King's claim that he was invited into Birmingham effectively disproves the first argument that the clergymen present, as the evidence of his invitation by the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights shows that he was not an outsider.]]> 2021-11-08 18:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876003334 bburden62 https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876003573 The second accusation brought forth by the Clergymen is that the campaigns for racial equality are poorly timed, and that those in charge should wait for the proper moment.]]> 2021-11-08 18:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876003573 bburden62 https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876003738 The Clergymen argue that the actions taken within the demonstrations precipitate violence, and therefore should be condemned. ]]> 2021-11-08 18:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876003738 bburden62 https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876003921 The clergymen argue that the racial issues in the Birmingham area can be solved by the citizens meeting with their knowledge and experience of the local situation, with all of the citizens facing the responsibility and finding proper channels for its accomplishment.]]> 2021-11-08 18:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876003921 bburden62 https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876004219 The Clergymen argue that the black community in Birmingham should withdraw support from the Civil Rights demonstrations and solve the problems in courts through negotiations among local leaders. ]]> 2021-11-08 18:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876004219 bburden62 https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876004463 King responds by saying that the protesters have already tried to wait out their problems, and that the opportune time, according to white people, will never come (King 284). King continues to refute the Clergymen's argument by saying that they simply want the protesters to wait infinitely, without hope.]]> 2021-11-08 18:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876004463 bburden62 https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876004683 King responds by saying that accusing the protests of precipitating violence is equal to condemning a robbed man due to his possession of money (King 287). It makes no sense that the protests would precipitate violence, as this would be condemning those who are being prosecuted while raising the the prosecutors to a pedestal of greatness.]]> 2021-11-08 18:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876004683 bburden62 https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876004884 King responds by saying that the white people within Birmingham and other cities within the south have no care for the black people within them (King 290). The white people in general, including the church and policemen, had no true care about desegregation, and would generally disapprove of it.]]> 2021-11-08 18:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876004884 bburden62 https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876005112 King responds by saying that he has never seen those who have not suffered under segregation call the direct-action campaigns well-timed. These people will constantly say "Wait" which almost always means "Never." It is easy to ask someone else to wait when a person has no idea what that other person has lived through (King 284). King's counterpoint is that colored people have been refused their rights for far too long to simply sit down and wait for so-called "proper timing." Action is the only remaining way to counter segregation.]]> 2021-11-08 18:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bburden62/biwlhxnkciqcqxed/wish/1876005112
