MLK Jr. is speaking about people who claim to be allies but insist on doing nothing and rebuking the Civil Rights movement at every turn.
Which today are moderates and fake progressives/democrats. The players changed as the game remained the same
People like that exist today and they're in DNC leadership positions.
They do. I just see it used far too often as a condemnation of 'moderates' in general, when MLK Jr. had no problem with working with people who were far more moderate than him... as long as they were willing to go forward, and not backwards or remain in place.
