Considering MLK's Anti-Capitalist views: if he were still alive today and held the same views as he did: he'd be blasted as a Radical Socialist (that much I suppose is true) and Far Leftist (he didn't like either poliitical parties) by the Media.

People either forget or don't know: MLK was NOT popular in his day. I remember one poll showing only about 25% of the entire country thinking positively of him when he was still alive. Newspapers would blame him for Black Riots (he'd be treated like BLM is today, maybe worse).

It wasn't until the Reagan Administration when MLK Day was conceptualized and his message and persona has been white-washed and relegated to one famous line from his "I Have a Dream Speech":

> I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

You don't see nearly as many people using these later quotes of his:

> Whenever the issue of compensatory treatment for the Negro is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree; but he should ask nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but it is not realistic. > > A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for the Negro.

Probably less than 50% of America wants the actual MLK back. A majority of the population only want the "Let's just say we're equal now and not stir anymore pots" white-washed MLK that is actually celebrated.
