Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.

    I see you have a misunderstanding there about the “white moderates” thing.

    At the time white people literally held all the power (damn near anyways), so someone who was a “white moderate” was someone who was in the group of power and didn’t advocate for positive change for the rights of others.

    It was less a “white moderate” thing and more a “person in group of power who was moderate” thing

    Those who advocated (and those who do so currently) for the positive change in terms of civil rights were (and are) considered radicals.

    You even see this kind of stuff now with the “enlightened centrist” people. The people who think that we should compromise with those trying to take rights away.

      I’m not misunderstanding anything. MLK’s entire gig was eroding the chokehold whiteness had over society. He was being anti white racist.
