Too many things named after him! This has probably been counterproductive for SJWs. You can actually have too much of a good thing, you know!
Regarding another black leader, Malcolm X – he was a racist on par with the Nazis. Give me a break! Why should we honor him at all? Yet liberals will walk on eggshells for him, saying, “Well, at least I can understand why he was racist.” Reason being Blacks constantly told they’re ugly/dumb in the pre-’70s USA. What does that mean?
It means that a lot of racism is understandable even if it is not morally correct. I can understand racism too among both Blacks and Whites. For instance, I can understand why many Whites go racist (prison term, bullying by non-Whites), but it doesn’t justify honoring them.
The ironic thing about the MLK worship is that he is posthumously recruited to sanction things he would have opposed in life.
Example: find any Martin Luther King Avenue, Boulevard, etc. in America. It’s almost certainly a run-down area of the town where poor Black people live in a state of de facto segregation and stunted economic and educational opportunities. I don’t know if this state of affairs is a cynical joke on Black people perpetrated by the White power structure, but if so, well played, you sons of bitches.
