Not many on here will watch/listen to the 2+ hours, but it is a great conversation. A couple parts blew my mind. It made me rethink some things.

Perfect is the enemy of good. Just like Washington and Jefferson were slave owners. MLK Jr. was a flawed individual. But in the big picture he was an agent of change for the treatment of black in the US, especially the South. He supported peaceful protest and he is remembered for his strength of character speech or skin color. He ended up dead for his efforts and he knew that his quest for equal treatment under the law was very risky for his health. Compare that with Maxine Waters or Whoopi Goldberg who like to pretend that instead of 2025 in the US it's 1860 or 1960 in the South.
Preachers with charisma and the women who follow
I agree that MLK was positive for the country
Jefferson did more for blacks by fucking Sally and jotting down a few words than Obama ever did.
Whataboutism? Sure.gif.
But girl you know it’s true.
Jackson lays out a compelling argument about how MLK never preached about Jesus and redemption and led the way to American blacks largely viewing themselves as a victimized class of people deserving of special treatment. There is a lot of controversial food for thought in what he says.
Well, blacks were a victimized class. And I think at the end in 1968, in spite of his character speech, he was an AA advocate. He was the leader of getting blacks at least equal treatment. Again, perfect is the enemy of good. In 1960 the Senate wouldn't have passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But four years later they did. Something changed. King certainly wasn't a Saint, but he was a huge change agent for equal rights. As a reminder, the Civil Right Act specifically excluded AA as a remedy.

Senate:It's important to note that the infamous filibuster of the bill in the Senate was primarily led by Southern Democrats, who overwhelmingly voted against the act. While both parties had members who opposed the bill, the vote breakdown demonstrates a significant bipartisan effort to pass the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964.He was a toxic male
