As the official dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial in Washington, D.C. approaches, liberals in the media are in damage control over a revelation about the civil rights leader from an unlikely source—Caroline Kennedy, daughter of JFK and Jackie Kennedy.
[snip]
Streets, schools, etc. named after Dr. Martin Luther King who was a phony. The mystery around the assassination of King by James Earl Ray has never been successfully explained.
Who was behind Ray? Where did he get his traveling money. What made him keep his mouth shut after being put in the slammer?
I've always believed that the USSR was behind the killing of King in the hope that it would incite a firestorm across America by the negro population. Ray kept quiet as he knew full well that he would be murdered in prison if he told anything about his backers.
King loved communism I guess
For postmodernistic libtards the myth and the agenda that the myth serves to promote is more important than the facts of reality.
The King legacy is the worst myth in our history and personifies what has gone wrong in our nation, culture and peoples.
maybe one day folks will wake up..giving flowery platitude laden..(borrowed) speeches does make make a silk purse from a sow’s ear
aside from his murder, King’s entire legacy is mythic and not based in the reality of who he was and desired
serious stalwarts who made America like say...George Mason..are relatively unknown except to scholars yet King is like communique manna recited by school fids from pre-K forward
and GOP including many here drink from THE VERY SAME FOUNTAIN
The movie “ The ,Man who shot Liberty Vallance”
Towards the end of that movie the Journalist tells Jimmy Stewarts character;When the legend becomes the reality, Print the legend.
That is pretty much what happened in MLK ‘s place.
At the time we all knew he was a womanising Communist.
Today we get the legend.
His “I have a dream” speech was a great speech and he did a great job of delivering it, but it was BS then and BS now.
Blacks do not want equality and will not be satisfied until they are the slave owners and Honkies the slaves.If blacks really wanted equality they would turn down affirmatiove action jobs.
“Who was behind Ray? Where did he get his traveling money. What made him keep his mouth shut after being put in the slammer?”
It was “The Mysterious Raoul.”

The Dems cannot continue to claim their JFK legacy and King at the same time. I’m not surprised by these ‘new’ revelations concerning King. This guy has been given a status above every single American historical figure for far too long. All the named schools and streets, the national holiday, the uncritical and fawning praise taught in public schools all serves to advance the groupthink and worship of a Leftist hero.
Sure, he acted laudably by advancing civil rights for African Americans. But, he seems to have lead a personal life wholly inconsistent with his professed Christian teachings. And, much more disturbingly, he had communist tendencies which are at the heart of black liberation theology, and social and economic justice policies which are currently seriously dividing our nation along lines of race and income.
So, the next time I see a flash mob destroying property and beating ‘Whitey’, I can know that King would have approved.
I wholeheartedly agree. Way to much uncritical praise has been heaped on this guy. The crap taught in schools is absolutely BS. Anyone that says a negative thing about him in public or in school, must fear for their personal safety.
We'll never really know who assassinated MLK, don't agree with that, but it added to his image by making him a martyr.
So it turns out Jackie Kennedy was a lot more perceptive and closer to the truth in her evaluation of MLK than the tens of millions who have blindly idolized the old commie whoremaster for the last 43 years.

I know he didn't believe in Christ's bodily resurrection; perhaps by the end of his life he had changed in his thinking, I don't know.
notice only a dozen replies here...folks afraid to touch it
we have goofballs here who even claim X was a great guy
man how the left cleaned our clock on culture
“King’s entire legacy is mythic and not based in the reality of who he was and desired”
Exactly. The guy was a communist, or at least a fellow traveler, plagiarizer extraordinaire, and of course a customer of prostitutes (despite being calling “Rev.”).
Not role model material at all, let alone the demigod status that so many, including (as you said) some conservatives, would pretend.
Caroline Kennedy and Jackie,,, call someone a phony. That’s rich. On the whole, King didn’t push anything close to the modern crap of affirmative action etc. I don’t recall hearing him pushing marxism either. Although I fault him for poor judgement, think back to the cold war in the 1950s. As we had legal segregation of schools, transportation, restaurants etc.,, the soviets were busy extolling that there should be full racial equality. This was very seductive to blacks in that era. If your country legally classifies you as second class,,, and someone else is loudly saying that you are being done an injustice, then some will find common cause there.
Where King failed was in not realizing that the soviets were just as racist we were, and were merely trying to exploit our treatment of blacks to try to harm us. It was pure cynicism,, and King fell for it.
But to me,, its like beating your wife,, leaves an opening for the low life neighbor to lend her a sympathetic ear, and to tell her how he would treat her so much better.
Unless someone can defend segregation, i think one of the big lessons of racist crap, is that it creates a wonderful environment for those who want to tear us down.
The blacks are also infatuated with islam today,, making the same mistake of blacks in the 50s with soviets.
Speaking of ‘drinking from the very same fountain ‘,,,,
Caroline takes the liberal “cause” AGAINST her mom’s own words. Wow.
If her mom were alive today, I wonder what Caroline would have said then!

The Kennedys calling King a phony is the world’s biggest example of the pot calling the kettle black.
