Historical revisionism is the reason he's unpopular here. Coli posters only know what they were taught in school, so they think he only "had a dream."
nikkas know nothing about the labour movement
Correct.
His labor and anti-war rhetoric is what earned him notoriety. Had he focused solely on black plight he would have been merely been ignored similarly to other black activists at the time.
Black issues are not even reported in the news cycle.
I mentioned the other day that the Westboro Baptist Church has a longstanding multi-decade track record of protesting racism and denouncing racists and aparthied. But the media does not cover this, except in instances where they can try and discredit them (like by speaking with disgruntled former members). The Westboro Baptist Church has numerous NAACP awards and humanitarian awards and recognition from black governmental bodies, black congresses, etc for fighting for black rights... but the only thing the media ever covers is when they protest gays with the
GodHatesFags signs.
The Westboro Baptist Church has represented and defended blacks rights in court against human rights violations. None of that is ever covered. Their decades of work is swept over. But if one of them uses a slur you can bet the media will be out there in droves.
Its all agenda.
There are people that the media wants you to hero worship like King, and people they want you to despise, like the Westboro Baptist Church.
Is King a hero? perhaps.
Is the WBC a villain? possibly.
But the narrative is in place to paint it so regardless of the actual facts. That should be concerning to the informed observer.
