Martin Luther King Jr. said “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that”. Martin Luther King Jr. was using the word hate as an extended metaphor to the issue of racism. Racism was a major issue of his time, and it still is to this day. He also explains the reasoning as to why the problem of racism hasn’t been resolved. He basically says that adding more gasoline to fire will not put out the fire; adding more negative things to an already negative thing is not helping or resolving the issue. Racism is a problem all throughout the world, even a problem at Liberty High School, a way to stop racism is to raise awareness for this problem by using clubs, signs, and even speakers.
