Funny, I don't recall Rev. King using such terms as 'white trash'. Seems like that would be counter to everything he preached. But don't let that slow you down.
Almost every racial position held by liberals is counter to what mlk preached and they have zero consequences for burying his legacy. So far.
But, but, but... I thought the left was supposed to be better than Trump? I guess as long as someone lowers the bar the left will continue to figure out a way to get under it.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor 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 can’t agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time; and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”
We must tell our white brothers that the few Uncle Toms who will sell their souls for a mess of economic pottage do not speak for the Negro.
We must also realize that privileged groups never give up their privileges voluntarily. If we are victimized with the feeling that we can sit down comfortably by the wayside and wait for the white man to voluntarily give us our justly deserved freedom, we will be the victims of a dangerous illusion, which can only end up in tragic disillusion.
I had also learned that the inseparable twin of racial injustice was economic injustice. Although I came from a home of economic security and relative comfort, I could never get out of my mind the economic insecurity of many of my playmates and the tragic poverty of those living around me.
I am now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective — the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income.
In their relations with Negroes, white people discovered that they had rejected the very center of their own ethical professions. They could not face the triumph of their lesser instincts and simultaneously have peace within. And so, to gain it, they rationalized—insisting that the unfortunate Negro, being less than human, deserved and even enjoyed second class status.
They argued that his inferior social, economic and political position was good for him. He was incapable of advancing beyond a fixed position and would therefore be happier if encouraged not to attempt the impossible. He is subjugated by a superior people with an advanced way of life. The “master race” will be able to civilize him to a limited degree, if only he will be true to his inferior nature and stay in his place.
White men soon came to forget that the Southern social culture and all its institutions had been organized to perpetuate this rationalization. They observed a caste system and quickly were conditioned to believe that its social results, which they had created, actually reflected the Negro’s innate and true nature.
In the midst of blatant injustices inflicted upon the Negro, I have watched white churches stand on the sidelines and merely mouth pious irrelevancies and sanctimonious trivialities.
Time to put CowboyUp and Clinton Scott in the trash can. CowboyUp is full of hate
It must suck to live in a world where there's been no racial progress since the day those words were uttered.
I personally do not and consider myself both fortunate and in the company of about 98% of America.

Shall I explain the difference between outcomes and attitudes or prejudices?
I say go for it. Reparations given to any group would speed the process of separating those that can prosper with a boost from those that never would.

Which current institutions are keeping blacks down? If none currently what is a rational timeline for us to consider that the “my race keeps me poor” hurdle should be jumped? 50 more years? 250?
Ok education. How are poor blacks treated differently than poor whites or poor native Americans or poor Asians? Systematically speaking of course.
One like, that’s it.
How are they being held down? Convince me it’s a race thing and not a socioeconomic thing.

How are poor black kids less advantaged than poor kids of any other race as far as how the government, on any level, treats the funding and quality of their school?
None of that is necessary for the institution of education to be "keeping blacks down."
I’ve never seen someone so adamant to not make any point.
Blacks are poorer than whites > education for poor people in the US isn't as good as it is for rich people > a good education is a key way to escape poverty > Blacks stay poorer than whites. The institution of education in America holds down blacks.
What a steaming pile of nonsensical crap trying to pass correlation off as causation. Do people you know fall for this crap or do you only try it here? So much effort put into this and that’s your final argument? That’s what you are going with? What a fraud.
After considering all your points, I am going to have to disagree. Not crap. Not Fraud. But you should know that I still consider you a fair arbiter on racial issues.
Mentally replace the first two > with periods. Replace the third > with ". Therefore"
And there it is. Just no game beyond your first move, and then straight to smarm.
If you are going to use the word "smarm" so often you should look up the definition
