Yep...King should have filed petitions and sought permits to be recognozed as an equal citizen. You can’t tell a man he isn’t a man forever, you can’t tell a man when he gets to be a man. There will be consequences for trying to do that. America is lucky that we didn’t have a full blown race war in the 1960’s and Dr King’s leadership was one of the reasons we didn’t.
Good point. And if the Republicans had really done it right-—on both sides (not just siding with blacks because they were black and cleaning up the corruption and insisting on full legal equality) in the 1870s, the Democrats never would have been able to destroy blacks in this country the way they have.
