When did the mlk was a c00n talk start.

[Lotsford]

MLK was looking deeper than economics. He was looking out for rights BY LAW and the safety for black people. He merely used Christianity as an inside tool to communicate with black people in America. Economics is just one aspect of POWER.

Economic power is the most useful and valuable form of power black Americans can have. This is what allows you to build institutions, feed your people, be self sustaining, and resist gentrification.

Safety wasn't King's concern. He was anti self defense. Until his house got bombed and he applied for a firearm from the Sheriff. Which he was denied.

Yeah man, MLK was a total c00n You really have to stop believing White's narration of MLK. During his existence he was more hated than beloved.








He was also a threat because of his anti-war stance and economics view.

"I fear I may have integrated my people into a burning house." -MLK

This is the most correct thing he said in his lifetime.



Brother Malcolm explains why people would call MLK a c00n. Start at 9:45 but I'd suggest you listen to the whole thing. (Entire speech is called "Message to the Grassroots.")

This rhetoric didn't start in the 90's it has been around since MLK has been around.

For the people who don't know or don't care to know.....I think you should post the year Malcolm X said that, and how his views evolved before his death.

In this modern era, you know some don't understand the concept of context.

MLK was doing his best to make America a socialist nation and wanted to make a better version of FDR Second bill of rights where black folk would get proper representation. He was also for black owned businesses for if that Second bill of Rights didn't get through.

When you got somebody like Malcolm spitting ether, it’s gonna make somebody like MLK look soft. Especially about dreaming about black boys holding hands with demonic CACs. What kind of sick shyt is that. CACs hosing is down with water hoses for wanting to drink out a water fountain and you are trying to get them to love you? fukk them CACs.... fukk with your own kind, and prepare to crack CAC heads when the funk pops

 

[generic-username]

I think it was because he wanted to "hold hands with white people", while Malcolm X was like fukk these white people.

He definitely said things about wealth distribution and was anti-Vietnam war. Economic empowerment wasn't even on his radar. His solution to economic deprivation of black people was universal basic income and government intervention on the matter.

You can't be that gungho on integration and not realize how black wealth will hemorrhage from the black business districts we had at the time (some of which died because of black flight after integration became "reality.") Or maybe he genuinely thought the government would take care of us. Who knows.

That opinion has always existed among the more radical and militant black leaders. It gets repeated today by the fake radicals and militants...

It's crazy he would say that considering king was actually out in the streets marching getting arrrested and beat up by cops for his cause. While I can't find any footage of malcom with feet on the ground. but MLK is the soft one.

letting the white man beat on you is for the cause

 

[Luke Cage]

letting the white man beat on you is for the cause

I'm just saying he actually did something besides talk. and was successful in getting new legislation drafted and adopted.
X on the other hand inspired alot of people like King but... what else? What actions did he physically perform? and What actual change directly resulted from said actions?

 

[Uncle Hotep]

But to answer the OP....probably always been a segment that saw MLK a bit differently then how he is portrayed...

There was a huge 90's wave of Malcolm X in mainstream black america. Alot of us thought MLK was soft.

The issue with this is that those comments were fueled with emotion verse actual logic.

MLK was nothing like a c00n. Whether you felt his decisions were best for blacks is the real “debate”. The c00n thing came from people who had no solution or people who wanted to be entertaining.

Elijah Muhammad actually met with MLK and I believe shortly after that is when MLKs views “changed” as people say.

Doing what you feel is best for your people is not the same as selling out. A sell out is someone who doesnt care about the well being of their people. MLK whether you agree or dont was doing what he felt was best at the time.

 

[Da King]

MLK was no Malcolm X, but nikka wasn't a c00n

 

[IWunD3r]

MLK was an agent... it’s an hour and a half but listen...

kill your self ya bish
