    Which is why he was incredibly unpopular during his time?

      He was hugely popular, that’s… why they killed him?

        After decades of trying to appease white liberals, he shifted away from that reformist stance to a more radical approach. That’s why they killed him.

        Have you tried looking up his popularity numbers?

          Big-C lenses apply to epochal statistics and northern liberals don’t like being confronted with nuance. If I’m guessing your meaning correctly.

                  … you did read the thing about epochal statistics right? I think we’ve been over this already, you can’t really be arguing statistical literalism about martin luther king.

                    Was he popular during his time? Sounds like you are doing historical revisionism.
