MLK was rejected by a considerable number of black people in the 1960s. He wasn’t violent enough. He wasn’t pushing for black supremacy. The MMM (Nation of Islam) did espouse such crap and they are still around, still supported by the MSM (they LOVED the MMM rally in DC in the 90s), and Al ‘Jew Them Down’ Sharpton is a known bigot who has run for the presidency without scandal and hosted MSM programming. The Black Panthers were allied with numerous Leftist domestic terrorist groups and still agitate for hate.
The “love” of MLK is not a universal as retrocon historians claim. He said some good things, things that were and are rejected by the black community.
During that time was when a more violent black ‘MALCOLM X’ came along, with the Black Panther leftist hate machine.
