He WAS painted as a crazy communist who wanted to destroy the country. Despite his having preached against communism.

The same thing happened to Nelson Mandela in South Africa, and almost every civil rights activist

I'm just trying to show that Fox News and other right-wing media will call anyone who wishes to change the status quo a communist

Anything that protects the victims of power from might making right is communism.

BLM The rioting place that doesn't care about black lives or they would stop funding abortion which is the top killer of black people by the way

If, by 'biggest killer of black people', you mean 'embryos, which are just small cell clusters, conceived by black mothers', then yeah, sure. Only about 10-20% of abortions happen when the baby even resembles a human, and those are almost always for medical reasons. Studies have found that over 93% of all BLM protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful.

The truth is that the news hates covering protests, because they have no one leader, and take ages, so they will always gravitate towards any violence that is happening.

I never said all were peaceful, but I'm saying that BLM is largely peaceful, but is wrongly labelled as violent by right-wing media, much like MLK and the civil rights movement. It's a protest. There will always be violence. That is inevitable. But if you are over 90% non-violent, that is surprisingly good.

But they don't paint him that way 'cause he was actually peaceful & actually achieved shit. BLM does f**king nothing but split the country & lie to you.

MLK is now known as peaceful and non-violent, but when he was active, he was painted as violent by opposition

And ... ? Even if the meme WERE true (which it isn't), it's not from when MLK was active.

There is plenty of evidence that people thought MLK was violent

Because they were founded in 1996. Right wing media at the time thought MLK was violent. Right wing media now think BLM is violent

Because BLM does have violent riots (yes, yes, along with peaceful ones, I KNOW). Meanwhile, MLK didn't do violence. Fox isn't saying that. No one cares about 25 years ago. The time is now.

I know. I am simply pointing out that, had fox news existed back then, they would've probably said that they were violent

Everyone was different back then. Even so, you can't prove it. This meme is really not well-thought.

I can prove it. You can literally search up anti mlk propaganda on any search engine, and it will come up with countless examples.
Then again, you call every meme that isn't conservative not well thought out.
