OP didn't have to go at King to prove the point about Soviets trying to use the racial injustice in the U.S. to their advantage. Soviets were trying to capitalize on how the U.S. treated black people. Those are historical facts. They didn't have to draft speeches and do the other shit any more than they have to tell Farrakhan what to say.
All soviets had to do was point out what was going on and OFFER support. Why the fuck you think some big Civil Rights icons were welcomed by the Soviets and communists? I'm sure folks wouldn't call Angela Davis a Russian agent, correct?
These the same folks that dropped leaflets to black troops during the wars. Were the leaflets lying? All they did was speak the truth about the injustices here(not like they gave a fuck). U.S. was shook. Folks even said Brown vs Board of education was the U.S. being scared of how it looked trying to represent the free world with all the bullshit they did at home.
OP is trying to show in a clumsy manner how having common talking points with the Soviets wasn't a problem during Civil Rights. Leftists quick to point out Russian bots use black issues(which aren't lies) but act like this didn't happen before. The shit actually predates the fucking Cold War and plays on problems that already exist. The propaganda is always based on truth because of the very nature of racial injustice here.
Making MLK seem like he needed Soviets to point out injustices and write speeches is just wrong. One might also say that thinking a black person in 2020 U.S. needs a Russian bot to tell them about racial injustice is also wrong. Whether the 1930s, the 50s, or the 2010s, U.S. hated foreign powers using its dirty laundry against them. But damn if the U.S. don't make it so fucking easy.
On the real side, there are soviet leaflets that are archived calling out the police 70 years ago. Leaflets were the 'bots' of the 20th century.
