“But King’s personal flaws do not erase his accomplishments”
Put on a nice suit and take a stroll through a bad area of Detroit after dark. Every bullet you take will be one of his “accomplishments.”
I’m not sure how you equate Detroit slums in 2019 to Dr. King’s message of civil rights 50 years ago. Judging by content of character rather than color of skin is a standard to which all Americans should aspire. It’s fundamental to the American identity, and it was one of King’s fundamental messages.
