One would think that fighting was an integral part of freedom fighting, but that's just my rather young and inexperienced opinion.

MLK fought for freedom for black people and white people within a system that was anything but free, and because the system still existed after MLK was assassinated, one could say that the so-called 'system' prevailed.

And why?

Because it had the capacity to assassinate someone and get away with it.

p.s; i defy you to call Jesus a freedom fighter once more.

Uhm... Ok Jesus was a freedom fighter. (He tore it up in the temple)

I'm not really sure how you can say the system prevailed when the number of interracial marriages is soaring.

That's pretty much what King wanted. Unity among races of different peoples.
