        That’s what I’ve been repeatedly asking you.

          Seems to mean that he wasn’t favorable at all.

            Wait hangon, is this all because you’re interpreting positive approval of a contentious political figure from 1/3 of a population as not popular?

              You realize that the figure includes black people right?

                  The question is optics of the oppressor.

                  When someone tells <oppressed minority> they need to be civil and quiet and unobtrusive so straight, white, cis males will support them, and cites King, they’re either wildly misinformed of history or siding with the oppressor.

                  Even including black people MLK was factually overwhelmingly unpopular.
