        Yes, they are called useful idiots, or Democrats. They THINK they vote MLK, but they vote KKK without knowing.

        nevertheless, MLK got just the same as far less famous "unarmed" Black men. a bullet. so much for the efficacy of "personal responsibility".

        MLK was not about just a black and white issues. His ideas gave people a mechanism to use to express a United view. For instance, the #me too, Parkland students, Black lives matter etc. This MLK's trade mark and what presented to all people. Who's the cause of these issues?

        I guess that’s the only part of Dr. King work that resonates with you... I don’t expect much from @FoxNews analyst...

        That is true...broken neighbourhoods, even where there are good families militate against their advancement. Foolish ideologies and the rise of intransigent politics too has had an effect. The entire society has been complicit.
