In this essay, I push back against the sanitized, cherry-picked invocations of Dr. King that are often weaponized to pacify protest—especially when Black and Brown communities rise up against state violence. I argue that King was not a cuddly mascot for peace but a functional prophet who wielded morally forceful, radically loving truth to confront America’s hypocrisy. Using recent ICE raids and immigration injustice as a lens, I expose how racialized statecraft still determines whose bodies are protected and whose are disposable. This piece is a call to reclaim Dr. King in his fullness—not as a quote machine, but as a disruptor of oppressive systems.
