Any time, a leftist brings up that many Founders were slave owners, or that Jefferson impregnated one of his slaves, or that Trump was an alley cat, or other Really Uncomfortable Facts about these great men, many folks on our side have a cow.
But that MLK guy, heeeeees a plagiarist and a womanizer. He’s baaaaad. Blah blah blah.
These same folks post negatively about the FBI…unless the FIB allegedly has unreleased dirt on MLK. I don’t get it. The FBI has a spotless history of defending truth, justice, and the American way. They’re beyond reproach.. There is NO WAY they’d frame anyone. (is the /sarc really necessary?)
MLK, the Founders, and Trump et al, aren’t Saints. Neither am I. And yes, there are plenty of awful folks who are black. And there are lotsa bad whites.
King was assasinated for, in general, trying to make America a better place. By way of contrast, most of us type and post on FR to Defend Liberty. Let’s be honest: in this calculation, we can’t hold a candle to MLKjr.
Will I be attending a lecture today on King? No. Will I go to a municipal celebration about MLK. Nope. I also don’t celebrate Presidents Day.
But I will feel a little better about being an American, where we work on our flaws and continue to be a great nation. I will thank God I wasn’t born in Europe or Asia etc. And I’ll thank God that His Son came for us sinners and not the Perfect Ones posting online.
He was against it
