Sorry about the post in red, I don’t know how it happened - I just cut and pasted from an article so maybe I included a random HTML code.
I didn’t know about all this regarding MLK either, I had grown up thinking his motives were pure. I was pretty shocked and disheartened when I read more about him.
But I have read/learned SO much about the Communist party infiltration of the USA from the 30s through the 60s. When I read Witness by Whittaker Chambers, the Venona Files, Blacklisted by History, etc and watched the documentary “Grinding America Down” I realized there was a ton more to history that I hadn’t been taught at school.
It’s no good putting someone up on a pedestal if they really don’t belong there (and very few do, but especially anyone connected in any way with the CPUSA).
Ok.
I’ve been educated where I was not before. It does seem he is not the man I thought he was, so I must withdraw my description of him as an honorable man.
I cannot stand behind those who support communism.
