…The past several decades have seen success in the fight for equality, but Dr. Alveda King of Alveda King Ministries says what is being pushed nowadays is equity, which is rooted in socialism. King "With equity, there's no measure or room for creativity," she notes. "Someone may have gifts and talents in one area, some in another, [but] equity means no one gets to have any more than anyone else. Everybody else is pretty uniform; everybody has the same thing."… On the other hand, equality is a principle that has helped make America what it is. …"Everyone will not excel for various reasons," King recognizes. "However, there should never be any condition that prohibits or helps someone to not excel. So, everyone comes in with exactly the same opportunity to learn and to grow" and to advance to their highest potential. Meanwhile, socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried. So a conservative black leadership network says the U.S. government is undermining Dr. Martin Luther King's dream… https://afn.net/culture/2023/01/16/big-gov-t-undermining-dr-king-s-dream/ Big government Socialism is the enemy of minority communities as well as the working class. Woke cancel culture, CRT, and 1619 are all part of an ideology of equity instead of equality. We need to keep the dream alive.
Equality means equality of opportunity. Equity means that all outcomes have to be equally mediocre at best.
MLK was regularly accused of being communist and preferred socialism to capitalism, even occasionally advocating democratic socialism. If he were alive today, you'd be slamming him as a communist. You'd also accuse him of being woke and of spreading CRT. Hell, he supported a universal basic income.
You are arguing counterfactuals bounded only by your imagination, I'll leave to you mental self-stimulation. THAT’S WHY UNIVERSITIES SHOULD STOP INCITING RACIAL BATTLE: ‘Racial battle fatigue’ afflicts minorities: psych professor.
MLK Jr. would be a Republican in todays world if he were still alive. He’d see current secular progressives as destroyers of his dream. Content of character and not color of skin…
He wrote against capitalism, supported democratic socialism, supported universal basic income, etc. And conservatives HATED him. You are trying to rewrite history. Today you'd be accusing him of being woke/CRT.
@XXJefferson#51 Would you support black people marching on Washington to collect checks to make up for historical inequalities, or would you call that socialism? Would you call it CRT? Be honest. We both know why you won't answer this basic question.
Really? Because MLK supported what I just said. Funny how it took less than a page for your narrative to fall apart.
