My Lord! I read the damn article. It's not clickbait, its an article by David J. Barrow, Standpoint online magazine. The first paragraph reads:

"Newly-released documents reveal the full extent of the FBI’s surveillance of the civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King in the mid-1960s. They expose in graphic detail the FBI’s intense focus on King’s extensive extramarital sexual relationships with dozens of women, and also his presence in a Washington hotel room when a friend, a Baptist minister, allegedly raped one of his “parishioners”, while King “looked on, laughed and offered advice”. The FBI’s tape recording of that criminal assault still exists today, resting under court seal in a National Archives vault."(emphasis added)

The article mentions that the FBI knew King was seriously vulnerable to blackmail because of his rampant extramarital affairs, and that the IRS discovered he accepted money from known Communists.

Go ahead. Don't read it. Wouldn't want to shoot one of your sacred cows.

Heck, maybe one of his rape victims, or an irate husband, shot the hypocrite. None of this surprises me. Reagan talked a good game, too; never liked him, either.

Because we have never heard about either the IRS or the FBI being weaponized.

In response to criticism, the fake historian is spamming its precious link, and still using cuss words in lieu of argument.

Inelegant and unpersuasive.

It's true, if you even just read the actual text of his "I have a dream" speech he talks about socialism in there.

But, he was very different from the leftists of today. It seems to me like he was an idealist who thought socialism was part of how people could come together and overcome racial barriers. I don't think he was correct about this--we're seeing now where it actually leads--but he was trying to create peace and not division. So he had his good points and bad points.

You're right. He wasn't perfect.

Doesn't mean he didn't have some good ideas and didn't fight for his fellow man.
