I certainly hope so.  I like them.  My last girlfriend was 
black; my best teachers have been Jewish.  

How about you, Jumbles?  When will you stop hating people in 
general?

King would later admit that at the start of the boycott be 
was not firmly committed to Gandhian principles. He had 
initially advocated nonviolence not as a way of life but as 
a practical necessity for a racial minority. When his home 
was bombed at the end of January, he had cited Jesus-- "He 
who lives by the sword whill perish by the sword"-- rather 
than Gandhi in urging angry black neighbors to remain 
nonviolent. At the time of the bombing, King was seeking a 
gun permit, and he was protected by armed bodyguards. Only 
after the bombing did King alter his views on the use of 
weapons for protection. His reconsideration was encouraged 
by the arrival in Montgomery of two pacifists who were far 
more aware than he of Gandhian principles.

Morehouse College President Benjamin Mays had exposed him to 
Gandhian principles during his undergraduate years, but King 
had remained skeptical afterward: "I thought the only way we 
could solve our problem of segregation was an armed revolt. 
I felt that the Christian ethic of love was confined to 
individual relationships." By the time of the bus boycott, 
however, King had begun to see nonvolence not only as a 
pragmatic choice but a moral necessity. His Christian 
convictions converged with his increasingly sophisticated 
understanding of Gandhian ideas. He would explain to a 
reporter that "the spirit of passive resistance came to me 
from the Bible, from the teachings of Jesus. The techniques 
came from Gandhi." In King's view Gandhi had proved that 
nonviolence could work as a method of resistance for 
oppressed people. "A little brown man in India" confronted 
the British empire, King told a cheering audience at the 
annual convention of the NAACP. "But in the midst of that 
physical force he confronted that empire with soul force."
