Radically Speaking Quotes

“We whitewash MLK - how fittingly absurd.
I mean, we white-wash
everything.

We have to stop revering MLK for the wrong reasons,
sanitized,
domesticated,
like Santa Claus
and Jesus Christ.

He was vehemently anti-racism, anti-oppression,
anti-war, anti-materialism,
pro-union, pro-social-services, anti-capitalism.
Yes.
MLK believed capitalism had outlived its usefulness
and advocated democratic socialism.”
― Shellen Lubin

“MLK was not generally revered during his lifetime;
He was decried and vilified by the mainstream (white) media.
MLK had Cassandra vision,
and was unstoppable even in death.
Less stoppable in death.

For MLK Day today,
please let's read his most challenging proclamations
and let us revere him for them.”
― Shellen Lubin
