Op-Ed: King’s Dream was Rooted in Analysis of Systemic Racism - InDepthNH.org
At a pro-HB 544 rally held at the State House in April, one person reportedly carried a sign reading, “Teach MLK not CRT.”

The reason why ACCURATELY recounting history and providing CONTEXT triggers the conservative so much is because they have invested a great deal into telling themselves an ultra-nationalist fairy tale....them freaking out over CRT is exhibit #A thru MLK....in other words, Martin Luther King was one of the early architects of critical race theory....In fact, the legal scholars who crafted CRT; drew much of their work from MLK's writings....his last book "Where Do We Go From Here" -- MLK literally summarizes CRT....
Example #1 -- CRT's main tenet is the fact that much of America's legal framework and jurisprudence was predicated on white supremacy/racism.....King agreed.....he wrote about it....
Now find the lie in what he said?? Is MLK a Marxist now??.
Example #2 -- Another core tenet of CRT is to push back against the many long running false narratives that became mainstream...King agreed.....he wrote about it....
Example #3.....Another tenet of CRT is the critique of neo-liberalism/white moderates, so-called liberal clergy, etc....
King agreed.....he wrote about it....
Example #4 -- The reactionary claim that accurately teaching history will only make whites hate themselves or feel like they are evil...which is ludicrous....however, we know for a FACT that black children were definitely taught to hate themselves..I repeat...kids were LITERALLY taught to hate themselves...in schools..
King agreed.....he wrote about it....
So for those who think accurately recounting the past instead of a nationalist fairy tale means that folks are trying to teach you that you are all racist or evil.....MLK wrote about that too...
So yea.....MLK was one of the original architects of CRT....so please stop watering him down and condensing him into your box when you haven't read a single book of his.....class dismissed....
