discover.
