Would MLK Celebrate?
This is a serious question. Martin Luther King, Jr. became the poster child of the Civil Rights movement when he was murdered. He is remembered as advocating the Ghandi principle of non-violence. It did not work out well for him but I think, like Charlie Kirk, he may have expected it. Part of non-violence is the reality of martyrdom.
Somehow I think he is spinning in his grave. The acronym BLM would be enough for him to feel like his life had been lived in vain. His speech about content of character instead of color of skin would be viewed as accommodating racism today.
We need to keep quoting that speech. We need to smile at the racists calling anyone who disagrees with them racists and maybe respond with, “You poor deluded child.” We need to keep worshiping the God who has the standard that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile.
Forward.
