Had he lived into the ‘70s or ‘80s, his sexual indiscretions would’ve ended up his undoing. I’ve found his canonization to be... unfortunate. There were so many people involved in Civil Rights who had a higher moral standard, but he was made the face of it. My father saw him in person, so he has been demystified to me, and he was not very impressed.

Yeah he wasn’t the worse but certainly not the best.

And he was no Republican/Conservative according to any evidence.

In the late 1960s, MLK was campaigning against the Vietnam War and siding with govt’t unions in labor disputes. If MLK was alive today, he would declare opposition to Obama to be racist. Heck, MLK might have been in a cabinet position setting guidelines for “fairness” in an Obama Administration.
