MLK was very different from BLM. I say that as a black person myself. MLK spoke about American greatness and American dignity and accorded the highest respect to the Founding Fathers, whereas BLM-aligned folks tend to trash these topics and want to tear down statues.
- micromacrofoot 5y agoBlack people were protesting these statues in the 60s too. A more realistic viewpoint is that it took nearly 60 years to gain enough power to do something about them. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/black-protestors-have-been-rallying-against-confederate-statues-generations-180977484/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/black-protestors-have... If you want to continue trashing BLM, maybe look into how MLK was received in the 60s. There are a lot of people trying to amp up myths to intentionally use MLK to disparage BLM. Make sure you're not unintentionally getting caught up in that.
