Nelson Mandela, then acting as a defense lawyer, during the Treason Trial in Johannesburg, South Africa, 1961.
Make no mistake, they were radicals. They were seeking nothing less than a fundamental reordering of the societies they were born into. King and Mandela somehow found within themselves the ability to love those who hated and brutalized them. King did it through his commitment to nonviolence, Mandela through a commitment to multiracial democracy that survived nearly 30 years of imprisonment.
As Mandela stood in the dock in 1964 being railroaded by a racist court that criminalized his opposition to government by white supremacy, he declared:
"I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against
black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and
free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with
equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to
achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."

Dr. King was a great man. His wife wanted his last sermon to played in it's entirety at his funeral. That speech was called the drum major instinct. The changes King was making were to be hid by white America. Elijah Muhammad was also a man that believed in non-violence. And the power of love. Yes love your enemies, bless them that curse you, and pray for them that despite fully use you. Even though you live in a world where the people that go against this is the ones that come to power.
Mandela was freed at a time when blacks had no choice but to try to take South Africa back by force. They were going to be killed anyway. And they had decided that they would rather die fighting than to die on their knees begging. They used Mandela to stop this race riot. But they still plan on getting rid of blacks. First to get rid of the ones that they have trouble being carbon copies of them. And then to finally get rid of all the blacks. Their plan will just take a little longer now because of some waking up out of the sleep.
When people try to poison you, shoot you, etc. You know they are out to kill you. If you want them to live with you, or rule you then you are suicidal and making it easier for them to kill you. Let them shoot you with a gun you built for them.
