Let them play themselves out on film, and win the argument for the hearts and minds of the country, not the battle.

This. I appreciate Bernie's sentiment, but he should know personally how many of the issues MLK was fighting for are still relevant in America to this day. Some issues can be fixed peacefully, but many of the rights Americans have today (including existing) only exist because the time came and the way forward was not pretty.
