King wanted peaceful but effective protest. Asking for equality was not working. King believed that the time for diplomacy was over. White society, including white clergy, had no intention to afford black Americans the rights they deserve. King fears that if their protests are dismissed as "rabble rousers" and "outside agitators" , violence from the negro population would be the result.
