Easily one of the most whitewashed people in US history, and I keep seeing libs using today to push for peacefully protesting the gestapo with zoomba classes and sitting on the ground.

U can remind ppl that ppl rioted in 110 cities after MLKs assassination and the civil rights act was only signed after/cuz of that

[–] buttwater@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago

To clarify, MLK was alive and campaigned for the civil rights acts of 1964 and 1965, and then the third in 1968 was, like you said, signed after/in response to his assassination

It's also worth pointing out the contributions of Mao, Ho Chi Minh, and the USSR.

Statement Supporting the American Negroes In Their Just Struggle Against Racial Discrimination by U.S. Imperialism - Mao
Lynching - Ho Chi Minh
The Klu Klux Klan - Ho Chi Minh
and more in The Black Race, a collection of essays by Ho Chi Minh.

I'm sure others can fill in the USSRs contributions. I don't have the time now.
