Every one who cares at all about MLK seems to be able to make of him whatever they want to see in him.
He was intensely intelligent and highly driven. In his day-to-day living, he may have said one thing or another, some of them seeming to contradict.
But at his core, he was first a preacher, and a very good one, an evangelical; second, he was a man for his times, which were times of segregation, unwarranted, immoral, hateful segregation. He did what needed doing, and he died for that.
Flawed? Yes. Someone cast the first stone.
He was a great man who would be appalled at what his memory has become, as embodied by the likes of Jackson, Sharpton and Waters.
Oh lord
