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.
