If someone came out today, preaching the same values as MLK, he would be seen as an Uncle Tom by the new activists. He was a straight man. Married with kids. College educated. A christian, whose views were influenced by his religion, I dare say the best aspects of his religion. He might as well be a white man because that man has no place at the new civil rights table.
What we have now is a degenerated version of his vision. If you look at BLM’s agenda, maybe you have, you’ll see that there is a difference in core values. MLK was not a utopian because he was a rational person. The new activists are utopians, governed by their irrationality.
