Because there are folks around here that HOPE it is true. Some gain pleasure from watching others be destroyed. Some even hope it’s a true civil right leader that is taken down. You can read into why that is if you wish.
Was he perfect? Nope...was his character impeccable? Nope...and neither is our President’s. If character was the virtue selected to elect people no one on earth would be elected.
I don’t care how many women had consensual sex with MLK. The rape incident, if true, is a different story.
Understand this was already released by Reuters/ Newsweek for the most part Nov. 2017. About 95% of this salacious information was already dumped when Trump allowed the opening of thousands of sealed JFK documents. These files were ‘comingled’ with JFK files for some reason.
Only MLK’s witnessing and advising the ‘Pastor Rapist’ in action is new. The rest of this old news and has been confirmed by King’s right hand man -Ralph Abernathy.
He did have Communist roots and allowed Communism to flourish in his ranks. He was warned to get rid of them, but he refused. And then he died.
And like is mentioned at post #18, the leaker of this information was a long term admirer and historian of King that penned “Bearing the Cross,” a book on MLK’s Civil Rights Movement. If Mr. Garrow, just made this all up about MLK, then the King family really should sue him. It is doubtful that will happen, they have not acted for 1-1/2 years.
This has nothing to do with besmirching impeccable characters, Man, and you know it.
This is about brutalizing, degrading and raping women and treating them as filthy objects while parading as a Reverend.
He was not famous as a Pimp, but as a Baptist Preacher / Civil Rights Leader of both genders, not just men.
With that logic, Jerry Sandusky is a very fine football coach to be revered forever, as well.
And Jeffrey Weinstein is a wonderful movie director, Cosby, Nassar, etc. ad nauseum. spit.
Raping and sodomizing people weaker than you - women, girls, boys... just ain’t so funny any more.
Because there are folks around here that KNOW it is true.
