Removing the black and white people part makes it more relevant to the current times when it is not just black and white people but non negligible numbers of Hispanics, first peoples, Asians, Arabs and other minorities.

There were non-negligible numbers of those people in MLK, Jr’s time, too. That has nothing to do with why he talked about white and black.

EDIT: It’s particularly funny to imagine that First peoples somehow only became a thing in America sometime after Dr. King’s time.

But advocating for the struggles of one group and not another shouldn’t make one bad.

The whole idea of intersectionality makes it hard to build coalitions and turns everything into a problem that’s impossibly complex to solve and difficult to build a coalition around.

It’s the basic reason many leaders who the majority of a country dislike rise to power. Because that majority can’t put their differences aside.

Why, shouldn’t we be able to adapt the struggles of one ear to those of another? And understand things with nuance.
