The oligarchs cling to MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech—because dreams aren’t a threat.
They hide this—we will have to pay the bill while they keep TAKING and distracting us with HATE for each other so that we won’t notice.
They don’t want you to know about Martin Luther King’s “One Penny” speech…

They’re redistributing economic power alright…to themselves 😡
We get the literally white-washed version of MLK’s legacy, because that’s what they can manipulate.
You can't see them, track their rise, gauge or monitor them or what they entail. They overcome barriers and cross seas.
Then, when they join with the dreams of others, they bring change.
He says the quiet part out loud
It gives them an excuse to whitewash his legacy, to control the narrative & bury the things he stood for that are inconvenient to the 1%.

If it was worth saying then, it’s worth repeating today.
They don’t know any other thing King said except that line.
They certainly don’t know and wouldn’t agree with the sentiment of all labor having dignity, which is my favorite.

The conservatives who claim to lionize King - as they insist on ignoring his advocacy for ecnomic justice and voting rights - are exactly the same ones who, when he was alive, called him a "communist" and an "outside agitator".
it gave me chillbumps..still does..just remembering it.
