Martin Luther King Jr. and Frederick Douglass were both dedicated to bringing about an America that was colorblind, Andre Archie says, but their work is being undermined.
Obviously, this is the height of foolishness, in my opinion.

Dr. King very much was a conservative. Baffled you would think otherwise. He was a preacher in the South in the 1960s. If you had read any of his writings, he was very much a conservative man.
Now would he be on the side of the Republican party? Most likely not. His father was a proud Republican but King avoided association with any party. He wanted the ability to call out both sides.

And?
He was a socialist, and anti capitalist. Which is antithetical to conservativism, which licks the boot of capitalism.
He was not an anti-capitalist. lol. He clearly says he’s a social democracy. That’s a system based on capitalism that has a strong safety social net. Sweden is an example of a social democracy. It’s a capitalism.
And no once again you’re rambling about things you don’t understand. Conservatism and capitalism are different things. One is a political belief system and the other is an economic system.
You sound so silly when you talk about licking boots. It’s some weird fetish you commies have.
“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.”
I am aware. However you don’t seem aware that conservatism specifies that capitalism is the only valid economic system.
No sillier than you, someone who can’t even read basic quotes and understand their meaning.
A guy straight up calls capitalism evil and you say they aren’t anti capitalist.
I’m not a communist.
Yet he says he supports capitalism. You know MLK wasn’t an economist, right? Just like you, he didn’t really understand what he was advocating for.
Really you have a cite for that? News to me.
Adults understand the context. I get you like everything in sound bites but it ignores the true intent of the speaker. MLK was advocating for a more just society. He wasn’t asking to end capitalism, but to make sure everyone was enjoying the American dream. More specifically he was advocating for black people who didn’t have the economic advantages of white people at the time. Dr. King was a religious man but he was not an economist. What he is describing is something more akin to Sweden which actually ranks more capitalist than America.
Funny how that doesn’t apply to MLK but somehow does apply to me.
It does apply to mlk. He clearly states he’s a social democrat. That’s capitalism.
