From the same book, MLK jr wrote…
“The hard truth is that neither Negro nor white has yet done enough to expect the dawn of a new day.”
And here you© are advocating for segregation all over again. Blacks are going backwards ever since they gave the reins to white democrats.
Why does it matter when he wrote it? He also wrote the quotes conservatives love to post, before some of them were even born.
Who cares?
I am connected to the past through efforts of civil rights. I recognize how important it was that people before me paved the way for me to be able to be the person I am today.

Do you know what he meant by that quote? Seems you conveniently skips some parts…
Also…Not a single politician is advocating for Jim Crow again. Stop the nonsense.

You are connected to the victimhood.
Again … from that same book you all now love to quote…
“First, it is necessary to understand that Black Power is a cry of disappointment. The Black Power slogan did not spring full grown from the head of some philosophical Zeus. It was born from the wounds of despair and disappointment. It is a cry of daily hurt and persistent pain. For centuries the Negro has been caught in the tentacles of white power. Many Negroes have given up faith in the white majority because “white power” with total control has left them empty-handed. So in reality the call for Black Power is a reaction to the failure of white power”
Thus your avatar is a cry of disappointment. You scream “I am a victim”. But in 50 years, it changed from an epiphany, a wake-up call, into a warm blanket of victimhood on which you can rely to solicit alliances from those white knights you call white liberals.
You like that book Tommy quoted? Shall we use it some more?

Reading is lacking here lol.
That quote doesn’t help you out one bit

The disappointment is in white people. It’s in your quote!

You are mistaken…
Same book.
Beneath all the satisfaction of a gratifying slogan, Black Power is a nihilistic philosophy born out of the conviction that the Negro can’t win.
Your cherry picking isn’t working…
“Black Power is a psychological reaction to the psycho- logical indoctrination that led to the creation of the perfect slave. While this reaction has often led to negative and unre- alistic responses and has frequently brought about intemper- ate words and actions, one must not overlook the positive value in calling the Negro to a new sense of manhood, to a deep feeling of racial pride and to an audacious apprecia- tion of his heritage. The Negro must be grasped by a new realization of his dignity and worth. He must stand up amid a system that still oppresses him and develop an unassailable and majestic sense of his own value. He must no longer be ashamed of being black.”

Manhood… want to discuss how the culture you© defend has caused a doubling of fatherless sons since 1965?
Manhood. Men walk forwards … not backwards. But that’s where you© keep your eyes… on the past.
If you read the book you continually quote… you would realize that MLK also focused on the past. He wasn’t a slave… but he mentions slavery several times in that book.
Does that make him less of a man because he also understands that his life in 1967 was made possible by many people before and their sacrifice?
Or did you skip over those parts?

I do not fault him for explaining how blacks ended up where they were in 1967.
Oh really?
Did someone else post this?
MLK is not you©
He explained the past . And you© were supposed to do something with that knowledge. He did his part. But you© aren’t doing yours.
What? Of course not.
However he is black… why is he allowed to focus on the past, without being less of a man?
So am I.
Again… you said talking about the past makes one less of a man. Not sure why MLK would be excluded. Hell I am not sure why anyone who talks about the civil war would be excluded. Or the American revolution. Or WW1 and 2.
Can’t talk about the past without being less of a man, right?

We almost has a dialog. But your strawman put an end to that.
You literally typed those words. Not a strawman
Very Crit denial.
I guess it only cares if one can justify one’s narrative. America needs to come together rather than segregate into colour factions.
America is not a racist country as some may try to say.
