Well, you know, that MLK, he just went too far, you know. I mean, white America was going to GET AROUND to civil rights, eventually right? He really didnāt have to go encouraging suchā¦ violence!

Ya know, itās possible to hold the two ideas in your head at the same time that:

-and-
ā¢ Not every unfortunate thing that happens to a non-white person is racist.
