How things have changed. Martin Luther King Jr. preached that race shouldn't matter; that the color of one's skin shouldn't matter. He preached that people should be judged by their nature and character rather than how they looked.
Today, progressive woke leadership in the Black community, as indicated by Critical Race Theory (CRT), teach us that not only does race matter, but that it is primary, or critical, in understanding the nature of an individual. CRT insists that White folks are inherently oppressors and no matter how hard they may try, they cannot free themselves of this basic nature. It is for this reason that they are inferior to People of Color. In this regard, CRT advocates are closer to the teachings of Elijah Muhammad, the leader of "Black Muslims," than they are to Martin Luther King Jr.
So I guess we are back to judging people on the basis of their race again, only instead of People of Color being inferior, it is now White folks who are inferior.
In MLK Jr's day, he was considered somewhat of a troublemaker by White society. I find it somewhat amusing that today, we are likely to hear White folk quoting MLK Jr. ( judge not by the color of one's skin, but by the content of one's character) to defend themselves against proponents of CRT. How things have changed.
