He probably would've gotten there a lot sooner if he projected aggression like these misguided individuals.
Gandhi, from who MLK drew inspiration, was also murdered. Are you suggesting their politics were wrong based on the actions of their murderers?
People pulled the same respectability politics talk on MLK and talked about him as though he was super aggressive too. It doesn't fucking matter how respectful we act because folks are always going to treat us as disruptive whenever we talk about race in any form.
