This information has been out for quite some time. It's just that "news" (Fake News) wouldn't touch it.


As per the piece, he says that in 8 years when the tapes come out that America will be floored. It will be interesting just how repulsive they are...

This of course comes as no surprise to those who have known for years what "Dr." Michael was. A known plagiarist, dedicated Communist, and sexual deviant.

This is a bombshell report, particularly here in the #MeToo age, but for some reason has gotten little traction within the mainstream media. I wonder why that is? The wording of this particular article is pretty revealing in itself as to how hard it tries to hang on to the legacy narrative. It's clearly suggesting that the FBI reports are questionable. I mean, how many times can you use the words "claimed", "alleged" and "reportedly" in three paragraphs?


Is it time yet to tear down the statues and rename all of the streets dedicated in his honor?
Wasn't the FBI's job under Hoover to discredit and spread lies about anyone who was commusist, involved in civil rights or was deemed an enemy of the state.

The Rev. Ralph Abernathy even talked about how Dr. King liked hookers. So it does not sound like an FBI smear job.
It was common knowledge in the 60s. And the fact that he used plagiarism to get his doctorate was common knowledge too.

I personally don't care if MLK was engaged in cannibalism with regards to his thoughts and actions regarding Civil Rights.

Just like Thomas Jeffersons actions for the US are separate from the fact that he owned slaves etc.

Then you have any number of great kings, scholars etc. that advanced humanity through any number of means but were brutal killers and so forth.

In fact, watching someone being raped to death by an animal was entertainment during Roman times and they were a huge influence on most aspects of our daily lives.

Animals engage in sex with humans?

Probably, but what are you suggesting? King didn't plagiarize his doctoral thesis? He wasn't a communist or a sexual deviant?

And they usually use the worst pickup lines, too: "(Roar!) Say, what's a delectable hominid like you doing in a place like this?"

I did not know about this. One negative of Dr. MLK is that he was found to have plagiarized his doctoral thesis (and several of his other written works). BU decided not to retract his degree, however, because they felt his overall intellectual contribution (and greater contribution to society) outweighed this violation.

I suggest we rename them all in honor of Michael Jackson, or maybe Tiger Woods or OJ Simpson.
We know what you're suggesting. I suggest you are race-baiting. And I think I know why you are doing that.

Black guy I work with would kick your butt for saying something like that. Maybe the worst insult I’ve ever seen directed at black men.
