Some folks can't handle the truth, as they are heavily invested (emotionally) in the reigning narrative.
Other folks grow up and realize that the myths of both Santa Claus and MLKjr are a charming tales for children. How about Thomas Jefferson and Christopher Columbus? Are those myths that we should tear down too? People are multifaceted. Even the most accomplished and inspirational people in history had their flaws. So what?

Are those myths that we should tear down too? People are multifaceted. Even the most accomplished and inspirational people in history had their flaws. So what? The point is that he was black. This conclusion in this paragraph says it all. At the time MLK said that, he was not allowed to sit on the same toilets as white people much less eat in the same restaurants. White oppression and racism were very real. Sometimes I think some of the people on here would love to see those days again. Perhaps thats what they think of when they think of making america great again.
Like liberals today, King denied racial differences. In a reply to an interviewer who told him many Southern whites thought racial differences were a biological fact, he replied:
“This utterly ignorant fallacy has been so thoroughly refuted by the social scientists, as well as by medical science, that any individual who goes on believing it is standing in an absolutely misguided and diminishing circle. The American Anthropological Association has unanimously adopted a resolution repudiating statements that Negroes are biologically, in innate mental ability or in any other way inferior to whites.”
The conclusions to be drawn from his belief in across-the-board equality were clear: failure by blacks to achieve at the level of whites could be explained only by white oppression. As King explained in one interview, “I think we have to honestly admit that the problems in the world today, as they relate to the question of race, must be blamed on the whole doctrine of white supremacy, the whole doctrine of racism, and these doctrines came into being through the white race and the exploitation of the colored peoples of the world.” King predicted that “if the white world” does not stop this racism and oppression, “then we can end up in the world with a kind of race war.”

So what? the left tries constantly to do that with some success by them rewriting historical events the way they want them understood. A lot of myths really have no value except for different groups to make hay with . I see MLK day as " what idiot argues against another paid holiday" ? scenario. MLK, the Kennedy's, & Wallace were people who wanted change or retention of status quo past the limits of what others were willing to accept. They paid with their lives for their ideas just that simple. MB

So you support gang rape? If you haven't paid attention many communities have already outlawed and protested Columbus. Historical statues are removed frequently now in our country by progressives, works of literature, movies are banned, history rewritten to promote a more progressive friendly view. If progressives want a "woke history" lets shed a bright light on the true character of MLK. Where's the outrage from the meetoo gals?

Saw a black lady drinking coffee, sitting on a bench, near a local MLK memorial. There’s a button you push that plays part of the famous speech. She was dressed well, maybe on her way to work. Maybe an interview, maybe homeless or somewhere in between. Who knows.
All I could guess was that the words inspired her in some way.
That’s enough for me. Is that ok?
MLK was as much a sinner as anyone else. No more, no less.
“The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.”
Also heard once from a black professor at American University: “If Martin Luther King and Robert E. Lee had lived during the same time, they would have been best of friends”
Imagine where we’d be if they did?

In the 60s, my dad was working at my grandfather's used furniture store in San Francisco when a bunch of black guys came around to beat up any shop owner who had white skin (my grandfather's store was in SF's Fillmore District, which was a very poor neighborhood with large black and Jewish populations). Other black folk came by to stop the attacks. It turned out that the aggressors were affiliated with Malcolm X and the good guys were MLK Jr's supporters.
I'm sure there were plenty of bad things done by MLK Jr., but his message and his followers at the time were generally good people with good intentions. That can't be said of Malcom X or, in today's context, the Black Lives Matter crowd.
Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.

It's not surprising that MLK was a front man for Communists. Communists have a long history of agitating in the black community.

Where have you ben the last few decades? TJ and CC already have had the historical colonoscopy and all misty-eyed notions of them have ben dispelled. It is MLKjr's turn to get it good and hard, just like he gave it to the wives of his parishioners or the gal his fellow civil rights activist / minister raped in front of MLKjr.

So is the author really mad at MLK or something else? He is a white supremacist writing an article for a white supremacist media outlet. Google American Renaissance. Jim wins the stupid contest !!

Communism always strikes a chord in the poorest most disenfranchised communities and countries. It has the most to offer people with nothing. Mostly hollow promises, the chance to be part of something larger as a collective than they ever dreamed possible as an Individual and the fantasy of social equality which isn't possible. Just another way to control the population.

In Roman times, the Plebians were controlled by "Bread and Circuses" Now it's the NBA and EBT cards. The upper crust's way of keeping the great unwashed under control hasn't changed much in a couple of thousand years. Rabble rousers like MLK were unwitting pawns of the power brokers.

The black community in America is a church culture, but by and large not Christian.
Long ago the mainstream rejected Booker T and Carver... both great good Christians.
Instead they embraced Dubois, a communist.
James Cone sought to combine Marx and the Apostle Paul. Black idolatry was the result.
MLK lived a habitual chronic unrepentant life of gross deviance, orgies, adultery and fornication.
Divine grace and true regeneration is the answer, not Marx or SJW ism.
Dereliction in child reading is the primary cause of lawlessness in black ghetto land.
MLK s example is louder than his verbal eloquence.
The sooner blacks stop worshipping at his altar the better for us all.

The sooner blacks stop worshipping at his altar the better for us all. That is, without a doubt, one of the best posts ever. I live in a county with a large Black population, almost 25% of the total. Most go to church, and therefore, should be Christians...........but the Black church is not a place where worshipping the Lord is the main priority, it is first and foremost a place to promote their political agenda. The Black church is used for political rallies, for political candidates to come and "worship" (aka campaign), and as the center point for such groups as the NAACP and the BLM. Our local TV news comes out of Nashville TN, and there is a lot of violence in that city, primarily Blacks doing the crimes. There are always the usual suspects among the Black community, mostly pastors, who are always on TV talking about how this violence much stop and how kids need to quit killing each other..........good points, BUT....who is that always gets the blame for it, the White race, because they're not doing enough for the Black community.

The apostasy of the black church is a great tragedy.
They really need a black George Whitefield. Instead there is Crefflo Dollar, Rev. Wright, J Cone and mind science voodoo Oprah. Sad. I pray.

Back in those days all the newspapers and TV stations weren't owned by northeasterners and all the journalist weren't Democrats so those of us in the south knew exactly what kind of person he was.

Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21.
Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

That is exactly my point. Enough with this garbage. If you do this with MLK, you have no right to complain when they do it with other historic figures like Thomas Jefferson.
