Everyone is entitled to an opinion, including him. My dad used to say that opinions are like assholes: everyone has one, and they all stink; some worse than others. Whether ypu think he has a stinky asshole or not, I would argue that there are things he did right.
That is bullshit, i am a former lefty and i'm not going back to the democrat plantation. I'm tired of hearing this narrative that the ones moving are always, or even most of the time gona vote blue. Chances are if they are moving from blue run shithole state they'd be the ones more likely to be conservative. Stop being a prick.
Are we supposed to threaten Russia over this, are we supposed to use intelligence agencies to fund rioters to destroy statues there? No, that's retarded.
Do I care about all that? No, because Putin isn't bringing back the bad parts of Stalin, only accepting him as part of Russian history
Those "faults" are a modern day contrivance. Historical figures should be judged on the standards of their day. If you applied today's standards, Lincoln would be considered a racist.
MLK was not a communist as far as I know. He was a Republican. The communist smears were, as I understand, generated from the FBI who was spying on him.
He made ONE good, iconic speech that in many respects was completely out of line with is ideology and people grab onto it while proclaiming anyone evil who opposed the rest of his communist agenda.
We’ve seen this more recently with Obama, particularly his hope and change speech which at face value sounded good but was nothing more than a tool to beat his opposition over the head with.
MLK a commie...what!? MLK was a pastor that said the core tenets of communism were incompatible with Christianity. Just because he talked about income disparity and social justice, which were legitimate concerns in the 50s and 60s, does not mean he was a Marxist. His message was that we were all equal, regardless of race, and should be treated as such. It is a positive message and one we should embrace even today.
Now modern leftists turn that message on its head. They want to create rifts along racial and gender and every other identity line and stoke antagonism between the groups. It is a core feature of cultural marxism.
I would suggest you look at what king publicly preached, rather than what j Edgar Hoover had in his blackmail file. Recall this was during the McCarthy era when the feds were paranoid and accused damn near every public figure that caused problems for the government a "commie"
MLK Jr. was a lying, adulterous, commie. Why do we worship him? Disgusting.
I hate to break it to you, but everyone you've ever looked up to has had a skeleton or two in their closet.
People don't worship the man, they elevate the truth and eloquence of their speech.
The same reason we idolize slave owners, and pedophiles like Columbus. Because regardless of faults these are men that shaped history.
Terrible and dishonest answer.. Those people weren't actual commies. Also, stalin shaped history too, why don't we idolize him?Fuck MLK.
Yeah we need to stickie a thread for a few days so people can learn the real truth about not just MLK but Nelson Mandela too.
Thank you. It's amazing that there are still people praising that dirty fucking communist on here.

No amount of sophistry makes it ok to praise a fucking commie. Your username is absolutely glowing.
You're arguing with Malcolm X types. Ethno-nationalist separatists who oppose MLK's message of unity.

You are 100% right. I'm afraid anyone with weak enough mental faculties to buy into wholesale liberalism can never really come around.
Russia and Putin do, to some extent, "look up to" Stalin in seeing him as a product of his time, while acknowledging the hardships under his rule

This response makes no sense. I didn't say we shouldn't acknowledge MLKs existence. I said we shouldn't worship him.

so brave

Because for all his faults he led a movement that helped shape our country for the better.
Yeah dude, things have sure gotten better since the 60s. Who are you kidding?

We should always look without a critical eye at what the FBI says, right?
its literally recorded lol
