In advance of MLK Jr. day, I recommend people read the full "I Have a Dream" speech. MLK articulated the most important argument of the CRM: America's founding principles are great, but the country was failing to live up to them.

archives.gov/files/press/ex…
This was a brilliant reframing of the debate by MLK. It wasn't us vs. them, but instead he said ALL Americans who support the Constitution and the DoI must support the promises those documents made to all Americans. In other words, opposing equality was un-American.
Now it was a debate not between blacks and whites, but between those who support freedom and American principles and those who oppose it.

MLK Jr. ensured a path to equality forever changed the country by appealing to America's principles. We are all better off because of it.

So let’s get this out of the way since the left is throwing everything at the wall hoping something sticks to smear these kids. Now some random teenage girl shared a 6 second snap video of kids who might be from Covington Catholic yelling at her and her friend as they walk by. 1/
We know nothing about what she said to them or context. We can’t even be sure they are CC student. Only seems relevant bc she suggested it somehow shows the CC kids were bad. Now people have dug up her history of racist and homophobic tweets. 3/
Her tweets are only relevant to the extent that smear merchants on the left are now citing her video and word to advance their smears against the character of the CovCat kids. I won’t bother linking to either, but shows how desperate these people are to smear these kids. 3/3

Disgusting smear from the @NYDailyNews sports desk that gets almost all the facts wrong to try to extend the smear against these kids. Someone should be fired for this.

nydailynews.com/news/national/…
1) The article claims the photo is from 2015. It's not. It's from 2011. That means all the current kids it tries to smear with it were in elementary school at the time. It has literally nothing to do with them or the incident.
2) It's a blackout basketball game. Kids wear all black to the game and some paint themselves fully in black. It happens at a lot of schools. It's is not blackface. I can see why someone who has never seen it could assume the worst, but media should check.

Not only does nothing in this video contradict ANY his statement, but we went from “they surrounded him, blocked him in, taunted him, changed build the wall, and threatened him” to a bunch of kids danced/sang with him and one kid did an inappropriate gesture.

Smear merchants.
Here is his statement. Show me one word that was contradicted by that video.
It’s one thing to get things wrong. It’s another to double and triple down and continue to spread blatant lies about HS kids because you don’t like the hats they were wearing. Only seriously bad people would do that.

There is a myth going about. It is spoken on our news. It is taught in our schools. Liberal free thinking allies and racists alike tout it. It is an image that is much more a mirage of a colorblind hero in the body of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Gather round. #MLK2019 #MLK #MLK90
Let's jump right in with a quote from the "I Have A Dream" speech.

Dear White People,
Dr. King's mind was on a lot more than Black kids and White kids holding hands. Read this part: #MartinLutherKingJr on #PoliceBrutality. How #BlackLivesMatter of him...
Schools don't teach that #MartinLutherKing began the Poor People's Campaign, believed in Americans having a universal guaranteed income, and stood vehemently against the "evils" of capitalism and the Vietnam War. His dream went so exceedingly beyond "content of character".

On this #MLKDay, don't just tweet famous quotes & then go on about your day. I ask that you live in #MLK's spirit and live out his words. Work to help those that are oppressed, to help those in need. Work to eliminate racism in all its forms. Be kind. Be just. #IHaveADream
#MLK's #IHaveADream speech:
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. #MLK

50% of #CivilRights attorneys were #Jews & 50% of whites who went to Mississippi in 1964 were Jews who went to challenge #JimCrowLaws. Clark's study relied upon by the USSCt in Brown v Bd of Education case was paid for by #AmericanJewishCommittee #MLKDay (3)

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

White supremacy isn't just burning crosses and swastikas. It's also silencing, tone-policing and shaming. It's good white folks private assurances of support and public silence. It's public outcry of caged kids and private inaction. It's fast, slow, deep and shallow.
White supremacy loves #MLK I Have A Dream Speech but prefers to sweep this one under the rug. "First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate."
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice;"
