QUOTE Well then, please attempt to prove their arguements wrong. From what I can tell, all of their arguements are factual and they site sources. Looks legit to me, although it is probably not unbiased. Interesting forum as well, check it out and make your own conclusion. If you read my first post, I covered that. And I have my own conclusion. And whether facts are true and cited or not, that doesn't mean that they couldn't have been construed in the wrong way. They're white supremesists. Of course they're biased. QUOTE Did you even click the link? lol Yes, dammit, try reading everything I've said. I clicked the link, and on the surface, it really isn't that obvious. I didn't have the time then to actually dig around and read things, so once I did it became fairly obvious. QUOTE Like I said before, all of their information looks to be legit. Although I do not think being an adulterator takes away from MLK's accomplishments, it is undoubtable that he is one. Yes, I'm not denying it was a fact. But honestly, that doesn't matter, as you agreed. It's completely irrelevant, so I really don't see why it should even be mentioned (not to forget about it, but it doesn't pertain to this). QUOTE Once again, check out their forums if you have the time. All of them are intelligent people; I do not agree with their ideas, but it is something to think about. Totally different from the uneducated redneck KKK member I had once pictured. Delightful. No, stereotrypes are not alll true. Hence, stereotypes. But Hitler was an intelligent person as well, and that hardly made him right. QUOTE Also, what about Mr. Bayard Rustin? The main person behind all the gatherings and marches, Bayard Rustin was a homosexual. When the FBI threatened to reveal that MLK and Rustin had a homosexual relationship, MLK fired Mr. Rustin. Ok, what about him? No one is nominating MLK for sainthood. People make mistakes. Humans are flawed. None of this, however, takes away from the things he actually did accomplish in the racial movements. So my conclusion on who he was really? A well intended man who accomplished a lot but made mistakes like the rest of us. He did far more good than evil for the world, so I hardly think those details make much difference in the long run. And intelligent and fact based or not, one should not form opinions based on white supremisists. Not to say that it isn't worth reading, but I cannot honestly consider that what they have to say actually means anything. |
