MLK being shot is entirely irrelevant. His mission succeeded, and because blacks knew when to quit, the Civil Rights Act still stands. Nobody repealed it a generation later.

The gays get it. How often do you hear about gay-anything in the news anymore besides the occasional wedding cake drama? They wanted equality. They got it. Nobody's challenging DOMA. Nobody's trying to outlaw sodomy.

Women have been so aggressive in their politicking and rhetoric they've made themselves a threat to the male establishment. How the fuck did they lose the right to abortion? Like a bitter ex-spouse, they weaponized the offspring of Men--the Internet--against the patriarchy. Can't have that. The establishment turned their own biology against them, and now they're being muted too.

The trannies should learn from the blacks and gays before it's too late. After women, they're next.

I assume you meant that the other way: DOMA was the law that blocked gay marriage, which the SCOTUS overturned. You meant "Nobody's trying to reinstitute DOMA."

And, yes, they are. Obergefell V. Hodges is in the crosshairs; overturning it was avowedly the goal of the people who fought hard to get this slate of Supreme Court Justices nominated to the bench, right next to overturning Roe v. Wade.

MLK did not succeed in his mission, that’s just a blatant lie. He won a few battles, and once he got close to real progress he was killed. No one “knew when to quit” they were decapitated and beaten into submission.

Honestly I think you have only a cursory understanding of MLKs life and mission, otherwise you wouldn’t be saying such ignorant things and trying to make him some example of why you shouldn’t be too “uppity” if you want “equality”.

You’re acting like he got tea with Hoover after they signed the civil rights act together, like it wasn’t a brutal conflict marred by violence, a full on non violent revolution, that was snuffed out.
