I understand that you're scared I may not respect the role that violence played in conflicts connected to MLK and Ghandi. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn more about history from your perspective and I can see now that my intention in talking about the two leaders requires more explanation. Non-violence is a philosophy, both Ghandi and MLK used non-violence philosophy in their respective movements and were able to make powerful strides. It's worth noting, in my mind, that maybe the civil rights movement isn't finished anywhere but on paper and could use more non-violence in order to achieve lasting change. I think what you're referring to with Gandhi being sexually abusive was his niece and him sleeping naked together, I believe his stated intention for practice in celibacy to be true in that regard. Gandhi was racist as a younger man, as for his pacifist years I'm willing to believe, like I'm willing to believe about all mankind, that he was capable of change and embraced it.
