(A/N: In honor of Dr. Martin Luther day, I've decided to have the cast react to his iconic "I have a Dream" Speech. Dr. King was such a legend for his speech, and considering how the White Fang started off similar to how the Civil Rights movement was, I just felt like it was appropriate for me to have RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, SSSN, Qrow, and Winter react to this.)

"Oh man, Blake's gonna love this" ISM chuckled

"Is it Ninjas of Love?" Yang smugly asked, causing Blake to blush and glare at her as everyone expect for Ruby laughed, with Ruby's eyes slightly twitching in anger at the thought of Ninjas of Love

"YANG!" Blake angrily yelled

"Well no it's not" ISM chuckled, causing Blake to let out a sigh of relief, though she still had a blush.

"So. As I'm sure you all know, the White Fang started off as a peaceful group of protesters, right?" ISM started, causing everyone to sober up.

"Of course. With the purpose of bringing equality for the Faunus" Winter said

"Look where that turned out" Blake angrily asked herself, causing Sun to lightly pat her in the back

"Well, in my universe, specifically in The United States, we had the Civil Rights Movement. It was a movement that people of colored skin, aka Sage's skin color, all fought for equal rights with the white man, since Faunus in my universe were never really discriminated as much as other races" ISM explained

"How'd it go?" Velvet nervously asked. ISM told them many times that his universe was often more violent than theirs, and him talking about this was making her and everyone else nervous.

"Very well" ISM chuckled, "While yes, some people did the things that the White Fang did before becoming legitimate terrorists- shut the fuck up Blake I know what you're about to say, they're fucking terrorists! (Blake frowned at ISM, who rolled his eyes underneath his helmet)- anyways, they also peacefully protested, similar to the Old White Fang."

"I'm guessing those went awful" Ren sighed

"Actually no" ISM replied, shocking everyone, "The peaceful protests, while at the start didn't work, more and more people followed suit. Eventually The United States' President at the time, John F. Kennedy and his Vice President, Lyndon B. Johnson, both voiced their support for The Civil Rights movement and along with some of the movement's leaders, created equal rights for the colored man." ISM explained

"Wait, so the peaceful shit like, actually worked for you guys?!" Sun said in shock

"Didn't you say that you're universe is often the more brutal one?!" a shocked Neptune followed up

"Yep. But we have one thing that your planet doesn't have. C O M M O N S E N S E ! ! ! Well, for the most part." ISM replied

"If the peaceful protesting worked, then they probably do" Coco chuckled

"Yep. During the Civil Rights movement, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, a black man who faced discrimination all his life, gave one of the most iconic speeches of all time, cementing him as the face of the Civil Rights movement" ISM said

"And we're gonna watch it?" Blake, Velvet and Sun all asked, a bit of excitement and hope in their voices

"You're god damn right!" ISM said

"I'm not one for speeches, but this sounds like one I'll like" Nora said with a grin

"I sure as hell hope so" Sage chuckled 

"What's the name of the speech?" Qrow asked

"I have a Dream" ISM replied

"Catchy and good name, like it" Qrow said with a grin as ISM started the video
