Explanation:

Following the assassination of Martin Luther King, the most important figure in the civil rights movement, on April 4, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy held a speech. He expresses grief and compassion, understanding how this tragedy affects the fight of African Americans for equal rights. He understands why they may feel resentment towards white people but asks them not to, as that is something King wouldn't have wanted. That would only lead to additional separation of black and white people, which is exactly what the civil rights movement fought against. This is why we can say that the main point he was making is that one must resist the temptation to blame others following a tragedy like King's assassination.
