Jo MiranI share the same one every year.
You left out the best part
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate…
dnubNot American so not very familiar with MLK quotes but if that 1 is true it probes that even then inaction was just as bad has it is today. Ppl see really awful shit happen but as long it’s not with them it’s alright.. “ICE is bothering non whites? I’m white and too occupied so I won’t/can’t do a thing..”

“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing,” - John Stuart Mill, 1867
Unfortunately, the problem is ancient. Probably as old as humanity itself. People often want to think if they just keep their heads down and wait it out it’ll get better, but that only ever happens because a large number of OTHER people are fighting to make it better.
Hominine“The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.”
American dream is dead. MLK’s dream never even was a reality.
I don’t think his quote was referring to what people call the American Dream. He was referring to his own dream of ending segregation and racism.
I refer to both of those “dreams” in my message.
Eh. Either way, America CAN change, acting like having a dream is naive because it won’t come true is stupid. With that attitude it obviously won’t come to, but if enough people believe things can change. No one thought the Civil Rights Act would ever pass and it still did.
