I'll take back the word "loved" and use "palatable". I don't want my use to trip some up when that was not the point I was trying to make.
Any and all Blacks would be unpopular if we are considering changes to or any stance that would cause a ripple into White supremacy.
The country would have been more comfortable by ignoring what was happening, both Blacks and Whites of the time.
But waves were being made, and the "lesser of evils" was King, if and only if (iff) a choice had to be made.
Any person who stuck their neck out were immediately in financial and life threatening danger. This Malcolm X message
was made before he became enlightened. He died young, not knowing the changes that were to be made.
I feel u. I guess I'm just not comfortable with how dismissive some folks are about Dr. King. I'd also say that he stuck his neck out in a big way and paid with his life for the advancement of Black life in America. It makes it all the more depressing when cats are suggesting he was "weak" etc. This isn't directed at u necessarily... but I've legit read supposed black folks calling this man a coon on this board. Shit is just fuckin ridiculous
