This is getting out of control. MLK said "Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character." But more and more it feels like people and companies are trying to get us to judge people by their skin color.

I don't care what race someone is; I just want to watch entertaining content on Twitch. It doesn't matter if you are black or gay or trans or a martian when it comes to something like streaming. It does not make a difference to the content.

Twitch and other companies doing this nonsense need to stop. All it is doing is dividing us not unifying us.

MLK was pretty divisive figure tho. Quite hated and seen as disturbing the peace.

You started by MLK quote and ended by complaining about divisiveness. The speech that quote is from is call for radical action that won't stop. It was not call for peace.

He was someone who pushed for what he wanted in multiple areas. Very outspoken, openly talking about race and powerty.

MLK wanted unity but because some people did not support such things MLK was considered divisive. He would almost certainly be against pushes like this and that was what I was trying to convey. He believed race was not an important attribute of a person. We now have people who think it is one of the most important thing.
