We are all equal again, right?

Isolate and quote the statement where I say the bolded, or which warrants it. Explain the warrant.

If you cannot, then it's a made up point.  It won't get stronger with simple repetition + ad hominem. 

Even so its hardly "deflected" since I just dedicated a post to refuting your "monolith" thesis, as it applies to both "races."  And not with one-liners.

For the record, a claim recognizing white supremacy in politics and education and a claim that "other ethnicities are just as intelligent and capable as white people" can both be true at the same time. So affirming one doesn't negate the other, as you appear to assume.

"Subjectivity" is ok now? Or just bad when assigned to "leftists." Your vision is surely a wonderful gift, but until you can articulate it into some form of public evidence, it remains yours alone and no basis for refuting logical arguments grounded in law and historical record.

In MLK's "Letter," he refers to Blacks who supported segregation. That support doesn't look any better if we suppose Black segregationists were "intelligent as white people," "able to make their own conclusions. Yes, even when it [was]a different conclusion white people who 'magically kn[e]w' what [was] best for them."

And white people who "magically kn[e]w" what was best for Blacks back then, and so risked their lives participating in Black-organized Freedom Rides don't seem especially blameworthy in retrospect, even if suffering from a "white savior complex," or whatever you label people who put their lives on the line to fight for fellow Americans' rights and opportunities. 

Back then it was no different than now--there were plenty of people who attacked the character and motives of civil rights protestors rather than the injustice they protested.
