What did he say about blacks that was offensive?
The idea that anyone was "happy" under a system designed to dehumanize them is offensive.
JUST BECAUSE he "says" no blacks ever were harmed before HIS eyes, or no blacks ever complained to HIM, is categorically ludicrous to think that blacks were "happy" under Jim Crow.
That is bullshit, and everyone knows it.
Were "jews" "happy" in concentration camps because some ppl never heard them complain to a german?
Ridiculous.
And the fact that he tries to put that spin on a most vicious time in American history concerning blacks is offensive to many.
KING!
Since it appears you missed my question let's ask again in a font easier on the eyes.
Tell me, why wouldn't you defend someone who did nothing but recount their own life experience, it was the way he saw his world. If you have a problem with that then it's you're problem not his.
How is it any different than telling someone how your work day went last Wednesday?
