Do you have any examples of anti-racists pushing that position?

What do you mean? As I said, it's central to Derrick Bell's thinking: https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt9qg47z ….

So no one prominent, just a basically unknown academic.

Calling Derrick Bell "basically unknown" is a weird flex, but you do you.

yeah man I mean I just don't think Derrick Bell's decades-old ideas are really, like, especially salient in the discourse right now. obviously he's not an unknown but if you want to say "these are the ideas that are turning people off!" it's because someone went looking for them

Stop. Talking with you is impossible because you constantly move the goalposts. You asked what “extreme manifestations” MLK would disagree with. Racial realism is one of them. If you think that’s wrong, explain why. Don’t shift to a different question of “what’s turning ppl off.”

The question is are "extreme manifestations" easily separated out from putatively mainstream ones. I don't think they necessarily are, to judge by how MLK was seen in his lifetime by white public.

You can literally do this with any extreme idea. Just because MLK's idea on race were extreme and then accepted, doesn't mean the KKK's will be--or are correct. You're not arguing on the merits. I'm really shocked by the lack of logical thinking here.

I wouldn't say MLK's ideas are accepted, except on a rhetorical level.
