That's exactly it. They completely omit MLK applying for a concealed carry license (he was denied) or how he was becoming more and more disillusioned with the US towards the end of his llife. They also ignore Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott was planned months in advance--it wasn't a spontaneous event. It was an organized protest.
The worst of it all is how liberals reduced MLK to "non-violence" and "peaceful protest." There's a difference between that and what MLK actually did, which is civil disobedience and passive resistance. He and the rest of the Civil Rights movement deliberately broke laws or got into confrontations with white supremacists where white supremacists would be the ones who got violent. Sit-ins, handcuffing themselves onto doors of segregated businesses, etc. were all done with the intent of disrupting the bottom line and hitting white supremacy in their wallets.
Libs completely vilify the NoI (there are criticisms to be made here but libs don't bring them up) and Malcolm X. They are depicted as black supremacists and terrorists, when really they were practicing self-defense. Whitey can excuse shooting homeless people digging through their trash for food, but don't you dare shoot back at the literal KKK trying to murder your children.
Something something disappointed with the white moderate, something something foxes and wolves.
