I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. 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, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.”
MLK said similar things. The longer I live, the more I feel this sentiment. The genocide in Gaza cemented this. Never, ever, mistake a liberal for an ally.
Brothers and sisters, I’m here to tell you that I charge the White man. I charge the White man with being the greatest murderer on earth. I charge the White man with being the greatest kidnapper on earth. There is no place in this world that that man can go and say he created peace and harmony. Everywhere he’s gone he’s created havoc. Everywhere he’s gone he’s created destruction. So I charge him. I charge him with being the greatest kidnapper on this earth. I charge him with being the greatest murderer on this earth. I charge him with being the greatest robber and enslaver on this earth. I charge the White man with being the greatest swine-eater on this earth, the greatest drunkard on this earth.

Could you imagine what they would have said about the minority genocide err I mean the War on Drugs.
That WAS a MLK quote.
Malcom X said liberals are like foxes. They look like they’re smiling but then they’ll backstab you.
Malcom X said things more like this:
Well that’s an uncomfortable truth
Facts as well
“Not all etc. etc.,” but I have a hard time disagreeing with him.
MLK said that exact thing. That quote is from his “letter from a Birmingham jail,” not anything Malcolm X said.
I feel ill inclined to someone who mistattributes such a famous quote ngl
liberalism is a disease. Read Lenin ffs.
What he described is a conservative, not a liberal.
Something tells me I’m going to be bombarded with messages that, well, are pretty much exactly what the meme is about.
*Also, a conservative masquerading as a moderate/independent/politically homeless/fiscally responsible? I’m shocked. Shocked!
