And every time a person says that white people (as a group) are bad he spins a little faster.
Do you not see your hypocrisy? How is racism of any type good?
Man MLK's entire political career was being an anti-white racist, shut the fuck up cracker. Just because you got the whitewashed version of him which wiped away all the stuff he actually stood for just so that liberals could pat themselves on the back that they weren't a part of it.
EDIT: He even has a famous speech about "The white moderate" how much more obvious does he have to be??
I see you have a misunderstanding there about the "white moderates" thing.
At the time white people literally held all the power (damn near anyways), so someone who was a "white moderate" was someone who was in the group of power and didn't advocate for positive change for the rights of others.
It was less a "white moderate" thing and more a "person in group of power who was moderate" thing
Those who advocated (and those who do so currently) for the positive change in terms of civil rights were (and are) considered radicals.
You even see this kind of stuff now with the "enlightened centrist" people. The people who think that we should compromise with those trying to take rights away.
I'm not misunderstanding anything. MLK's entire gig was eroding the chokehold whiteness had over society. He was being anti white racist.
And how do you know I'm white?
Because you're doing the same shit white supremacists do. You've proven by your actions that you align yourself with them.
Downvote me all you want, it doesn't change the fact that's what you're doing.
Please tell me how calling out racism is white supremacy...
I bet you can't.
He also seemed to think not all white people were bad
Go back to whatever hateful little spot you are from and realise you will never get out of it by hating people for things they haven't done.
Anti white racism is a literal neo-nazi talking point that works because white means white supremacist.
I'll say this. Your bullshit is consistent, though wrong.
You keep using racial slurs against me, yet I haven't responded in kind. I think we know who the bigot in this situation is. And it the one throwing out the accusations of white supremacy and littering their speech with hateful little slurs thinking they have a point.
You don't have a point and I'm not going to continue to engage with you. Go yell into the void
I'll leave you with this: Using hate to justify hate is how those white supremacy idiots want you to act. They want you at the throats of white people so they can justify their hate. Congratulations you fell for their shit.

Moral consistency is the only way to approach moral truth. If your morality leads you to villainy, you need to examine why that's the case.
