What part of MLK's quote, "Men should not be judged on the color of their skin, but on the content of their character", did this "professor" not understand?

This is BS. MLK Jr. would roll over in his grave if he knew he was being associated with DEI and BLM and all of today's bias, bigotry, and discrimination. And LGBTQ+.

They might as well say Washington, Lincoln, Reagan and Kennedy, etc. supported all of this trash.

“Why We Can’t Wait”

Because for little children and revolutionaries, everything must be right now.

Michael "Martin Luther" King's legacy is burning cities and institutional racism.

No, not really:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4210407/posts

One of the most common tendencies of human nature is that of placing responsibility on some external agency for sins we have commited or mistakes we have made. We are forever attempting to find some scapegoat on which we cast responsibility for our actions. ... And so modern man was convinced that psychology had given him explanations which relieved him of any responsibility for his actions.

...

We are all familiar with the most common agencies on which we project responsibility for our actions. First we turn to environment. How easy it is for one to affirm that one’s whole personality make-up and indeed one’s very destiny itself is determined by one’s environment... Yet such persons as this fail to realize that many individuals rise from the very lowest of environments to be some of the most noble characters of human history.

....

Another external agency on which we readily cast responsibility for our actions is heredity. There are those who would affirm that one is completely determined by heredity. How easy it is to say, “I would have been better if I had had better hereditary circumstances.”

Here again those who project total responsibility for their actions on hereditary circumstances fail to see that numerous individuals rise above such circumstances.

...

Not environment; not heredity; but personal response is the final determining factor in our lives. And herein lies our area of responsibility.
