And so it begins.
American blacks that grew up in the shadow of MLKjr are becoming aware that the “new generation” wants to supplant MLKjr with a new civil rights hero that:
(1) Believes that MLKjr did not go far enough to help the black society
(2) Denies the importance of “Boomer Blacks” in protecting the gains of MLKjr.
Those that lived the struggle and wrote its history.
(3) Wants to protect the Democrat Party-of-Free-Shit (Plantation Mentality)

More blacks of our generation will stand up in the days to come and push back against this re-writing of history - THEIR history of civil rights gains.
Their struggle against REAL oppression was not fought in vain, but truly...in pain.
THEIR place in history will not be erased or cancelled.

It comes down to this with HW.
His parents and he, himself (born 1962), worked hard to get where he is at.
He was gifted with superior athleticism that allowed him to attend a Southern University, have a career in the NFL and then move into the “capital market arena”.
BECAUSE of MLKjr.
Because of his peer-group’s fight for equality.
Because of his parents fight for equality in their children’s lifetime.

In all this, blacks have to realize that THEIR history, good and bad, is being erased also by a bunch of white liberal elites.
