No, this statement is not directly from the Bible. However, it reflects the biblical principle of seeking peace and love instead of harboring bitterness and hatred.
Their government shows bitterness to white people and racial hatred to black people.
bitterness and hatred towards him.
People who harbor hatred do so out of bitterness (they sometimes feel life has not given them what they deserve); ignorance; fear or simply hurting so bad inside the only way they can express themselves is by bitterness and hatred.

Martin Luther King used both simile and metaphor in his famous speech. The metaphor he used was "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred".
Joseph in the Old Testament of the bible was sold off to slavery by his brothers. He worked through many feelings of anger, hatred, bitterness and revenge before and while he had encounters with his brother years later. He forgave them and was willing to use his place of power to help them.
It is impossible to know if Joseph ever had to work through feelings of anger, hatred, bitterness and revenge without knowing specifically who Joseph is. The Joseph from the Bible did work through those feelings towards his brothers. They are typical human emotions, so we can assume that most "Josephs" have felt these things.
Anger, hatred and bitterness motives revenge. Revenge is Satan's weapon used to destroy someones relationship and it also destroys the relation ship with GOD.
What MLK is saying is that hate and bitterness shouldn't be used to gain the goal of freedom. He often said that returning hate with hate solves nothing, but creates problems. King followed the teaching of Gandhi where protest doesn't have to be violent to solve problems. Nonviolent protest does more to lead to the solution of problems and to change.
