In honor of MLK, I wanted to share this quote from Untamed by Glennon Doyle. “I imagined myself to be the kind of white person who would have stood with Dr. King because I respect him now. Close to 90 percent of white Americans approve of Dr. King today. Yet while he was alive and demanding change, only about 30 percent approved of him—the same rate of white Americans who approve of Colin Kaepernick today. So, if I want to know how I’d have felt about Dr. King back then, I can’t ask myself how I feel about him now; instead I have to ask myself: How do I feel about Kaepernick now? If I want to know how I’d have felt about the Freedom Riders back then, I can’t ask myself how I feel about them now; instead, I have to ask myself: How do I feel about Black Lives Matter now? If I want to know how I’d have shown up in the last civil rights era, I have to ask myself: How am I showing up today, in this civil rights era?”

Nice quote, thanks. I well remember how reviled he was in his time. In modern times right here on this forum I witnessed someone revile Kaep for months for the #TakeAKnee thing. Yet on Dr. King's holiday she posted quotes from him as though she isn't a racist who wants people of color to just sit down and STFU.

It's a shame that so many blacks and their white enablers go against the words of MLK. He wanted blacks to be judged by the content of their character not their skin color yet programs exist where the latter is used in order to benefit those that have no character. Strange how those that say skin color shouldn't be used have no problem using it to their benefit when character doesn't exist.
If I may ask, what does standing with #BLM mean to you? Because it’s become a thing (in the Bay Area at least) that (white) people will put #BLM signs in their yard and will post support for #BLM on social media and then do nothing else. And you have black people saying while that’s nice and all it’s easy for you (white people) to do because it changes nothing in your life.
We as individuals can only do so much of course but do you find yourself doing anything different in your life to support #BLM?

MLK said he hoped there would be a day when blacks were judged by the content of their character. What does Colin Kaepernicks behavior tell us about his character? He was paid millions of dollars to play a children's game but all the while referring to the people he would call if he was in danger, pigs.

Oh, is this the Aunt Bea's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Show? lol
The only thing "different" I do is debate with RW morons who insist that BLM is violent, Marxist, antifa, blah blah blah by showing that they are wrong. Other than that I gift my g-kids with books and toys and dolls that don't favor white characters over non-white characters. And I treat my white g-kids the same as my mixed-race g-kids who self-identify as black. </virtue-signaling> lol

MLK is the oposite of BLM
MLK stood for empowerment of individuals of all colors. BLM is factionalized along skin color
