Before Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered, nearly 75% of Americans disapproved of him. So it’s pretty hard to take white people at face value who are expressing nostalgia for him and his protests when, all other things being equal, they probably would have opposed him in 1968.

Very few people in India read Chinese news. Can be very inaccessible. So I'm starting something new. I'll do a daily thread on People's Daily, using translations. That might make it more accessible & better inform debate. So here goes Sunday's edition.

Feedback is welcome.
