He’s a myth honestly a hoax as is this refrain here and talk radio lauding him and civil rights legislation
Parrots or sheeple
A concoction of liberals and neoconservatives .....the former for propaganda and the latter for absolution and to deflect charges the GOPe is racist .....”but I loves me some Martin!”
So King liked screwing white women....what race of heterosexual men on this planet don’t ....
None I know of...
(With all due respect ma’am)
You know when I think white people saying all this nonsense about King and his platitudes he plagerized
Since I live not too far away......
I think of the Monteagle Assembly on Monteagle mt about 70 miles southeast of Nashville and its 1950s Highlander Folk School.....a blend of social activists , civil rights leaders and communism that King attended
And I think of Americana music today....weirdly ...the modern musical inheritors of the Woody Guthrie or If I Had a Hammer politics
Footnote
Ray had help....no doubt on that conspiracy allegation
Eye opening post and I agree with virtually everything Ellison had to say. That said, I think the so called “Civil Rights Movement”, led by MLK, did accomplish some much needed change in attitudes in white America.
Too bad the Democratic marxist party, led by LBJ et al, raped Black America AGAIN with Affirmative Action and destroying their family unit with specifically designed welfare incentives.
I think he was a forerunner of the jesse jackson type. There have always been instigators who do so for profit and hate.
BTW when he was shot dead there were 2 hookers in the room.
Jesse was there. Gotta wonder who they were for?
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
― Booker T. Washington
“I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.”
― Booker T. Washington, My Larger Education
“Among a large class, there seemed to be a dependence upon the government for every conceivable thing. The members of this class had little ambition to create a position for themselves, but wanted the federal officials to create one for them. How many times I wished then and have often wished since, that by some power of magic, I might remove the great bulk of these people into the country districts and plant them upon the soil – upon the solid and never deceptive foundation of Mother Nature, where all nations and races that have ever succeeded have gotten their start – a start that at first may be slow and toilsome, but one that nevertheless is real.”
― Booker T. Washington, Up from Slavery
“My experience is that people who call themselves “The Intellectuals” understand theories, but they do not understand things. I have long been convinced that, if these men could have gone into the South and taken up and become interested in some practical work which would have brought them in touch with people and things, the whole world would have looked very different to them. Bad as conditions might have seemed at first, when they saw that actual progress was being made, they would have taken a more hopeful view of the situation.”

He was about to outlive his usefulness so he was turned into a martyr.
Regarding King, Jim Tott wrote, "Toward the end of his life, a major poll found that nearly two-thirds of Americans held an unfavorable opinion of the civil rights icon." On March 4, 2015, CBS News ran a story titled "Have the goals of the civil rights movement been achieved" Fifty-four percent of all Americans and 72% of Black Americans say no.
Black Democrats and White liberals rail about the gains.
Seattle
St Louis
Chicago
Portland
New York
Los Angeles
Some folk never learn to stop talking the bait free things are not freedom.
The politics who cares King was messed with by the FBI and so was the right-wing radio preacher I listened to 50 years ago Carl McIntire.
His crime wanting a military victory in Vietnam. Nixon’s White House used the FBI spies in the American Nazi Party to try to disrupt a “March for Victory” rally.
The FBI went after the Bundy’s twice in Nevada and Oregon.
They went after President Trump’s supporters with the January 6th entrapment.
We need a complete and permanent shut down of the FBI not political jawboning about it that goes nowhere.
He was a socialist and a serial adulterer. What else do you need to know?
Statements like that one will lead lurkers on FR to believe that we are what the left depicts us as being...racist.
There is no question that communists attempted to use the civil rights movement to create division, hate and discontent. But how could standing up for ALL Americans to be treated equally subvert a government? The real subversion started later when it became the "Get even with 'em" movement.
I’m sorry if the truth hurts. Every single “leader” in the Civil Rights movement had Marxist leanings. All of the “spontaneous” events that sparked the movement were strategically planned out and funded by Communist entities.
Devastating piece on MLK.
How about a synopsis?
A synopsis of what? What I learned about Mandela from the South Africans I worked?
He was a murderer and a terrorist.
Is that synopsis enough.
Indeed. We will probably revise our little section on him in “A Patriot’s History.”
I was never a fan of his canonization, nor having his birthday declared a holiday, as if he was the singular figure or impetus for Civil Rights (and generally coming at the expense of the birthdays for Washington & Lincoln, now combined into a generally ignored “Presidents Day”, celebrated only by furniture & electronic stores for sales).
Still better than Jesse Jackson or AL Sharpton or Obama
And car sales! OOOPS!
. We likewise could use a thread telling the truth about the saintly JFK.
Right. Jackie Robinson did more for Civil Rights, and Fredrick Douglas wa a true Christian Prophet.
