“I didn't march so someone could use the rich legacy of the civil rights movement as a weapon to punish whites.”

Always a pleasure to hear Mr. Woodson’s commentary on FOX shows.
Mr Woodson is a great man.
Phil Lawler has a great take on Biden’s statement ““Racism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, they’re all connected..” at the signing of the (Dis)Respect for Marriage act; https://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/biden-denounces-hate-and-catholic-teaching/
The Church has NEVER opposed marriage between a baptized man and woman of any race.
It seems to me that the thing that doesn’t get talked about is that the seeds of this were present in the civil rights movement from the jump.
Conservatives like to say MLK Jr. was a Republican. To be sure, his core message of “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” is more consistent with conservative republicanism, I have seen no evidence of his being republican. And no, his niece Alveda’s claim he was doesn’t count. In fact, this 1956 letter to a Miss Sloan, he says he usually voted democrat.

Assuming the letter’s authentic (I see no reason to doubt it’s authenticity) King was actually the opposite. Conservatives who make the “MLK was republican” need to not only stop saying that but retract it. Stick to demonstrating King’s “not by the color of their skin” as being more consistent with conservativism.
Looking at the direction MLK was going toward the end of his life, it would seem that one need look no further than Jesse Jackson to see what side MLK would have wound up on had he lived to be an older man.
But since James Earl Ray was in the right place at the right time, we’ll never know for sure.
Other than Bayard Rustin, I’m not aware of anyone in King’s camarilla who opposed the race patronage regime under construction after 1968, nor did the leadership of any of the allied organizations. Not Jack Greenberg, not Roy Wilkins, not Whitney Young (SNCC was in the process of dissolution in 1968 and CORE would be taken over by the crooked Roy Innis the following year).
