Read his "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Long, but worth it.
Honestly, he was not a communist adulterator or a criminal betrayer of even the interests of his own race. Absurd accusations. I'm not seeing how MLK.org is anti-MLK either. Skipping over the communist thing entirely, how did he criminally betray his own race? He communicated with not only the influential people of his own race, but those such as clerfymen from other religions and races as well. Equality. Is equality not the ultimate goal? Did he betray them by not protesting violently? By winding up in jail? By not waiting for the "right time" before taking action? By dying? (willing to be he didn't have too much say in that one). Do have anything that even begins to back up the opposing view? Right now, having read MLK's letters and studied him in various ways, that those suggestions seem so outlandish, I don't even know how to begin to present good arguements against it. |
