I am being told that it is insensitive or even racist to call out the violent or destructive protestors that riot, loot, commit arson, attack others violently. Because somehow that takes attention away from the peaceful protests more so than the violent protestors themselves.
Has mainstream society denounced MLK's values of insisting upon peaceful non-violent, never bitter, but always moving forward protests? MLK would call out those who preached the opposite of non-violence.
If his protest ideas are dated, should we remove MLK day and his statues? After all, we are attacking historical figures and removing their statues around the world now (look at the UK) and MLK was a blatant sexist even by his own day's standards.

Yes, Fentanyl George the pregnant Hispanic robber is the new hero of the 0.000000000000001% BLM crowd.

Who told you that? I hope your not on Social media because you have no idea who your talking too, might be a Chinese guy in Beijing yanking you around.
I can speak for myself and the responses from black folk that I know and responses from this forum. I don’t hear or see post of support for looters. I see them for protest but not looters.
What is interesting is the looters seems to have gotten tired of looting, but the lawful protest are not slowing down. So it seems to be sorting itself out.
Huh, maybe try turning off Faux News once in a while.
What we are seeing across the country is largely MLK's teachings in practice: mostly peaceful protests and in this case the protests are even more multi-racial than they were in King's day.
No, I don't think MLK is irrelevant, even in our current age of stupidity and black supremacy. BLM is all trendy right now-but as they return to their traditions of supporting violent criminals, demanding the submission of all other races, committing acts of violence and burning their own neighborhoods, the Klan with a Tan will be as ignored as the other Klan once again.
MLK was for protesting peacefully, for sure.
That was also 50 years ago. Now, here is where we have to do some logical thinking. Does it not seem like the guy who marched for racial equality 50 years ago might think it's about time to try something different now that people still aren't seeing that equality?
Remember. MLK JR DID protest peacefully, and he was MURDERED for it.
If you think along those lines, it kinda changes the discussion a little, don't it?
MLK wasn't radical and violent enough for today's Communist enablers.
The "commie" card was played back then as well. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover was personally hostile toward King believing that the civil rights leader was influenced by Communists.
