Today in Teddy Bear Martin Luther King
A particularly egregious example of “Martin Luther King was a public figure whose career consisted of one speech that was one sentence long that proves that his positions on civil rights were identical to John Roberts’s”:
Good Lord, this is even worse than I assumed.
The @bangordailynews reprinted King's "I Have a Dream" speech but they cut out a bunch of parts they apparently deemed too divisive.
Police brutality? Gone.
Poverty? Gone.
This is pathetic.https://t.co/E8fNCKEwQ3— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) January 15, 2023
That speech was, among many other things, plainly “divisive” (in a very good way.) Which is why they needed to take a chainsaw to it.
