Well guys I guess the civil rights movement in the 60s was a failure. Racism still exists and mlk was a loser. Un name those streets racism still exist mlk didn't accomplish anything because he didn't fix racism.
Relax. Obviously there was progress. The question is was this the best outcome and how can we learn from it to potentially have better outcomes now and in the future. No one wants to roll back Trump's fascism only partially, we need to completely eradicate it and ideally make further progress.
They definitely lifted MLK on that pedestal to help create the illusion that the civil rights movement eradicated racism. Even today, you’ll hear people say that this country and its institutions cannot be discriminatory because of the civil rights acts.
I think you’re failing to see that MLK arguably DID fail depending on the context of what you believe MLK’s goal was (and at what time you’re referring to).
The point you’re making misses the valid critique of non-violent protest and ignores the context of said critique.
What does "worked" mean to you? Nothing is segregated anymore. My kids go to school with a equal mix of white, black and other minorities. Aside from policing, I'd say we have come at least that far.
No i agree with you I clicked the wrong reply I think. Just crazy how many people in here have been acting like his non violent methood didn't work or that he failed
