"I am thankful, however, that some of our white brothers in the South have grasped the meaning of this social revolution and committed themselves to it. They are still all too few in quality, but they are big in quality. Some-Such as Ralph McGill, Lillian Smith, Harry Golden, James McBride Dabbs, Ann Braden and Sarah Patton Boyle--Have written about our struggle in eloquent and prophetic terms. Others have marched with us down nameless streets of the South. They have languished in filthy, roach infested jails, suffering the abuse and brutality of policemen who view them as "dirty loving ni*****" Unlike so many of their moderate brothers and sisters, they have recognized the urgency of the moment and sensed the need of powerful "action" antidotes to combat the disease of segregation" (Paragraph 32)
Martin Luther King Jr. speaks about his white " brothers" and how they helped them by helping with their protests and writing about their struggles. It lets the people who read this letter know that there are some other white people who are actually capable of helping the black people and recognize their struggles unlike the other white people. This just lets the people know they have some white people to trust, and let's the white men who read this know that, they're doing something wrong here.

"I feel impelled to mention one other point in your statement that has troubled me profoundly. You warmly commended the Birmingham police force for keeping "order" and "preventing violence." I doubt that you would have so warmly commended the police force if you had seen its dogs sinking their teeth into unarmed, nonviolent Negroes. I doubt that you would so quickly commend the policemen if you were to observe their ugly and inhumane treatment of Negroes here in the city jail, if you were to watch them push and curse old Negro women and young Negro girls; if you were to see them slap and kick old Negro men and young boys; if you were to observe them, as they did on two occasions, refuse to give us food because we wanted to sing out grace together. I cannot join you in your praise of the Birmingham police department." Paragraph 44
King talks about the policemen and how they have treated the black people, for the white people reading this, they be guilty and probably tense about the situtation knowing how they commended the police men for basically just assaulting the black people. For the black people who read this, this may incite anger in them for what they have done to their other people and hate the police force after. He most talks about this to make the white men reflect on their actions about the police.

"The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse and buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter."
King shows on how other countries are already progressing way further for reaching their freedom, yet the united states are no where near close that, and still struggle with just getting a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. Which shows on how far in the past the U.S. is still in.
