    Not according to the judge and the 12 people who comprised the jury. The “I’m not racist I have black friends” defense doesn’t really work in real life.

    That’s what the jury found. Bizarre case on multiple levels. Also, textbook why litigation is fluid and unpredictable.

    I always find it hilarious when a group that would’ve called MLK a woke, race-baiting hustler if he was alive today quotes or talks about him with adoration.

    MLK was a womanizing plagiarist. I don’t have any adoration for those qualities. I do have adoration for his view on race, which is neither woke nor race-baiting.

    You don’t have any adoration for those qualities, yet you support politicians with those qualities.

    In what way is mlk not ‘woke?’

    you figure he’d be leading the charge against DEI?

    Off target. He didn’t say anything else but that MLK held the correct view on race.
    You trying to steer it is cute.

    Sounds a lot like the "I have a White friend defense."

    So when he said king’s views weren’t woke, he didn’t really mean it?

    The real crime was giving these two men even one cent in any kind of compensation... This was all planned.

    I’m confused. What politicians do I support that have those qualities? When you’re done, drawing a blank in your response to the first question, here’s my 2nd one: do you support ALL of the qualities of those people you adore?

    Woke is a social construct.
