Thanks for an article which offers some levelheaded truth about MLK. No one should view that man as a hero.
The preacher of non-violence said it was his intent to go into towns and create crisis-packed situations. He voiced support for reparations.
In his April 1967 speech at the Riverside Church, he claimed our troops in Vietnam committed atrocities, and spoke of “Western arrogance.” He said that North Vietnam had legitimate reasons to be suspicious of the U.S. And he called the American government the “greatest purveyor of violence in the world.”
