re: What would MLK say today about our racial divide in the country?

Yeah, just keep on rioting. Soon the goodwhites will realize it's time to fix everything for the black community. You're almost there.

That's exactly what he would say. I didn't address his adultery, it's well documented. My focus was more on what his message was, and it's not the Jesse/Al message of today. Not even close.

Yes, that's why I think it would be an interesting take.

I think it is fair and reasonable to say that his message would have changed considerably. As society has become more equitable in dealing with all races, his questions,demands/requests would undoubtedly have gone into other realms...

True, we don't/won't ever know for sure. Initially his message was about equality, but he might have gone over to the special rights side of things eventually.
After all, once you get equal rights, you have to find something else to want.

Well towards his 'end' he was speaking about ending the war quite a bit. He and RFK were both onto that a lot.
He was a great leader though flawed. Stout's stupid post listing some faults is ridiculous. Did he sin? Yes. Have we all? Yes. Did he claim to be perfect? No. He was really brilliant in the way he went about his work...appealing to the Christian side of Southern whites, knowing that was a huge part of their lives...One of the great public speakers ever.

He isn't as revered as he is in Alpha. Brother Ralph Abernathy is man we refer to as our civil rights icon

Supporting communism is simple "a fault" now?

Whatever he would say is being said already cause he liked to use others' words.
Posted on 1/16/17 at 8:51 am to Nado Jenkins83
There would be no MLK today. He would pissed off at his own race for how foolish they are and would call them out. He would then be labeled an Uncle Tom and would become irrelevant.

1. Yes, I would list it as a fault.
2. Show some evidence he 'supported' communism. Hoover and the FBI tried to link him to it and failed to much, if anything. If the links were there don't you think they would have destroyed him with it?

One of King's closest friends, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, wrote a book in 1989 in which he talked about King's obsession with white prostitutes. King would often use Church donations to have drunken sex parties, where he would hire two to three white prostitutes, occasionally beating them brutally. This has also been reported by the FBI agents who monitored King. He was married with four children at the time.
Man, what an idol and great leader he was beating on white prostitutes while his wife and four kids were at home.
That's just a small character flaw, though!

He took money from communist organizations to further his movement. That has been well known. He also appointed communist leaders to positions of power.
The tapes the FBI have on him were sealed by a federal judge until 2027.

stout, you have to realize that racist badwhites are the worst, most evil people in the world, and if someone is courageous enough to speak out against them then they are on a higher level than a saint, it doesn't matter how bad a person they are in private.
I all makes sense when you realize that white people's racist thoughts are worse and more evil than any violent felony.

Are one of those links a solid connection to communism? That is what you brought up to me first....

There are many other great black leaders that should be recognized over King. There are some alive today but they get labeled as Uncle Toms and instead people still listen to the NAACP, Al, and Jesse who do more to keep black people down than whites ever could.

You brought up character flaws but now you are ignoring a first-hand account of him being a whore monger who beat white prostitutes.
Also, read about his tapes linking him to communism being sealed until 2027.
