MLK Describes Modern Black "Conservatives" 61 Years Ago.

[IM2]

MLK gave a speech at The New School in 1964. In that speech, he described the situation blacks faced at that time. He also talked bout blacks who would today be considered black "conservatives".

"There are Negroes who will never fight for freedom. There are Negroes who seek profit for themselves alone from the struggle. There are even some Negroes who will go over to the other side. These facts should distress no one. Every minority and every people has its share of opportunists, traitors, freeloaders and escapists.

Negroes are human, not superhuman. Like all people, they have differing personalities, diverse financial interests and varied aspirations. There are Negroes who will never fight for freedom. There are Negroes who seek profit for themselves alone from the struggle. There are even some Negroes who will go over to the other side. These facts should distress no one. Every minority and every people has its share of opportunists, traitors, freeloaders and escapists. The hammer blows of discrimination, poverty and segregation must warp and corrupt some. No one can pretend that because a people may be oppressed, every individual member is virtuous and worthy."

So you see, the blacks who are on the right have nothing to do with the things King stood for.

Like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

Actually, you've done NOTHING to connect MLK's claim, to modern black MAGA.

So,.... yeah. You've said nothing.
