Sobran makes some points, but makes them poorly. In dissecting King's "I have a dream" speech, he comes off as a mincing schoolmarm, and perhaps more than a bit jealous. I mean, what speech of Sobran's has had such an impact?

Verdict: unhelpful, and adds nothing that hasn't been more pungently expressed numerous times before. Not one of Sobran's best.

The problem I have with people who glorify King and his "non-violent" act is that they conveniently forget that he was protected by hundreds of US troops and National Guardsmen on orders from Kennedy and Johnson, and hundreds of white liberals joined in the marches. Now its taught that Rosa Parks marched practically all alone. Real changes came about only after the 1968 riots, and the blackmail has continued ever since. Now everyone thinks King brought about these changes all by the power of his speech making. The fact that he favored white women as sex partners is also ignored. I guess "history is a lie agreed upon", as Napolean said.

One of King's closest friends, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, wrote a
book in 1989 in which he talked about King's obsession with
white prostitutes. King would often use church donations to
have drunken sex parties, where he would hire two to three
white prostitutes, occasionally beating them brutally. This
has also been reported by the FBI agents who monitored King.
King was married with four children.
