Rev. Martin Luther King Jr's chief of staff condemned critical race theory

Wyatt Tee Walker was not only Rev Kings chief of staff he was executive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Council.  He was also chairman of Al Sharpton's National Action Network and a supporter of reparations for Blacks.

Clearly he was not a alt right racist.

But this is what he had to say about Critical Race Theory:

Today, too many ‘remedies’—such as Critical Race Theory, the increasingly fashionable post-Marxist/postmodernist approach that analyzes society as institutional group power structures rather than on a spiritual or one-to-one human level—are taking us in the wrong direction: separating even elementary school children into explicit racial groups, and emphasizing differences instead of similarities.

The answer is to go deeper than race, deeper than wealth, deeper than ethnic identity, deeper than gender. To teach ourselves to comprehend each person, not as a symbol of a group, but as a unique and special individual within a common context of shared humanity. To go to that fundamental place where we are all simply mortal creatures, seeking to create order, beauty, family, and connection to the world that—on its own—seems to bend too often towards randomness and entropy.

Essentially CRT rejects Rev. Martin Luther King Jr's key point; that we should judge people by the content of their character not the color of their skin.

What CRT rejects is the idea that it's just as wrong to say that all whites are inferior and evil as to say that all Blacks are inferior and evil.

Instead of judging people on what they choose to do CRT wants us to judge them based on their race.

That's a clear example of racism because no race is better than any other race but plenty of Blacks are superior to some whites and plenty of whites are superior to some Black.

Out quality isn't determined by our biology but by how we choose to live our lives.

But modern Democrats don't believe that since their acceptance of CRT means they're rejecting what Martin Luther King believed.
