Not racist, just stupid or ignorant if they think MLK would have been MAGA. If they know MLK wouldn’t have been MAGA then it is disrespectful, but not racist. “Racism” has a specific meaning.

I just think it's funny.
It is funny to mock an assassinated leader?
A man gives his life for his principles, for millions of others and we ridicule him and laugh?
You must know how I interpret your answer.
To me it seems obvious that using this image,
A pic of MLK in a hat that represents modern racism, a MAGA hat, which is clearly intended to mock not honor Mr. King is overtly racist.
Does anyone see it differently?
And if so, how so?
But is not mocking, which is what this is obviously about, an assassinated black leader not racist?
Seems cut and dry to me.

Hardly. He was a REPUBLICAN and CONSERVATIVE.

MLK was a small government guy, after getting his ass whipped and jailed by, the government.
He was also tried for tax evasion by the state of Alabama. He was acquitted by an all white jury, btw.
He was also anti-communist.
I don't recall anything about welfare, ghettos and planned parenthood in the I have a dream speech.
Speaking of planned parenthood, he was very pro-life.
There's no way the Democrats would let him in the party, now.
Feel free to use facts and logic vice emotion to rebut.
No, is just funny that so many people today don't know what Martin Luther King actually stood for and what he actually said. They think he's a Republican. He's actually more of a socialist.
“First, I rejected their materialistic interpretation of history. Communism, avowedly secularistic and materialistic, has no place for God,” he wrote.
“Second, I strongly disagreed with communism’s ethical relativism. Since for the Communist there is no divine government, no absolute moral order, there are no fixed, immutable principles; consequently almost anything – force, violence murder, lying – is a justifiable means to the ‘millennial’ end,” he wrote.
“Third, I opposed communism’s political totalitarianism. In communism, the individual ends up in subjection to the state. … And if man’s so-called rights and liberties stand in the way of that end, they are simply swept aside,” King wrote. “His liberties of expression, his freedom to vote, his freedom to listen to what news he likes or to choose his books are all restricted.”
“Man becomes hardly more, in communism, than a depersonalized cog in the turning wheel of the state,” King concluded.

This looks like a call out thread, upstairs.
Should we poll that, too? :lamo

It is indeed your avatar that prompted me to start this thread if that is what you mean. I am also miffed that you were not told to remove it.
I find that disturbing too.
Hey, you wanted us to notice your hated and we did so you do win, I "get" that.
Congratulations.
I would have voted but you just had to add in that extra little bit of "it's meant to honor MLK". It's not meant to honor MLK. But neither is it racist.
And just because you view the MAGA hat as meaning to represent modern racism doesn't mean that it actually does.
There were a lot of topics he didn’t delve into. Personally, based on his criticism of both parties I would consider him more independent by today’s standards. But even if he was Republican it wouldn’t make him MAGA as a significant portion of Republicans don’t subscribe to MAGA.
