King is black, so he automatically is given a pass on any sort of bad behavior. Even if the tapes are released and played on air, we will see hundreds of people on CNN, MSNBC, FOX and all the rest coming to his defense, and saying that his private behavior has nothing to do with the “great and wonderful” things he advocated for.
Not me. If the tapes come out and it’s certain that he was that, I definitely would turn against him (if I could turn against the Rebel Alliance as soon as I learned from How Star Wars Conquered the Universe that they were Vietcong expies from the very start of the franchise’s creation and support the Empire, I most certainly could turn on MLK at the drop of a hat if that is proven true).
In fact, one reason I’m skeptical is due to them NOT publishing the tapes at all. I mean, if you have the tapes, why can’t you just publish the audio as well as the transcripts?
