My favorite MLK quote to "cherry-pick" is this one:

"Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn. The reality of substantial investment to assist Negroes into the twentieth century, adjusting to Negro neighbors and genuine school integration, is still a nightmare for all too many white Americans…"

The continued twisting of his words, particularly to chastise Black people and prop themselves up as morally superior, greatly illustrates just how much his statement very much still rings true.
