It’s important to remember that our memory of him and his struggle has been sanitized. His ideas were more radical than textbooks often state, and he faced the same smear campaigns and demonization activists today face, only without the magnitude of social media and 24 hour cable news.
The next MLK may be among us already, but Fox News has drilled it into the heads of almost half of America that they’re an Antifa communist BLM supporter who hates and wants to eradicate white people.

Gotta say, that’s a weird metric. Yeah, they spent a lot of time and money on it.
Like, I recently made like $30 spending an hour writing an article on how Bossk might be a cannibal. Amazon “only” made hundreds of millions from RoP.
Which is the bigger success? The multimillion dollar fantasy project that still made millions, or the 650 words I farted out about a space lizard eating other space lizards that costed me all of a slow period at work?

The black characters were also white in the book.
The anti-“woke” crowd did, in fact, lose their collective shit over that.
Meanwhile, the Velaryons are probably the one family you could portray as black without breaking established lore and Steve Toussaint crushes it as Lord Corlys.
