Lol. King was a "reverend" had orgies with prostitutes and alleged underage girls, he had a love child outside of marriage and was a serial adulterer. Yes, guys like swaggart and Jim baker are forgiven by many but they arent given national holidays. Wasnt Swaggart defrocked by the Assemblies of God ?

There is alot of hypocrisy of how the white religious right is treated and the black religious left is treated when it comes to hypocrisy.

We have a national holiday to someone many people would never want as their reverend at their local church.

Oh please you can’t be serious. We are just going to ignore all these me too allegations against white men who have been getting away with it for decades. Or woody Allen who continues to work even after marrying his young daughter or Polanski

Brock turner got 3 Months in prison for rape because the judge cared about his “bright future”.

Christianity is filled with hypocrites, look at all the GOP god loving reps who get caught with young boys and prostuties and side chicks while being married

Christopher Columbus murdered thousands of native Americans and is honored. So I guess you can imply it was a different world back then excuse. however MLK personal life had nothing to do with his bravery and accomplishments

So you should really quit while you are ahead

He is dead , No one really cares. That would be equivalent to talking about JFK affairs, Thomas Jefferson , Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower. No one cares these people are dead. lol

Also you are comparing him to Roy Moore the guy that was sexually abusing underage kids . Hmm ok . lol

He is Jewish white, but I don't know that he did anything all that bad, certainly not like Cosby. Anyway, what's your point? Weinstein is a total outcast because of the allegations and I never said white guys were all saints regarding sex only that they are judged harsher and quicker. I guess your point is Hollywood liberals cover for their own, and I won't disagree there.

Jewish white? WTF are you even talking about? Did you forget what you just posted claiming a white guy couldn't get away w/that kind of behavior for that long? Wrong.

If leftist reverends are adulterers and have children out of wedlock like Jesse Jackson and King , they arent hypocrites because because they are Black Reverends with leftist views?
No, Roy Moore was a patent sleaze ball, MLKJr was a demi-god.

Good Lord, the man was murdered 50 years ago. Who cares what he did 50 plus years ago?

And it's really not relevant since an affair is between two consenting adults. There's a difference between that and using one's power to take advantage of those with less power.

Do these basics really need to be spelled out?

I wouldn't attend that local church , much less make them a saint
I don't attend church, but Jesus himself was criticized because he ate and drank with publicans and sinners. Mark 2:16.

That being said, hypocrisy is hypocrisy, whether it be on the right or left.
