My grandfather was a white male police captain during the civil rights troubles in Birmingham, AL. He also gave King the notebook he would use to write Letter from the Birmingham Jail. His quiet support of King literally enabled King's actions in more ways than I can relate.
To divide a people based on skin color is wrong. King, and my grandfather, were not lovers of one skin color over another; they were lovers of respect. It is respect that will break the chains anywhere they are found.

He genuinely just said a policemans actions during the Civil Rights era enabled MLK. You can't make this up.
And then to talk about respect in the context of race, when black people are routinely disrespected by individuals, institutions and the state in America.

Did you just try to say that MLK and his jailer did the same amount of good for Civil Rights????
