Martin Luther King, Jr. Random Reader
For nonviolence not only calls upon its adherents to avoid external physical violence, but it calls upon them to avoid internal violence of spirit. It calls on them to engage in that something called love. And I know it is difficult sometimes. When I say love at this point, I'm not talking about an affectionate emotion. It's nonsense to urge people, oppressed people, to love their oppressors in an affectionate sense. I'm talking about something much deeper. I'm talking about a sort of understanding, creative, redemptive goodwill for all men. --Martin Luther King, Jr., Address at the Freedom Rally in Cobo Hall, 23 June 1963

What would Martin Luther King have us do to eradicate hate and racism on the internet blog sites of today? I believe that he would have us fill the internet with positive messages, thus leaving less room for those bent on hate, destruction and racism. That's what I'm trying to do with this tribute to Martin Luther King Jr.:
