Black History wants to recognize George Floyd as some kind of fucking savior or hero. People deserve to know the truth about him so it seems like a good place to post the truth.

Makes you wonder about all the other "civil rights heroes" in history. I mean, to the extent that you don't already know.

It made me 2nd guess everything I was taught about History. I never realized how bad it was until Trump came along.

Well spoiler alert, MLK was kind of a dick and a communist to boot. And the whole "civil rights" movement had the permanent consequence of demoralizing/cowing the public into accepting big rights for the Federal government and fewer rights reserved to themselves, whether that was its main point or not.
