[quote=Anonymous]The article you posted doesn’t fully support your point. It indicates that when his message was one of peaceful non-violent resistance to racism, his approval rating was about 50%. But when he moved to advocating a larger platform of Socio-economic equality (labor rights, government assistance to the poor, and opposition to the Vietnam War), his approval rating dropped to 25%. Part of the problem is that we’ve frozen him in time in 1963 and the I Have a Dream speech. How many people remember him as a labor activist and anti-war activist? When you see the blistering nastiness with which people reference unions on this forum, or remember how John Kerry (a veteran!) got raked over the coals for his eventual opposition to the Vietname War....it’s clear that Americans are largely supportive of formal equality but much less omfortable with taking actions to actively dismantle racism and systems of oppression.[/quote]
