Only if you have white fragility.No, you are.
So the 75% you just made up. Thanks for the admission.Your opinion of uniting is not uniting, it's saying things that make whites feel comfortable. If King was such a uniter why did a white man murder him? You guys post bullshit like what you have done with no links. You can't even explain why you think the OP would call King an Uncle Tom. Then if I don't show you, then I have to read the classic saltine defense of you didn't show me so its not true. Well you were shown what an Uncle Tom is and since King was working for the betterment of blacks and not against it, there is no way in hell the OP would call him an Uncle Tom. Your ass has distilled Kings life to one sentence but he said a lot more and whites like you didn't like it.
In August 1966, less than two years before King was gunned down, when a Gallup Poll asked Americans for their opinion of King, 63 percent of Americans had an unfavorable opinion of the civil rights icon. In a Harris Poll that same year, 95 percent of African-American respondents gave King a favorable rating.
In that same Harris Poll, 54 percent of whites said that they would not march or protest if they “were in the same position as Negroes,” and two months later, in October 1966, 85 percent of whites (pdf) said that civil rights demonstrations hurt Negroes more than they helped. By December, many whites had changed their minds, but 50 percent told Harris pollsters that Martin Luther King Jr. hurt “the Negro cause of civil rights.”
From Most Hated to American Hero: The Whitewashing of Martin Luther King Jr.
There is a recipe for making a hero.www.theroot.comMLK Was Not Always A Popular Man
"He was not searching for popularity," Clayborne Carson, director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Institute at Stanford, said.www.newsweek.com
The numbers were more like 75 percent of Americans. And as you can see, most white people did not approve of King or the Civil Rights Movement.
In 1968, Nearly A Third Of Americans Said MLK Brought His Assassination On Himself
While he was alive, most white Americans didn't think Martin Luther King Jr. was helping the cause of civil rights.
Back in the 1960s, when King was actually leading protests, just 36 percent of white Americans thought he was helping “the Negro cause of civil rights,” according to historical polling data compiled by the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research. In a 1966 Gallup poll, more than 60 percent of the public rated King more negatively than positively.
After King was assassinated, two-thirds of Americans said their strongest reaction to his death had been sadness, anger, shame or fear, another survey found. Another 31 percent, however, said they “felt he brought it on himself.”
King’s convicted killer, James Earl Ray, received a flood of supportive letters while he awaited trial, the Los Angeles Times noted.
“King stirred up violence and caused many to lose their lives,” one Californian wrote Ray. “The FBI classified him as a trouble-maker. If you killed King, you did a good job, for he had it coming to him.”

Have a cookie. Because you were a white kid then and you probably didn't pay a lot of attention to what was going on. I saw how the movement worked at the local level and the white resistance to it. We were in local marches with our parents. We went to city hall with our parents. We went to school board meetings with our parents. We attended political events with our parents. We had fights with white kids who called King Martin Luther Coon. Those kids are now like you, trying to repeat one sentence and make claims about how blacks today would not be approved by King.
You guys need to keep that mans name out of your mouths unless you are willing to face what he truly represented and not what you want to gaslight us with. Blacks know what he stood for and he is the original BLACK LIVES MATTER.
So you admit that you’re a racist. Good for you.Only if you have white fragility.
No, that term was created by a white person and not every white person has white fragility. Maybe you educate yourself so that you don't embarrass yourself with false equivalences.So you admit that you’re a racist. Good for you.
IM2 lives in a fantasy world so he needs to deny things that are obviously true. Such as him being the most racist person on USMB for example.So you admit that you’re a racist. Good for you.
You win that one. I live in reality.IM2 lives in a fantasy world so he needs to deny things that are obviously true. Such as him being the most racist person on USMB for example.
No, I did not make that up. 75 percent of America hated King. As the numbers show, 85 percent of whites disapproved of the civil rights movement King was leading. But nice try. You still are unable to explain why the OP would call King an Uncle Tom. That's what YOU made up and THAT'S what is in contention.So the 75% you just made up. Thanks for the admission.
Yep, he was an Uncle Tom, he was loved.No, I did not make that up. 75 percent of America hated King. As the numbers show, 85 percent of whites disapproved of the civil rights movement King was leading. But nice try. You still are unable to explain why the OP would call King an Uncle Tom. That's what YOU made up and THAT'S what is in contention.
Explain how you think the OP would call King an Uncle Tom. Because whites didn't love him when he was killed and racist whites wouldn't love him now. You love one sentence he said, you don't love King. Because he said this too:Yep, he was an Uncle Tom, he was loved.
Whites murdered him. They didn't think he was a good American. And neither do you.MLK was one of the best Americans that ever lived
You don't know the first thing about being White and having to deal with you people. Just compare downtown Atlanta today to the ay it was in 1960 to see all the justification Jim Crow will ever need.Plenty. Because I am black and have been the one outnumbered by whites. You haven't experienced shit. Jim Crow has not been proven to be justified unless you're ignorant and racist. Which you are.
Then that was meant for somebody else, and I erroneously tagged you in it.I never mentioned MLK
MLK was a fraudulent hoodlum.MLK was one of the best Americans that ever lived
Downtown ATl is all darksYou don't know the first thing about being White and having to deal with you people. Just compare downtown Atlanta today to the ay it was in 1960 to see all the justification Jim Crow will ever need.
Didn’t one white person murder him?Whites murdered him. They didn't think he was a good American. And neither do you.
You'll have zero cred in these race forums until you admit what we can all plainly see, that you're a racist, which I'm sure that even your friends and family know.No, that term was created by a white person and not every white person has white fragility. Maybe you educate yourself so that you don't embarrass yourself with false equivalences.
You are delusional if you dont think that MLK's views are FAAAAAAARRRRRRR closer to the right today than the left. MLK would fucking hate progressives and other woke losers.Martin would be labeled racist by the modern Woke-white-conservative-marxists were he alive today.
“Why is equality so assiduously avoided? Why does white America delude itself, and how does it rationalize the evil it retains?
The majority of white Americans consider themselves sincerely committed to justice for the Negro. They believe that American society is essentially hospitable to fair play and to steady growth toward a middle-class Utopia embodying racial harmony. But unfortunately this is a fantasy of self-deception and comfortable vanity.”
— Where Do We Go From Here, 1967
“I contend that the cry of “Black Power” is, at bottom, a reaction to the reluctance of white power to make the kind of changes necessary to make justice a reality for the Negro. I think that we’ve got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the economic plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.”
— Interview with Mike Wallace, 1966
“But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?… It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.”
— The Other America, 1968
“The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power.”
— The Three Evils of Society, 1967
The Woke-White-Right, Critical Post Racialism Theorists like to cherry pick king to gaslight the modern MLK antiracism movements. King would roll over in his grave if he knew that the moderate whites(a euphemism for racists) are exhibiting the same behavior they exhibited towards him. White people hated king back then, just like they hate the modern woke that continue his legacy. It goes to show you that the woke are right after all, and the white moderates are doing what they've always done.
Shut the hell up racist. There is no justification for Jim Crow.You don't know the first thing about being White and having to deal with you people. Just compare downtown Atlanta today to the ay it was in 1960 to see all the justification Jim Crow will ever need.
