A big chunk of the people in the United States hated King then and hate him now. The teabaggers, the racist fucktards stinking up the old Confederacy today, hate the idea of legitimate American equality, racial equality, economic equality, social equality, and hate that idea even more when it is embodied by an African-American man. Their dream is not of progress or of equality but of the antebellum South, of segregation, of apartheid, of slavery. They should have been destroyed after the war, but they were not, and now we are suffering for our failure.
