I see MLK Jr. is back on the conservative train this morning.
Detroit was such a success.
It’s amazing what happens to cities built on a single industry when free market forces disrupt that industry.

King’s dream went far beyond that. And conservatives would be rightfully terrified if they really understood what he wanted.
Conservatives pick that one line out of one speech. It’s like everyone forgets about his promotion of affirmative action, his desire for wealth distribution (to both poor blacks and poor whites), housing reform, pro labor stances, among other things that the right is opposed to and most of which I don’t even support.

San Francisco.
yep, San Francisco is rotting because literally so many people want to live and work there that they can’t all find housing, driving home prices through the roof.
Just like Detroit.

I found the link above to be interesting.
On a separate note… not directly related to the link…
One needs to separate the goals and the means to those goals in MLKJR’s vision. I think his goal was the the famous “dream”. The fact that he may have believed that certain specific actions by the government were the means to the end goal is a separable issue. What this country DID do to reduce the racial divide would have pleased MLKJR. A redistribution of wealth did in fact occur. So we did it. Yet, it has not produced what MLKJR envisioned.
Why? Because no one values what they dont work for. No one can develop the inner strength to achieve when taking handouts is easier. And Democrats know this. Democrats NEED TO KEEP THE BLACK MAN DOWN in order to get votes. One of the Democrats’ worst nightmares is a successful black community. Such communities cant be bound by the economic chains that Democrats use to oppress black people.
If MLKJR were alive today, he would see the Democrat trickery for what it is and break from it, eliminating the victimhood that it encourages. It would be day one of a hundred year struggle to eliminate black oppression in the US.
Sounds like social cancer. Is that your idea of utopia?
He had a dream that many conservatives embrace. His methods of achieving that dream are of secondary importance in assessing his value as a social warrior.
high paying jobs in cutting edge fields? Yeah sounds pretty good. Just gotta build some houses and more actively manage the market.
MLK was a 4 at best. woof.
Apparently not high enough. Everything has a price… even scarce housing. Those with “high pay” can’t seem to afford the price.
So, more of what’s been happening there for decades. Do the same thing, expect different results. That makes sense.
King was an outspoken Socialist.
King was an out spoken socialist, I doubt any Republican would want to live in his Dream of America.
no Democrat have advocated violence.
So am I, when my bank account gets low
His dream ("…content of their character")is different than his eventual recommended means to achieve his dream (socialism).
We embrace his dream but believe there are better and more effective methods of achieving that dream. You are reading off the narrative’s teleprompter because you fear that a conservative embrace of MLKJR will weaken your tired old claim that conservatives hate black people.
The irony of red hatters claiming they share an ideology with Dr. King when they worship a man who literally judged women by their attractiveness for a living.
