Bell Hooks Quotes:
Ocupation: Author
Life: b. September 25, 1952
Birthday: September 25
I think this is what people misunderstand about Martin Luther King saying to love your enemies. They think he was just using this silly little phrase, but what he meant was that as Black Americans we need to let our anger go, because holding on to it we hold ourselves down. We oppress ourselves by holding on to anger.
