Secret FBI tapes that accuse Martin Luther King Jr of having extramarital affairs with '40 to 45 women' and even claim he 'looked on and laughed' as a pastor friend raped a parishioner, exist an author has claimed. The civil rights hero was also heard allegedly joking he was the founder of the 'International Association for the Advancement of P***y-Eaters'.
The shocking files could lead to a 'painful historical reckoning' for the man who is celebrated across the world for his campaign against racial injustice, according to one biographer. The FBI surveillance tapes detailing his indiscretions are being held in a vault at the U.S. National Archives and are not due for release until 2027. But David Garrow, a biographer of King who won a Pulitzer Prize for his 1987 book Bearing the Cross about the Baptist minister, has unearthed the FBI summaries of the various incidents.
In an article to be published in Standpoint, Garrow tells how the FBI planted transmitters in two lamps in hotel rooms booked by King in January 1964, according to The Sunday Times.

Ill get started ripping down statues, anyone wanna start renaming streets and schools?
Interesting, and telling, picture there.
And it leads to this question. If MLK is to be torn down, then who should the black role model be? Obama? Sharpton? Farrakhan?
I suppose you could reach back into history and pick someone like Booker T. Washington. Be he just doesn’t have the gravitas today that those other four have.
So MLK, Obama, Sharpton, or Farrakhan? I’ll go with the very flawed MLK any old day.
The man has been a fraud since he was a child, the same way Rosa Parks was a fraud. King and Parks were both trained at the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee, which was a well known CPUSA training center. Parks refusing to give up her seat, was not a spontaneous act as portrayed, it was a planned and calculated action.
Wait, wait, wait. The tapes ACCUSE MLK of things he said or they RECORD what he said?
I did not disagree with that statement about character.
MLK’s character can be judged by any who wish to.
Independently so can any ideas and ideals he offered.
The same has always been true of other leaders in the past.
I often think of David, as a leader, a great leader, and a very flawed man, who loved G-d and whom G-d loved.
No I am not comparing MLK to David. I am noting that greatness in some sense does not always go along with greatness in personal character.
God had David marked for death unless he repented
David repented but God still punished him so severely that the punishment left him saddened and guilt ridden for the rest of his life
And here is the kicker, the Messiah will be from the seed of David
MLK was a political tool/organizer who spoke in cadences.
> Wait, wait, wait. The tapes ACCUSE MLK of things he said or they RECORD what he said? <
The author skirts around that question. Instead he talks about “summaries”. Which makes me seriously doubt the whole article.
A lot more worse than that.
MLK avowed in his writings, he didn’t believe Jesus Christ had been resurrected, would ever return again physically, denied the doctrines of substitutionary atonement, repentance , and a number of other fundamental Christian doctrines.

He also had been understood to say the only reason he kept the title as a Reverend, is that it gave him a springboard to advance his political beliefs.
These little tidbits aren’t popular, because if you used them, those who amicably accept MLK as a great leader, will tend to label you as a bigoted ‘white supremist’ or as a ‘racist’.
Spot on deconstruct. Lot of hubris to name-change to a great historical figure. Like I could be: Joan of Arc or Margaret Thatcher.
I doubt if a righteous, wholesome man like Jesse Jackson could bring himself to associate with a man who used and debased women to satisfy his own sexual appet......oh, crap, that’s great...I spewed coffee out my own nostrils all over my ‘puter screen.
One must ask, why now? Who gains? It’s a very interesting development. Are the SJW’s who are calling for Jefferson statues
to be torn down say anything coherent?
Somebody is wishing to deflate the phony moral superiority of the leftist civil rights social justice warrior media industrial complex I imagine.
If MLK was a sexist exploitive pig, then many me-too women may start to edge away from leftist civil rights groups, especially the white soccer moms. The hope is to cause the leftists’ house to be divided against itself. Someone wants to marginalize black leftist power.
Recorded by the same J Edgar who pranced around in womens clothes
Five years ago I would have agreed with your assessment.
From David, Moses(who was a heathen idol maker) to Jefferson(Both Thomas and Jeff) Lee, Jackson and all the Confederate who fought for an evil purpose yet were honorable men who laid down their arms to make peace with their brothers.
But the Left will only see this a weakness. They have to be punched in the nose with their own tactics.
This is THEIR nose, their tactics.
Ever the way to deal with bullies.
MLK dethroned or replace, restore ever Confederate memorials!!!
Bad enough that he was a Republican.
“Uttering profound ideas and ideals is definitely not an indication of character”
I did not indicate it was. I offered no praise of MLK’s character.
I only pointed out that the same thing - questionable moral character - is not absent in many great figures of the past, yet if they had some great idea or ideal that they offered, in their time, we still appreciate what they said, whether we approve of their character or not.
There are things in Trump’s character I do not approve of. But for what I want a president to do, in that I VERY much approve of Trump. I would not dare weaken anything I favor about Trump by switching the emphasis from what matters to me about Trump - his actions as president - to his character. Like MLK, his character is to be resolved between him and G-d, not with me.
“Nope id leave that sidebar history stuff in the bin concerning MLK. The target rich environment are the corrupt, traitors in the current DemoRat ranks.”
You are spot on! King is yesterday’s news! If we “step in that pile of $hit,” the ensuing stink will likely “wake up” the sleeping Blacks, and having them “interested” in politics can only make the recovery of our country more problematic than it already is.
When they say they have documents that will be sealed for 30 years or more they are hiding something
When they say they have documents that will be sealed for 30 years or more they are hiding something
No. I do not need to be like them. I do not need to “dethrone” the past by placing all judgement’s of the past, and past figures, in today’s context. I think the better way to fight that is to not do it.
