Malcolm X, ironically, is much more politically aligned with this board than MLK.

Malcolm X is high on the list of historical figures I would love to have a conversation with. I think there would be some eye opening revelations.

X was a intellectual descendant of Booker T Washington. Booker->Marcus Garvey->NOI.

His podcast episode yesterday on John Brown was mind blowing.

John Brown was a psychotic POS that gets hailed as a righteous saint.

I'll give the pod a listen this evening, thanks for posting about it.

Counting illegals, white people are still the majority. Of course, you can always claim there are more illegals than the mainstream estimates say.

That's not what my dad called him!

Chad O. Jackson has a number of videos on MLK and the civil rights movement, exposing the dark - or at least unknown - side of both.

I upvoted your post because it was overall very on point, but this…

…has an obvious answer. He was, by far, the leader of a very just and righteous movement to give equal rights to an oppressed people.

That it went too far is something we would probably agree on, but by that time, King was dead. Critics of King tend to focus on his licentious lifestyle or his pecuniary irregularities. In that sense, his critics are similar to the critics of Donald Trump - always alleging that he’s a rapist or a cheat.

In the end, it doesn’t matter. It’s what he did politically that mattered. Just as the music of Wagner defines Wagner, not its supposed support of fascism. And maybe MLK would have lurched toward Marxism if he had lived. In that case his assassination would have saved his reputation. But that is a matter of conjecture.

Everyone knows this. Everyone has just accepted the fact that the black population, and a lot of media chooses really bad role models.

...and is everyone finally openly admitting that the entire Harriet Tubman story is silly bullshite?

I’ll be honest. I knew very little about him before this podcast. Summary: John Brown butchered innocent white people who weren’t slave owners and had nothing to do with slavery. John Brown did it to strike fear into the pro slavery crowd hoping to start a race war. This POS was a domestic terrorist who killed whitey. No wonder the left idolizes him!

My Dad and uncle said everyone called them that back then. It wasn't necessarily derogatory. And they called white people crackers. At some point in the 80's, that word was deemed offensive.
