King was a former member of the CPUSA and took money from them....that is more than just an alliance.....this is an old fight....no sense to beat it to death but even the most charitable review of his history is very ambivalent
and look at Google today.....the cowards won't mention Jesus on Christmas or Easter yet there is MLK on their banner
something wrong with our culture today
King over George Washington...not in my book, his holiday is pure pandering and guilt driven
Your memory may be shaky, but here is the reason why there’s no more “Washington’s Birthday”. Businesses were losing too much money having two winter holidays so close together, so they merged Lincon’s birthday and Washington’s birthday into one.
And yes, he may have been a radical lefty, but this radical lefty was the force we needed to make sure our country didn’t become another South Africa.
And so what if he was a Communist and a womanizer? Einstein had Communist affiliations as well too. So did Helen Keller. Thomas Jefferson was a womanizer. Does that mean we should protest every Helen Keller school for the blind, stop teaching the theory of relativity in schools and melt down every nickel because they had those character flaws, or should we praise the good they did despite the fact that they had dubious character flaws?
So answer me this, why cherrypick MLK’s foibles but not other historical figures foibles?
