"MLK envisioned a post-racism society in a speech once and I don't know a single other thing about him, so we should ignore racism entirely and never, ever work to counter it"

"counter it" = more racism.

Throwing black people a pity party just because they're black is denying who they are and what they can achieve as individuals.

You don't see them. You only see a situation you disagree with.
You think they need a light to be shined upon them because they're in the dark or something?
That they need your special aid help in order to have a standing in society?
The only thing they need is the same thing we all need, universal basic human rights.

You've fallen in the same trap as those driven by hatred, so focused on "countering" it. And you can't see that it doesn't need "countering", it needs to be removed from the equation entirely.
