“The white supremacist attitude, which you have either consciously or subconsciously, is running rampant through society today….When the missionaries came to civilize us because we were uncivilized, to educate us because we were uneducated, and to give us some literate studies because we were illiterate, they charged a price. The missionaries came with the Bible, and we had the land: When they left, they had the land, and we still have the Bible. That’s the rationalization for Western civilization….that the rest of the world is uncivilized and they are in fact civilized” (Carmichael 2).

It seeks to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored….but there is a type of constructive nonviolent tension that is necessary for growth.” (King 2).
