"Oh, a black man wasn't really about civil rights, it was all the white republicans! We're awesome! MLK Jr. SUCKS! GO US! Vote for us, black people! WE LOVE YOU. NO REALLY!"
I think I was particularly thrown by the assertion that he opposed the Vietnam war as if this were a bad or strange thing to do. I... kind of remember quite a lot of people opposing the Vietnam war.
That's what got me...it's a white man basically telling black people that we should dislike MLK (who, despite his failures, was a prime agitator for getting us most of the rights we now enjoy) and to love the white Republicans - like Reagan, whose economic policies were directly responsible for reversing most of the closure of the equality gap between blacks and whites in this country. Okay, sure *eyeroll*
Yeah, no matter how you slice it - this article is just... disgusting. And I ALWAYS love when someone outside a group of people tries to tell that people who they should think and act. -___-

And yeah, no kidding. A lot of people opposed the war. Dr. King was hardly the only one. And even hardly the only high profile person to do so.
