10:01Now PlayingEach year the Martin Luther King jr holiday celebrations in the United States feature paeans from leaders who tend to sanitize the civil rights leader’s beliefs, glossing over his strident anti-capitalist, pro-union, anti-war positions. As the Revolutionary Blackout Network’s Nick Cruse notes, some of the worst offenders are the modern-day African-American leaders like Barack Obama, Hakeem Jeffries and Jim Clyburn who will wrap themselves and their neoliberal policies in the MLK mantle even though he himself would have never supported anything of the kind.
Jimmy and Cruse discuss the dispiriting betrayal of the MLK legacy coming from so many corners today.
