YI think the information should be released, but I also know that a lot of voters are ignorant and easily manipulated by identity politics. I agree that people should be able to separate the idea of what MLK stood for publicly from the man he supposedly was in private, but many aren't capable of that kind of rationale thinking

Until the actual tapes are released I don't think it will be an issue, but when they are the left will try to use legitimate attacks on his character, as attacks on the civil rights movement. Not everyone looks at these kinds of issues in a rational manner. You can see how easy it is to divide people by looking at groups like BLM lying about the Michael Brown shooting, and then seeing some on the right immediately start siding with law enforcement in cases they shouldn't like the Philando Castile shooting.

There are a lot more people on the right who look at the evidence in each case before forming an opinion compared to the other side, but there are still plenty who blindly side with their team before they have all the facts. That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about trying to avoid if possible. I think we should release all documents from the 60’s showing the disgusting things going on behind the scenes with civilian leaders, along with people in our government.

Our opponents never do that. I was talking with a liberal acquaintance and he said that Robert E. Lee statues had to come down because they symbolize slavery, while MLK statues symbolize the black civil rights movement.

Who gets to decide what something symbolizes. Will all disputes always be resolved in terms of the leftist interpretation of history.

King stands for retarded liberalism of the mid century, Boomer's idealist and guilt-ridden politics and the dismissal of hundreds of years of acquired wisdom in favor of radical new concepts. Concepts that have largely failed.

We lost the right of free association in the USA as part of the "deal" in the Civil Rights Act of 1965. No, you can not refuse service to anyone you want to.

We gained affirmative action, a curse that will still be with us 100 years after MLK's passing. That's his true legacy, gibs forever for "protected classes.

MLK, as others have demonstrated on this thread, was supported by and supportive of the Communist Party. He was not a loyal American.

And now we also know he was a whore-monger and participated in rape sessions.

Yet you are still urging us to "separate the idea of what he stood for" from the man himself.

That's just really sad.
