#MeToo Comes For Martin Luther King
The American Conservative ^ | May 26, 29019 | Rod Dreher

Posted on 05/27/2019 3:38:10 PM PDT by OddLane

Historians have known for many years that civil rights icon Martin Luther King had been unfaithful to his wife. But now, David Garrow, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1987 for his biography of King, has unearthed previously classified FBI documents showing that King was genuinely sexually depraved. From the Times of London (behind subscriber paywall):

A huge archive of documents recently released from Federal Bureau of Investigation files exposes in detail King’s sexual activities with dozens of women as he travelled the country campaigning against racial inequality...

I heard ‘rumors’ of infidelity many many years ago.......but nothing as damaging as this revelation.

What is the motive here?......who benefits from this exposure?

The Left thinks MLK was an Uncle Tom, who didn’t go far enough.

My question exactly. If you read the entire article, you sense an ulterior purpose here.

I’ve read that Jackie Kennedy was especially repulsed my MLK; bu everyone has sinned, and some people can be very mistaken in some areas of life, but absolutely correct in one, very important one - and do extremely good work in that one corner of life.

Jesus told us that if we sin in our hearts (thoughts), it’s as if we have sinned materially. ‘Let he who is without’, &c...

If it’s going to come out, best time is now while the FBI has been thoroughly discredited as a crooked, corrupt, partisan organization.

This could be the deep state, in an effort to tarnish
the current administration with black voters.

Is anyone really surprised? This information has been around for years in one form or another.

King was also found to have plagiarized parts of his doctoral thesis.

Will his statue, like Kate Smith's, be covered, and taken down for being a rape accomplice?

This is “old news”, the transcripts have been around for many years.

One that sort of jumped off the page was something like “Get over here and suck my dick you big buck ni**er”.

“Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That” (tm)

I think this is good news because...may turn off and turn away black #MeToo women. Dissension in the ranks, catfights, etc etc. Let them eat their own.

Or tarnish the current administration with a lot of *other* people.

The article certainly seems to be equating alleged behaviors of the President with alleged behaviors of MLK.

I think it might be along the lines of...
Look Trump is using the FBI to tarnish the memory
of MLK. What a low bad man Trump is, etc.!

Didn't Jimmah Carter fess up to that about the Playboy bunnies?

It’s a parasitic movement, irregardless of politics. They have to take him down, otherwise, like abortion, it’s carving out special niches for “preferred peoples” and that has been shown to blow up in progressives faces, over and over.

I’m not sure it’s that straightforward/simple.

But I do believe that the article is an attempt to harm Trump and his reputation, perhaps to numerous audiences.
