Worst part is that MLK Jr. was absolutely correct in his incisive skewering of the white moderate of the time. The letter is about white folks stalling progress and doing nothing but pretending to be allies, and condemning nonviolent protest despite supposedly agreeing with the proposed ends, not the idea that anyone who could be characterized as a moderate is, instead, an enemy. Yet instead, it's often quoted as some kind of proof that no one who isn't a radical is worth so much as a second glance.
You will always have allies less radical than you. Unfortunately, many terminally online folk prefer to see anyone not as radical as them as an enemy, and then wonder why they're always fucking outnumbered.
