Ted Nugent tells his followers, “Never hate to tell the truth,” then shares Tyrus’ claim that Black people are the most racist group in America. Martin Luther King Jr., who actually confronted America’s racial reality with courage, said the vast majority of White Americans were racist, consciously or unconsciously. One man spent his life challenging the system that enforced segregation, lynching, voter suppression, and discrimination. The other amplifies rhetoric that blames the victims of that history. History will always force a choice: Who has earned the credibility to speak on America’s racial condition—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., or Tyrus? I’ll take the judgment of the man who confronted racism with truth, sacrifice, and his life over a television personality whose commentary flatters the prejudices of those who never wanted to hear King’s message in the first place.
