For the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. this discussion was held on Loud and Clear Sputnik International radio with Brian Becker and John Kiriakou.
A quote that confirms and gives support to the above subject: “In so many, ways our yearly celebration of Dr. King is a ritual act of disremembrance. It is a memorialization of a particular understanding of him [ without his criticisms of white supremacy, poverty, and empire ] designed to fortify the illusion of color – blindness in a country with dramatic racial inequality.” [ Democracy In Black; Eddie S. Glaude Jr. ].
