King was for integration todays left give safe spaces to certain protected races and seperate graduation ceremonies.
King was a for a society where merit is judged, not skin color Todays left demand racial preferences and special treatement of minorities based on race
King advocated non violence while Black Lives Matter riots and kills police routinely, and antifa beats anyone who doesn't toe their line.
Todays left believe in none of these core principles.
Michael King was a plagiarist, womanizer, and any feminist who would tolerate his “ I’m F’n for Jesus tonight “ with his white hookers is a hypocrite ...
King’s own children, sadly, were more interested in how to make a buck off MLK than anything else.
King’s dream died with him and the dreams of the black nationalists ruled the field.
Also note that despite the claims of his conservative apologists (including some in his own family), King was a typical religious liberal who rejected the actual supernatural doctrines of his supposed religion and considered religion to be mere didactic mythology to be used to promote secular "ethics."
“...where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
This is literally the exact opposite of today’s Leftist SJW type.
To them, the only things that matter are the external characteristics like color of the skin, which genitalia are present, what religion they follow, or who they like to sleep with.
To them, the content of someone’s character is predetermined by the responses to those characteristics.
It is the Big Agenda for the few psychopaths who control almost all our information now, the banks (world economies), all public skool textbooks, Hollywood, art, music, “culture”, google, twitter, youtube, Facebook, etc.
King was a Christian pastor so he can NOT be elevated. Only satanists and pagans like the sodomite and pederast Harvey Milk can be made into “heroes” by Hollywood, skools, etc., since the Left has been trying to flip Good and Evil for 200 years-—esp. by controlling culture (which they almost completely do).
The few gatekeepers only allow ONE way to “think” which is not thinking. They program children using the Pavlovian method (Classical Christian curricula was banned by the 50s), and they use lies and misinformation in textbooks, so children are incapable of virtue (which is necessary for Freedom). Rhetoric, the most essential skill to learn was eliminated by the evil communists like John Dewey (father of “progressive” (Marxist) “education” (conditioning). (Read Edward Bernay’s book, “Propaganda”— Freud’s nephew). Control the airwaves, skool textbooks (communist core) and destroy Classical Christian curricula and ideas (like King’s) so you can literally destroy the ideas that created the Age of Reason, Modern Science and the US Constitution. You erase traditions, history, and all philosophy and theology which was rational-—for the total removal from Realty, Truth, Justice, etc-—back to the puerile, tribal, feudalism for the psychopathic elites who worship satan (materialism/scientism).
I understand your misgivings about who king really was, but we mustn’t let the left use the moral authority of “treating people according to character over color” when they do the exact opposite.
I heard his speeches on AM radio, while in study hall in high school.
There were many Negro Vietnam servicemen, that the day could have been named for, instead of a non-veteran Negro.
