Yes, MLK was a womanizer (where's Hollyweird?), but I believe he did some good things for people of color. At least his efforts were peaceful, unlike BLM. Standing by for incoming...
I've had my problems with MLK from the git go. In fact, someone here at FR recently busted my chops for suggesting that President Trump should release MLK's FBI files. LOL.
MLK was no saint, and the treacle and hagiography surrounding him makes me reach for the insulin bottle.
But I thought his legacy was about racial healing and not picking the scabs of the past. The left is so dishonest, they've dug up King's grave and are using him as a prop for racial grievances and violence.
I don't have a problem with a peaceful color blind society of live and let live. But for the Democrat party that is unacceptable.
Exactly. Womanizer or not, MLK had 10 times the class and character that his modern day counterparts do.
MLK was a unifier, not a divider. He didn't wallow in hatred, or use it as a tool to advance himself, like many leaders in the black movement do today.
It's sad to see some here gratuitously disparage the man. Everyone needs their heroes, and every hero is ultimately a flawed and fallible man. Our own President is a prime example. Some could argue that he has been a womanizer.
On balance, MLK towers above his successors. Most of them have totally abandoned MLKs methods and attitude.
And MLK paid the ultimate price for his peaceful activism.
Martin Luther King deserves a place—despite all his flaws—in the pantheon of American heroes...
