    To add, MLK thought passing the civil rights act was a mistake after it was passed. It didn’t go far enough, and it passing pretty much ensured nothing else would be done in addition. Sometimes something that looks good on the surface is actually damaging. Just because this person’s father suger coated their bigotry (in this particular message at least) doesn’t solve the problem that they’re a bigot and making their daughters quality of life worse.
