It was a hundred years after the civil war. What was happening naturally was Jim CrowYes what they thought has been well documentedWhen our founding fathers wrote about "All Men are Created Equal" - that was a radical notion. So radical there was no way it could have been put into practice in 1776. It was more of a promise. That promise is a lot closer to becoming a reality thanks to MLK.
He did as much to fulfill that promise as any other founding father.
To be fair to our founders, just the leap of common men being the equals of royalty was quite an achievement. To claim blacks, women and Indians were also equal was too big a leap to expect
not really, but neither of us were there so we really don't know what the founders thought do we?
We also know how they felt about blacks, Indians and women
those views were shared by the entire world in the 1700s. The founders were unique in that they signed a document saying that all men were created equal.
MLK did some good things for the country, but he did not save it. Mostly he expedited what was happening naturally. I lived in the south in those years, I saw it happening in people's hearts and minds naturally. King just helped it happen faster and for that he gets a lot of credit.
Dr King changed that
Without firing a shot
Affirmative Action was a response to...... You can call those negroes equal but I'll be damned if I will hire oneDr King fully supported affirmative action. It was a necessary step to equalityAmen
Here comes the republicans to claim him as one of their own, happens every year.
Here comes the Liberals claiming that what King taught about being judged by your character is being upheld with programs like affirmative action, something that focuses on race.
Yes, he did. but AA is reverse discrimination being used to compensate for past discrimination. It was the wrong fix for a real problem.

Yes he did, I already agreed with you on that. All I am saying is that integration was happening on its own, he just made it happen faster and for that he gets all the credit.
but the OP is foolish when it claimed that he saved the country, that is BS.
The Irish were not discriminated against for 200 years. Their children did a pretty good job of passing for whiteAffirmative Action was a response to......

The same was said about the Irish, but they never got affirmative action.

How would you react if you were denied the vote? If people bombed your church and nobody did anything? If your father was lynched in the middle of the night? If an adult spat on your child for trying to go to school
After reading this board I would assume most would go for their guns
Dr King saved us from that. We should all be grateful

Still butt hurt after all these yearsKing was an alcoholic, whoremaster. He plagiarized his most famous speech from a republican. Had he not been assassinated he would have gone to prison for embezzlement of funds from the Ebenezer Church.
