Shake your head at what? The truth? I guess you'll have to keep shaking it, then, because I cannot and will not join in the fawning over MLK.
Your post proves my earlier point. MLK was "flawed." He wasn't noticeably different from John Kerry in his viewpoints, so why do we (rightfully) savage Kerry but tiptoe around King?
You can say King stood against the Democrats all you like, but the facts show that he WAS a leftist. He promoted big-government liberalism, a cradle to grave nanny state, racial quotas, affirmative action, and expanded welfare spending. He was a pacifist who supported and defended the Viet Cong; he had numerous Communist ties of his own.
King helped lay the foundation for the welfare state which has ruined the black family. That's his legacy. But few are willing to look at it truthfully.

Yeah, we all know jf’nk has taken a stand against the ideology of the left. Um, never.
Rant all you want. MLKJR is remembered for his stand regarding equal rights for ALL, as outlined in our founding document.
Nice post
Kilowatt is historically PC on black stuff here.
It often clouds the empiricism of self proclaimed quasi Conservatives
They deny or omit or ignore or parse over that King was a VC sympathizing socialist was as you noted no better than Kerry.
King was no different than the men standing on the range at the Lorraine that day he was murdered by Ray.
The reasons most public conservatives today along is because they are afraid and lack courage.
Kings faults for a conservative to claim him are way beyond simple whoring and plagiarizing....I could sure overlook the whoring same as I do Patrons niece..ahem.
He was the enemy who we claim to detest yet today nearly all embrace or try even to claim as one of our own
Based nothing more than largely borrowed yet uncredited words spoke glowingly to a fawning media by a soon to be martyred socialist icon to be coveted by the right....he spoke flowery but acted pure leftist.....remind us of a anyone?
You really can’t make this stuff up
It is this obsession with redress for anything racist sexist homophonic or religious bigotry or bad for the planet and so forth that instructs me....particularly on race
That there is no chance to stop this train wreck short of violence
And that all this well meaning but lacking in fortitude public conservatives will mean nothing.... not even footnotes once the reset begins
They are just as much a part of the problem as the RINOs and Vichy GOP they eschew
Pity....Levin shows promise but he falls way short on this little contention
