Why has the left cancelled Martin Luther King, Jr?

Why? After 50 years, do Conservatives still misinterpret MLKs statement?

MLK SUPPORTED Affirmative Action

How do conservatives misinterpret MLKs statement about judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin?

ConservatIves are somewhat simple creatures. They take everything literally

MLK wanted to level the playing field. He understood that declaring equality was a long way from achieving it.

So you're saying we shouldn't take MLK seriously when he said we should judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. You're a lying dog-faced pony soldier.

Lets look at it this way

Dr King thought Black Lives Matter
He died for it

But he didn't kill for it. Should he have?

Obama said marriage is between a man and a woman..So he is HOMOPHOBIC.

Nice try to derail the thread.

Clearly, you cannot address the original post. Maybe fuck off.

Since it doesn't exist ,what is the point? Whites are just inherently more intelligent.

You forgot the word "some" in front of the word "Whites". You are proof positive that my statement is true.

He also said his views on the issue have evolved, as it has with most Americans

 

[rightwinger]

Sure he said that, but he also believed that, in the meantime, "A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for the Negro".

He was for affirmative action and reparations.

MLK was for white and black anti poverty policies. He said there were more poor whites than blacks so every poor person should have better lives.

Dr King supported redistribution of wealth

For everyone, white and black.

It's childish to use one line about poverty to pretend that MLK's focus wasn't on the black condition. There wasn't some grander all-inclusive philosophy involving whites as well. Must serve some weird liberal purpose to paint it that way.

Wrong again
Before he was killed, MLK was shifting focus to distribution of wealth, healthcare and poverty

Poor People's Campaign - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Poor People's Campaign was motivated by a desire for economic justice: the idea that all people should have what they need to live. King and the SCLC shifted their focus to these issues after observing that gains in civil rights had not improved the material conditions of life for many African Americans. The Poor People's Campaign was a multiracial effort—including African Americans, white Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Indigenous people—aimed at alleviating poverty regardless of race.

You are rewriting history. That was formed the year of MLKs assassination and led by Abernathy. You are ignoring all of MLKs writings and speeches up to that point, which were laser focused on black issues. It's not a bad thing, so don't know why you all feel it needs to be recast to include concern for whitey. Again, it's one of those weird liberal tells that indicates what they really think.

Not at all
Prior to his death, Dr King took sides against the Vietnam War, against all poverty, for healthcare, for redistribution of wealth.

He was more than one issue

For decades, the left preached MLK’s message to not judge someone by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Now, they do not judge by the content of their character, but by the color of their skin.

When did this change and why?

Too funny that you pretend to be on board with MLK Jr.

He also supported reparations and was a socialist.

Take a wild guess why Republicans and the right like to lie about him.

No, white trash like you have co opted one sentence King spoke and try using it when whites who continue practicing racism are held to account. When talk about whites who practice racism that racism shows the content of their character.

MLK preached racial reconciliation, not racial division. The media and Dims are only about racial division. MLK has become a quaint anachronism.

No, he preached racial equality. We have not got there and the people who are about social division are whites like you.

STFU you racist son-of a bitch! People like you should be horse-whipped for stupidity! Welcome to the allowed grounds of my "ignore list". About half of the residents are stupid racist motherfuckers like you and the others are liberals.

MLK would have supported BLM and be outraged at the George Floyd killing
He also would have opposed Georgia’s revised voting laws

Racism is a character trait. Not all whites are racists. Those who continue practicing it are being judged by the content of their character.

Now given the amount of judging you white racists do about blacks here at USMB, maybe you should keep Dr. Kings name out of your motherfucking mouths.

YOU are the problem Dr. King was trying to fix. YOU judge people by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character. That's because YOU have no character.
