The real Dr. King:

"With Selma and the voting rights bill one era of our struggle came to a close and a new era came into being. Now our struggle is for genuine equality, which means economic equality. For we know now that it isn’t enough to integrate lunch counters. 1/
2/ "What does it profit a man to be able to eat at an integrated lunch counter if he doesn’t earn enough money to buy a hamburger and a cup of coffee? What does it profit a man to be able to eat at the swankiest integrated restaurant when he doesn’t earn enough money to take
3/ "his wife out to dine? What does it profit one to have access to the hotels of our city and the motels of our highway when we don’t earn enough money to take our family on a vacation? What does it profit one to be able to attend an integrated school when he doesn’t earn

Honestly, is @ostrachan lying or just too ignorant to be writing books on this?

This is his "definition" of "Critical Race Theory." Basically a string of false claims and then what is really MLK's "solution," hahaha. 1/ Image
2/ CRT scholars do not say that ONLY White people can be racist. Here are co-founders of CRT, Charles Lawrence III on the left and Delgado & Stefancic on the right: ImageImage
3/ And had a mentioned a CRT solution, or an MLK solution? Let's see: ImageImageImageImage

Tell me if this sounds familiar:

"[R]acial dog whistling ... involves ... three basic moves: a punch that jabs race into the conversation through thinly veiled references to threatening nonwhites, for instance to welfare cheats or illegal aliens; a parry that slaps away 1/
2/ "charges of racial pandering, often by emphasizing the lack of any direct reference to a racial group or any use of an epithet; and finally a kick that savages the critic for opportunistically alleging racial victimization. The complex jujitsu of racial dog whistling lies at
