3. MLK was a socialist

He was against the owners controlling everything - meaning the lives of the owned.

4. I just wish more Hillary AA supporters would've been more open to that message.

That was Bernie's message. You know, the one that marched at the same rallies as MLK. But they were encouraged to take that kind of message as an insult.....when it was Bernie saying the same thing. That free college and a$15 minimum wage and universal healthcare, together with justice reforms and police reforms, would have bought a lot of hamburgers.

But Hillary had all the reactionary simple talking points nailed down and her husband was "the first black President" after all (we'll just forget that he's the one that brought in three strikes laws and welfare "reform" that sent a lot of AA into poverty and prisons).
