You brought up character flaws but now you are ignoring a first-hand account of him being a whore monger who beat white prostitutes.
I brought them up???
Your post early in this thread was what brought them up.
I had never heard that bit from Ralph Abernathy but if all that stuff was true, and the white government was trying to destroy him in the late 50's to early 60's, why wasn't it splashed on the front pages then?
I am not saying the guy was a Sunday school role model, just that he was human and had faults like we all do.

LBJ wasn't trying to destroy him. LBJ needed him for the passage of the 1964 civil rights act.

Like we all do? You beat on white prostitutes, dodge the draft, are a drunkard, etc?
You are correct that we all have faults, but many people seem to let those pass for MLK yet would crucify any white leader with the same faults. He was a PoS for the most part but stating that would put a dent in what he stood for so people just choose to sweep it under the rug.

He would be called an Uncle Tom and would be hated by most blacks, like Herman Cain or Ben Carson.

To carry the HUGE black contingent in Congress? lol
Not sure why you have a huge hard on against him..but tired of arguing. The man was working for equality which DID NOT exist...but you probably think that is BS too.
He was not lily white (intended) and obviously a huge hypocrite. But if we waited for someone who had nothing to hide before anything got done....
If the problem is we have a 'day' recognizing him then I agree with you...But then I think we should combine a lot of the Federal days and let each person celebrate whomever they choose....Be it MLK, James Earl Ray, your Pop (hope he is doing ok), Chicken, T. Roosevelt or Geo. Washington or Geo. Washington Carver.
Get rid of Labor Day, Vet. Day, Mem. Day, NYD etc. Leave Independence Day, Easter, T-giving, and Christmas..because we are all Christian and those are our holidays
Enough from me.

Nah, that dude deserves his own NIGHT where we light every goddamned bulb we have in celebration. I'm not kidding, either. Electric lighting was HUGE in terms of furthering the industrial revolution. Once the factories could run 24/7, shite moved FAST.

White people love defying MLKJR despite not knowing anything about the man except for the white washed version they get in high school.
I actually think MLK would be more upset about the economic divide in this country. The man was a socialist and far more left-wing than Barack Obama ever was.
quote:
“You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry. Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism. There must be a better distribution of wealth, and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism.”
quote:
“Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children.”
quote:
“Negroes are not the only poor in the nation. There are nearly twice as many white poor as Negro, and therefore the struggle against poverty is not involved solely with color or racial discrimination but with elementary economic justice.”
quote:
“I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic… [Capitalism] started out with a noble and high motive… but like most human systems it fell victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has out-lived its usefulness.”
quote:
“And one day we must ask the question, ‘Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth.’ When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I’m simply saying that more and more, we’ve got to begin to ask questions about the whole society…”
quote:
“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.
quote:
“I am now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective – the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed matter: the guaranteed income… The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty.”

If he was around today he'd be no different than Al Sharpton.
As he did in life, MLK would continue to slay twice the poon, at twice the quality.
MLK didn't need hookers, but on the road call-girls and escorts are a safer bet for a man in the public eye.
He could pick up a woman just as easy as any celebrity, when he had the time and the opportunity.

Where are you getting that people think that racism exists because of Obama? And don't say this board because many on here know that racism has always existed and will continue to exist. The point is Obama, a black president, helped worsened race relations.

No it gets annoying when everything is turned into a race issue.

BARACK OBAMA DID NOT WORSEN RACE RELATIONS IN THIS COUNTRY! This is the stupidest shite you people say and it's so fricking untrue that's its lauaghable at this point.

It's really no point in having a debate with you idiots. You aren't going to change your minds and frankly you're not worth trying to.
