Yeah, yeah, yeah…MLKjr was a womanizer. He plagiarized. And that is truly reprehensible.
Jefferson owned slaves and impregnated one of them. Also reprehensible.

But those same triggered folks, asking us consider the context of slave-ownership, pig-pile on MLKjr’s sins. Sure, he didn’t found America. But he generally worked toward - and succeeded in - making this nation greater…which is more than can be said for the cognitively-dissonant.
