I reject the notion there are people in our society who are so pure and noble they're above contestation. The media acted in stunned disbelief at Trump's shocking "attack" on the living martyr John Lewis. Not a single one pointed out the president was defending himself against The Saint's outrageous slander saying Trump was not a legitimate president.

That aside, I can't recall ever having thought of MLK as anything other than a rabble rouser which makes me a pariah in a culture of unquestioning worship of the civil rights leader.

Oh how awful...MLK wanted to enjoy the rights guaranteed him by the Constitution. The South in the sixties was dominated.politically by some of the nastiest fascists the democrat party could find.

IF you lived through that time and were in the South (or anywhere else for that matter), justify for me the inhuman treatment of fellow humans.
