"The dilemma of white America is the source and cause of the dilemma of Negro America. Just as the ambivalence of white Americans grows out of their oppressor status, the predicament of Negro Americans grows out of their oppressed status." (1967)
It is truly sad how little folks understand about the Civil Rights Movement and message. How could he have not spent the time to read and learn the tradition before beginning his silly inquisition?
And to invoke Dr. King for his cause is just so ignorant. 1/

Seriously, this was “the night before.” If you’re at the march where they’re changing “Jews will not replace us” and “Blood and soil,” you’re not a “very fine person.” Full stop.

Okay!
Then adds that there were “many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.”
