What MLK forced whites to do is look at themselves in the mirrorWhat you just claimed, is not true. Lynchings were pretty much a done deal, before MLK was even on the scene.
My point stands. The story of the Civil Rights movement is not about blacks, or MLK forcing Whites to do shit, it is about the White majority eventually forcing the racist minority to stop fucking around.
This period of racial oppression was only able to survive as long as it did, because of the support from "liberal" white dems in the north. Once that artificial support was removed, the power of the racist minority was quickly crushed.

Whites finally had to do something about it
