Exactly like when they accused MLK of anti-white sentiment , in the eyes of the privileged, equality is seen as persecution

Is this an actual quote?

“ In the eyes of the privileged, equality is seen as persecution”

It has disputed origin but certainly not MLK, if that's what you're asking

I paraphrased but yeah I've read that somewhere. Looked it up on the internet, turns out no one really knows where it's from

I think you might be referring to MLK’s Letters from a Birmingham Jail against white moderates.

Do you have the link of the source?

Its a short work, only 5 or so pages. I believe the part I'm referring to is on the first page.
