Yeah, the point is that systemic racism still exists as a whole, and that we’ve made progress but aren’t at the point where we’ve reached equality. So many times I’ve heard people cite MLK as a staple figure against things like affirmative action or trying to protect minorities, which is just hilariously far from what MLK actually believed. The guy himself said that we needed to either reform or dismantle institutions that are fundamentally racist, and that capitalism had seen its best days but needed to be dismantled. This was in the 60s and we haven’t reached that point.
