I've been white all my life, and MLK has never made ME "uncomfortable".
I, and my family, and friends ALL embraced him and cheered him as one of the best things ever to happen to America.
You must be young, because if you had lived through it, you wouldn't make such broad claims. I DID live through it, and many thousands of Whit People HELPED MLK because we embraced HIM, AND his words of freedom, AND his objections to WAR and the MIC.
I only wish I had the chance to vote for HIM as president, along with thousands (Millions?) of "White People".
I believe you are painting with a Broad, and severely Misinformed Brush.
Maybe you should do some research before making such GLOBAL claims on DU.
That doesn't make you look very informed.
Can you "hear" Jimi?
I can.
