"MLK50"


          

Just making this post since this is already a complicated week. Lip service, protests, love, sadness. Not even sure what we’re supposed to be celebrating.

this is one angle of many, which is pretty much the theme of the week. 90% of every article is very tired. Idk if its cause i live here or what.

but more to the point of the article, i grew up black so its not really a revelation that folks fold King into their rules of respectability. People do it all the time.

folks about the ideological crime of the media ignoring the king family's victory in revealing wider official factors behind his assassination.
