If all of that you said was true, the fastest way to disarm king would have been to take down the whites only signs. But it really wasn’t about fighting communism or any of that. It was about keeping segregation going and separate but equal, and the Democrat Party racism alive. Quickest way to end anything dr. King wanted to do what’s the let people sit on the bus and he where they pleased, and order a sandwich at Woolworth’s counter. But yeah, sure, it was all about fighting communism.
When King came to Chicago in ‘66 for his open housing marches, he met with Mayor Richard J. Daley and made various demands. For each demand, Daley cited a city program already in existence. Afterwards, King complained that he couldn’t get anywhere with Daley, saying: “It’s like fighting a pillow!” Finally, he admitted, “It’s not enough for Mayor Daley to be doing these things, he has to let US do them!”
