It should be noted that when Hitler's Nazi Party rose to power, one of their models for how to implement their
agenda into policy was based on the writings and research of Heinrich Krieger, a German exchange student at the University of Arkansas who did extensive research on Jim Crow Law in the Southern United States, and Roland Freisler, who later became the judge, jury, and executioner of the Nazi People's Court, responsible for over 5,000 executions of perceived enemies of the state. Both were avowed Nazis who were in lock step with the ideology and found the American model a point of how to use policy to enforce a eugenics-based agenda.
It should also be noted that the Nazi war machine was fueled by both slave labor of its captured enemies but also large amounts of
American capital and trade from some of the wealthiest American businessmen and legal support from noted lawyers, chief among them:
Henry Ford (an avowed Nazi), who had GM and Ford supply the troops with trucks;
John D. Rockefeller and his Rockefeller foundation, which gave a lot of money to German eugenics programs and later supplied engine oil to the Nazis during the war;
John Foster and Allan Dulles, American lawyers whose law firm represented German corporations and American corporations with German interest during the war, including rescuing Nazis from justice, and later becoming Secretary of State and CIA director, respectively;
Prescott Bush, who owned several banks, including handling the non-German banking for Thyssen Steel, whose owner was an avowed Hitler supporter, even after the United States had entered the war. Bush received well over a million dollars from his financial ties to slave-labor-made German steel, and avoided prosecution when several of his companies assets were seized under Trading with the Enemy violations. Bush later became a US Senator, and his son George Bush would later become both director of the CIA, Vice President, and President of the United States. His grandson, George Walker Bush, was both Governor of Texas and President of the United States. The wealth and status of the Bush family is literally a result of Nazi gold investments and partnered slave-labor from concentration camps.
To say America is uniquely brave for fighting WW2 is utterly ahistorical, especially when its eugenics policies were used to draft Nazi policy and some of its richest citizens funded the Nazi rise to power, even during the war, and many escaped any prosecution and later ran the country despite their fascist sympathizing.
It is completely ahistorical to suggest that King's movement in the 50's and 60's was even one of the first civil rights movements in America, but it's also worth pointing out that J. Edgar Hoover, the longtime director of the FBI, personally ordered the FBI to spy on civil rights leaders like King, including wiretapping him and spreading disinformation in order to undermine his credibility, as part of its overall
COINTELPRO campaign. Their peak came when they sent a fraudulent
letter to King claiming they had tapes of sexual indiscretions and advising him to commit suicide.

Of the G7 countries, only Germany has a lower median wealth than the United States, which is ranked 18th overall on a global scale. Average wealth is 7x higher than median wealth, which is a staggering inequality and the main source of the collapsed middle class. The reason why the US has the highest concentration of millionaires and is the richest country overall is because legal wage theft and very lax taxing make it far easier to sustain and accumulate mass wealth over time. It doesn't seem like America is uniquely special in this endeavor other than its easier to skirt what is law in other countries here than anywhere else and we have the bombs.
