    MLK is just a blank slate for liberals to launder feelings of righteousness towards whatever contemporary position they need to support. Which conveniently never includes liberation movements, poverty alleviation, or civil rights.

    The white moderate is puppeteering the foggy memory of MLK into serving oppression. Any figure they can't do that with will get the Stalin treatment.
