Comment on Author Calls for Return to Martin Luther King Jr. and Frederick Douglass’ Vision of Colorblindness

Dr. King very much was a conservative. Baffled you would think otherwise. He was a preacher in the South in the 1960s. If you had read any of his writings, he was very much a conservative man.
Now would he be on the side of the Republican party? Most likely not. His father was a proud Republican but King avoided association with any party. He wanted the ability to call out both sides.

He was a socialist, and anti capitalist. Which is antithetical to conservativism, which licks the boot of capitalism.

He was not an anti-capitalist. lol. He clearly says he’s a social democracy. That’s a system based on capitalism that has a strong safety social net. Sweden is an example of a social democracy. It’s a capitalism.
And no once again you’re rambling about things you don’t understand. Conservatism and capitalism are different things. One is a political belief system and the other is an economic system.
You sound so silly when you talk about licking boots. It’s some weird fetish you commies have.
