I think my next post will use a King quote that applies to black people who prefer reparations to basic income.

Here's the quote for my side:

“In the treatment of poverty nationally, one fact stands out: There are twice as many white poor as Negro poor in the United States. Therefore I will not dwell on the experiences of poverty that derive from racial discrimination, but will discuss the poverty that affects white and Negro alike. ... The solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income.” — Martin Luther King
