Underrepresented? That's pretty much CE's radicals go to quote when you fail to support violent riots.

Yep. The popular discourse has resulted in his most passive, agreeable quotes taking precedent over his more critical viewpoints.

It's like what people did to Bob Marley - they characterise him as a smiley pot-smoking hippie who just wanted everyone to love each other and spread peace through words, and they ignore that he was a political activist who criticised things like colonialism through his music.

Yes omg. Dumb morons thinking bigotry just naturally slinks away if you're "appropriately patient" and that you're out of order if you speak up to call it out and demand rectification.

Ill be honest Ive seen that quote posted many times on both CE and social media, but this is the first time Ive seen it posted since this all started. Thinking about it Im kinda shocked, it sure didnt pop into my mind until now.

It's insane how relevant this quote actually is considiering how much people like to pat themselves on the back about how much progress we've made in terms of racism since MLK's day.

That quote is dynamite. There's nothing wrong with what he said, but white bigots read it as "the white man is the enemy" and people who advocate extreme response read it as "if you question the means, you question the motives."

Quoting Dr. King is like quoting the Bible. It's eloquent and you can bend it to mean anything you want it to mean.
