No one is saying that neither of them was flawed. I am saying that their legacies in terms of the effectiveness and sincerity of the non-violent movements they led were pretty damn near flawless.
And none of the things you have said dissuades me from their rightness in saying that, in a situation like we have in America today, where we vastly outnumber the Nazis and we actually have the power, nonviolence is the only answer. For our situation, both Ghandi and King showed us the only way forward.
Beyond that, we are going in circles. Someday we may find ourselves marching next to each other. I won't argue with you any more.
