Non-violence and racial justice- Non-Violent Theory-King

Following the presentaions my classmates had made, I came to the conclusion that King always focused on Non Violent theory. King would continuoulsy mention love, not the love that you are thinking of. He focused on the love that derived from the Christian religion. It may have seemed as if King attempted to make the black people look weak however it was the complete opposite, "Do not seek to defeat or humiliate the opponent" (King 8) what king focused on was reverse psychology, if he would not humiliate or attemp to defeat the opponent, rather he would set out to hug him. He would force the opponent to "think". Questions would arise that would be best answered by the Christian religion. Love is mentioned throughout the presentaion many times, King would focus on to win the opponents friendship and understanding, he would beat them mentally rather than physically.
