One giant difference - Martin Luther King was genuine.

Actually, MLK was an opportunist who put people, including children, in danger in order to advance his agenda. Long before that March in Birmingham in which lame duck Bull Conner set dogs and fire hoses on marchers that included small children, MLK was warned by a wide number of people of what was likely to happen. He ignored that advice and deliberately put people in danger. People like to claim that it was the spectacle of the Birmingham march that led to the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Bill. It was the support of the Republicans that led to the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Bill, in spite of Southern Democrat opposition. There was long-ongoing legislative and judicial proceedings that inevitably would have led to at least the same beneficial outcomes of desegregation. Instead, MLK's lack of care led to a spectacle that gave the impression that mob action was what got results and paved the way for even more public demonstrations with even greater destabilization of society. We have Barry Obama in the White House and misery pimps like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and religious bigots like Rev. Wright and Louis Farrakhan living off the legacy of mob action.
