        Came back to read over the newer posts here and holy shit does hearing that take infuriate me, considering the settlers never seem to like when you start bringing up the span of time between the I Have A Dream speech, and his eventual assassination. That span of time where he started listening to the likes of brothers el-Shabazz and Ture. That span of time that spawned the quote “in many regards, the dream that I’d had has become a nightmare”. That span of time where Dr. King started understanding that… Non-violent action, while it got in the papers, would not be enough to unravel the Gordian knot of settlerdom.

        Then he caught a bullet for it. But surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre, “MLK Jr. would’ve hated wokeism”. Ohhhhhhhkay.
