This hubris of insisting that you know, and claim superior moral connection to, what a dead man would have said or done in response to a modern phenomenon is quite possibly the most arrogant thing it is possible for human kind to do. It is one of the larger reasons why I permanently left christianity.

“All lives matter” is the smarmiest, most disingenuous erasure of a movement that malicious and clueless white people could have come up with. To apply this to Dr. King, his work, or his life is almost violent in its untruth. Fuck this parade of assholes in the ear.
