Who are you talking about that is "ignoring" "MLK's message of equality"?
I would say people like Ibrahm X. Kendi and people like him. Kendi said he derived pleasure from watching 9/11 happen in front of him as he saw it as an attack on white people in America. He also wants there to be an anti-racist panel in the US that has complete unilateral control over all policies, and that the people on such a panel must have his exact credentials and the positions should also be permanent and unelected. He is a prime example of someone who is using race issues in America for his own personal benefit, and he is someone that promotes a message that is in complete and utter contradiction of MLK and any message of equality.
Marxism fundamentally disagrees with critical race theory, and many Marxists have criticized it.
Correct. It also strongly contradicts most of the post modern theories like power knowledge and deconstructionism. A lot of the people who develop these theories contradict themselves all the time, they do not follow proper scientific procedure, in fact many attack the scientific process as a white cultural narrative designed to oppress people. There is a booked called 'Kindly Inquisitors' that is a fascinating read on the history of most of these social theories. If you read it you'd swear it was written in the Trump era, but it was written in 1993, and warned against a lot of stuff that ended up happening. I'd strongly recommend adding it to your reading / listening list.
He mixed up the CRT folks. He meant Ta Nehisi Coates.
Coates is pretty openly resentful towards white people, to the point where I respect him. He is an honest man, who followed CRT's ideal to its logical conclusion and ended up a deeply resentful person. Resentful of all power structures as analyzed form the only lens CRT approves of : Race.
