Yep. We celebrate the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson. Both were slave owners. I also notice this. Those who want to see the MLK holiday revoked are the same ones who will defend Christopher Columbus.

I don't think anyone in this thread or elsewhere who is calling for MLK holiday to be revoked actually care one way or the other. They're just making a point about the hypocrisy that we are seeing from leftists on this issue.

That, more than the cheating (which at least involved consenting adults), is the real story here. As you've written, the fact that MLK was a cheating dog has long been known. That he stood by and laughed while someone was raped/was possibly an accomplice to rape has not been known.
I'm not sure that he MLK being next to a friend who raped a woman is credible evidence at the moment unitl the Feds release such evidence. But we all know that MLK was a compulsive cheated which both Ralph Abernathy and the Feds both have information on. Even his wife knew MLK cheated.

Most Americans don't care about such holidays. Most Americans care about Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter Memorial Day, Labor Day, 4th of July. All of which is full of feasting and spending time with family and friends. MLK, Columbus Day and Presidents day is just another day off.

Christmas and Easter mean alot ot me because of my faith. The older I get, Labor Day means more to me. MLK Day is far more than just a day off for me. I think about what I have today vs how things were in the 1950s. Being Black in the 1950s would have been a nightmare for me.

You fell into the same trap. You are applying your own sense of morality to things that happened 300 or so year ago. Do you support slapping all hookers around, or just the white ones?

I'm pretty sure that civil rights is bigger than one person.

Not many black Americans celebrate mlk day. I give reverence to those days I have mentioned, but sadly your capitalist wants to make money off of people for none busy holiday days.

These groups are small, but wield plenty of social power and influence in faith, academia and so forth. My best bet is to save MLK grace, and don't release such information to the public. MLK good outweighs his bad, even though he broke a vow to his wife, and his god Jesus in which he preaches for.
Well - none of that addresses my thread. Do we know that MLK watched a woman being raped and laughed about it?


The answer is no. We don't know.


Womanizer - yes, that we know.
