None of which involved blocking roads, trying to force people into a conflict when all the drivers are likely doing are going to work or even visiting loved ones.

King's tactics involved non-violent civil disobidence, like sit-ins at restaurants that refused Black people entry. The famous March on Washington that drew much attention to the issue of Civil Rights was another example.

King knew what worked and what didn't. I'm sure he would condemned blocking roads and would prefer to address the leaders of our nation for change rather than harass folks on their way home.

Really, I see nuance is as dead as disco in these situations here.

And if anyone developed negative opinions on civil rights because a protester might of disrupted society harder than MLK liked was someone too fickle to be considered a true ally.

You're at risk of being exterminated by conservatives and you're worried that activists might block too much traffic and force people to agree that you have no right to exist.
