I blame that more on white liberals, than on MLK. Identity politics is what keeps white liberals in power, and their black step-n-fetchits, as well.
I was being poetic :-) you’re right, of course, it’s the DuBois descendants combined with all the I’m-better-than-you-schlubs white liberals.
There's a myth that all too many people buy into (including some conservatives) that MLK was at heart a conservative or at least a sensible moderate who meant what he said at face value. The reality is that MLK was a leftist with close ties to Communists and the rest of the radical fringe. If he were alive today, he'd be right at home among the BLM types.
