It's been exactly 50 years since we lost him, but we haven't lost his dream

[basquebromance]

Dr. King fought for every race and ethnicity. He fought for the poor. He fought for women. He fought for gays. He fought for cleaner air, cleaner water, and fair housing policies and economic opportunities.

what a tragic loss.

And he was financed by the Soviet Union

We lost an alcoholic whoremaster who plagiarized his speeches being too drunk to write his own. When he was killed he was about to be investigated for embezzling money from the Ebanezer Church to finance his parties.

This is the hero of the left and it is fitting that this stinking algae is.

Someone has been drinking the Kool-Aid

I recall the tension that arrived with the news of his assassination. Folks feared the start of an all-out race war.

I thought Dr. King worked to promote black people. Are we suddenly revising everything to make it pc now?

True unfortunately. I remember it quite well. In their divorce, Coretta lowered both barrels.

things you didn’t know about Martin Luther King

1. His name wasn’t Martin Luther. It was Michael. It was decided Martin Luther had a more prominent ring to it, so he went by that. He never legally changed his name. To this day, he lived and died as Michael King.

2. While working on his dissertation for his doctoral degree at Boston University, he heavily plagiarized from another author who had done research on a subject similar to King’s. As academic committee later found that over half of King’s work was plagiarized, yet would not revoke his doctrine. King was dead by this time, and the committee ruled that revoking the title would serve no purpose. It was also discovered that King’s famous I HAVE A DREAM speech was also not his own. He stole it from a sermon by Archibald Carey, a popular black preacher in the 1950’s.

3. King was under FBI surveillance for several years (until he died) due to his ties with communist organizations throughout the country. King accepted money from the organizations to fund his movements. In return, King had to appoint communist leaders to run certain districts of his SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference), who then could project their communist ideas to larger audiences. A federal judge in the 60’s ruled that the FBI files on King links to communism to remain top-secret until 2027. Senator Jesse Helms appealed to the Supreme Court in 1983 to release the files, so the correct bill in the Senate to create the Martin Luther King Federal Holiday could be abolished. He was denied.

4. One of King’s closest friends, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, wrote a book in 1989 in which he talked about King’s obsession with white prostitutes. King would often use church donations to have drunken sex parties, where he would hire two to three white prostitutes, occasionally beating them brutally. This has also been reported by the FBI agents who monitored King. King was married with four children.

Martin Luther King Day. A day when this country will come to a screeching halt so we can have parades and memorials to honor this man, a man that most of the world views as a saint for his role in the civil rights movement. No other public holiday in the United States honors a single individual. Of all the great leaders in our Nation’s history-none of them have their own holiday. All of our great war heroes share Memorial Day. All of our great presidents share President’s Day. Yet king — a man who was a phony, a cheater, a traitor, and a sexual degenerate gets a day of his own.

If you mean by stating the truth then you and I are in agreement. Dr. King was a troubled weak man, as many of us are. He did do good for the black community at the time. It's a shame he was replaced by the likes of Je$$ie Ja¢k$on and IRS Al Sharpton.

Yes it’s important to remember to insult a person on the anniversary of their death, in a thread about remembering the good he was able to do.

there are still people like David Frum and Steve Wilson, Michael Steele and Nichole Wallace. And that's off the top of my head. I'd say Joe Scarborough, too, but they made him so sick he left the party.
