This is the great new problem of mankind. we have inherited a large house, a great ‘world house’ in which we have to live together– black and white, easterner and westerner, gentile and jew, catholic and protestant, muslim and hindu– a family unduly separated in ideas, culture and interest, who, because we can never again live apart, must learn somehow to live with each other in peace.

More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
Movie Jobs Nice
Let us consider the actual, worldly jew - not the sabbath jew, as bauer does, but the everyday jew. ... what is the worldly religion of the jew? huckstering. what is his worldly god? money. money is the jealous god of israel, in face of which no other god may exist. money degrades all the gods of man - and turns them into commodities. the bill of exchange is the real god of the jew. his god is only an illusory bill of exchange. the chimerical nationality of the jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general.
Real Jealous Men
I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. the white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. the white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. the white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.
Men Thinking White Man
White man and black man, jew and gentile, protestant and catholic, will be able to hold hands and sing in the words of the ancient negro spiritual, "free at last, free at last. thank god almighty! we are free at last!"
Spiritual Freedom Men
I came to the conclusion long ago that all religions were true and that also that all had some error in them, and while i hold by my own religion, i should hold other religions as dear as hinduism. so we can only pray, if we were hindus, not that a christian should become a hindu; but our innermost prayer should be that a hindu should become a better hindu, a muslim a better muslim, and a christian a better christian.
Christian Spiritual Prayer
Human beings by nature want happiness and do not want suffering. with that feeling everyone tries to achieve happiness and tries to get rid of suffering, and everyone has the basic right to do this. in this way, all here are the same, whether rich or poor, educated or uneducated, easterner or westerner, believer or non-believer, and within believers whether buddhist, christian, jewish, muslim, and so on. basically, from the viewpoint of real human value we are all the same.
