L'arresto di #MartinLutherKing
Oggi per @larepubblica_it

I've often heard #Republicans trying to claim #CivilRights icon #MartinLutherKing/#MLK as one of their own... citing "Negroes" fleeing Deep South anti-Civil Rights Dixiecrats.
At the same time #JFK & #LBJ were advancing Civil Rights, #Republicans started courting the Deep South over to their side where they remain to this day.
MLK Jr famously warned against voting for Barry Goldwater and endorsed Kennedy:
Picked these few fragments from #ihaveadream of #martinlutherking
( delivered 28 August 1963 #Washington #usa ):
"We cannot walk alone."
"We cannot turn back."
"No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.""
That time #mlk spoke for #black people's rights. Today the scope is wider.
#decent humans standing #indivisible , helping each other - this is what we need! 🤗

Marie Le Pen compared herself with Martin Luther King.
An extreme right-wing politician compared herself with one of the most important individuals who demonstrated friendly against racism and social unfairness.
Why are extreme right-wing people so?
