Brace Yourselves: Racists are getting ready to praise Martin Luther King Jr.

The long-standing tradition of hypocrites pretending to admire what Martin Luther King Jr was about will soon be upon us.

Be sure to call out the foolishness.

How public attitudes of Martin Luther King Jr. have changed since the 1960s

About eight-in-ten American adults (81%) say civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. has had a positive impact on the United States.

In May 1963, only about four-in-ten Americans (41%) had a favorable opinion of King, according to a Gallup survey. That included just 16% who viewed him highly favorably, rating him +4 or +5 on a scale of -5 (most unfavorable) to +5 (most favorable). The survey was conducted shortly after King’s Birmingham Campaign, which led the Alabama city to remove signs enforcing segregation of restrooms and drinking fountains and to desegregate lunch counters.

King’s favorable ratings remained about the same in Gallup surveys conducted in 1964 and 1965. But by August 1966, only a third of Americans had a favorable view of the civil rights leader. More than six-in-ten (63%) viewed him unfavorably, including 44% who viewed him highly unfavorably

There’s gonna be a certain group who was nowhere to be seen during the original civil rights era who have now been propped up as “civil rights activists” invoking him

This is late.... racist cacs been trying to weaponize MLK's words for years. Mostly out of context and try to reapply it to something else.

He was about content of character over race, wanted the descendants of slaves and masters to come together, an anti violent Christian. He would have been appalled by the violent bigotry of modern day … y’all know the rest
