- He is using his credibility and trying to show that he is a good person. He is saying, or asking, himself if he can accept blows and attacks without retaliating, and the answer is yes.

- Pathos
- But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate filled policemen curse, kick and even kill your black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society;
- Martin Luther King Jr. is trying to use logic to explain why they did not need to use violence when he was being peaceful.

He does this so people understand his point of view and are motived to change.
- Logos
- Isn't this like condemning a robbed man because his possession of money precipitated the evil act of robbery?Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical inquiries precipitated the act by the misguided populace in which they made him drink hemlock?Isn't this like condemning Jesus because his unique God consciousness and never-ceasing devotion to God's will precipitated the evil act of crucifixion?
