And streets?? Just a warning to wear your kevlar.
I’m wondering did any of these Women ever come forward?
Yes. Rename all the schools and streets named after him as well. Take away the holiday. Vilify him all the history books.
I’m witchoo.
I'll speculate that the Kennedys wanted some sort of "embarrassment control" over MLK at that point. (Hmmm, I'm surprised that the Kennedys didn't arrange for lobotomy for him...)
Good points.
No, but the FBI should be immediately disbanded for this and dozens of other abuses and civil rights violations.
It is a creation of the progressive era, run by a homo for 5 decades, became famous for collecting blackmail on US politicians and then have a Comey style meeting with them...”you might want to know this is out there”.
They were in on JFK. They did not know the mafia existed before Valachi sang. They deposed Nixon in a bloodless coup because Felt wanted to be the next Hoover.
It routinely lies and violates laws as they feel they “need” to and are trained to do so. They mass murdered the people in Waco. They murdered at Ruby Ridge. They murdered Finicum and lied about it. They refuse to record interviews as the demand all city police to do.
They have still done nothing about Epstein island.
They ignored the Boston Bombers, 9/11, the Pulse, etc.
And now the backflipping dancing homos shooting people in the ankle in Denver tried to overthrow the US government.
Disband them.
This is just another FBI abuse.
No.
These statue memorials are thought to be accolades, but in the longer view, they are only what we choose they are when we deploy them.
Example: at the monument to Jefferson one may note correctly all of the complexities in his life - revolutionary & patriot, author of the Declaration of Independence, President, intellectual, founder of UVa, Francophile, anti-slaver while being a slave holder, interracial lover, and chief negotiator of the magnificent Louisiana Purchase, etc. All of it true.
Same way with MLK. We are all complex; we are all imperfect. We do some things absolutely right, and some wrong. Tanking ANY monument means bowing to political correctness. No thanks; in fact, never. We must continue to showcase historical figures - warts and all. Else, how will we learn?
The monuments must stand - what we choose to learn from them is on us.
” Robert Kennedy was the attorney general; he ordered this surveillance of Martin Luther King. And everybody blames J. Edgar Hoover for this”
Nd he did it based upon J Edgar Hoover, the blackmailer, coming in and telling him he was following a communist plot. Had Bobby not done it, he knew Hoover would expose JFK having affairs.
Update the statues with thug life bling.
Do I need to say more?
Yes.
And it didn’t take just this rape allegation for me to say so.
Really don’t like that new DC monolith - what an attitude, crossed arms, looks unfinished - and ultimately looks like some kind of commie ode.
Get rid of that MLK Day and all MLK Blvds, which would be no great loss anywhere.
How’s ol’ Alveda going to handle this?
Judging people by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin, is now considered “White Supremacy”.
That’s how far left the leftists really are. “Equality” looks a whole lot like racial discrimination when you’ve been handed special favors. “White people need to die” is the new weltanschaung, apparently.
Based on what the left wants done with Civil War statues I say yes.
Excellent Point. I recently had to fill out a form for my drivers license and for the race question I wrote Human. I believe everyone should do this.
Hey, at least you’re self-aware.
The short answer is YES. To be fair in connection with the efforts to take down Robert E. Lee statues, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washinton because they had flaws in their character. MLK had worse flaws.
MLK day should be renamed "Civil Rights Day."
How do you know, was you a witness, or do you believe everything you hear>
I believe it is.
