A CNN piece published Monday heralded Martin Luther King Jr.'s views on issues beyond civil rights, including his support for democratic socialism.
CNN's John Blake wrote about "Three ways MLK speaks to our time," published as a straight news article rather than an opinion piece. Blake wrote that on the holiday honoring his legacy, King's commitment to socialism, role as an "environmental hero," and congeniality towards his opponents ought to be considered alongside his racial advocacy.

Theres nothing cooler than a political system responsible for the deaths of millions.

Will they put it in The Atlantic magazine?
There is one sentence that The Atlantic demands be in every poem they publish.
Here it is.
I took a crap and the deer took a pee.
If you can fit that in, The Atlantic magazine will probably publish it.

MLK was well-know as a womanizer/ Were he alive today, it is likely he would have been accused by multiple women of ‘inappropriate touching’ or worse. He would quickly not be cool ...

Not only was MLK a communist, degenerate and fraud, he was not a Christian. In his own words, he did not believe in the deity of Christ, the virgin birth or the bodily resurrection.

I checked several studies on the net and you appear to be correct. Michael King was not a Christian defined as a believer in the divinity of Christ. That does not surprise me. I am now convinced he went to hell.
