Martin Luther King saved America

[rightwinger]

MLK was a great Republican. He contributed a lot to America. I don't think he "saved America"


God Bless MLK and his family.

Can you imagine what would have happened if blacks had decided to retaliate?
For every one of our churches that are burned...we will burn two white churches
For every black man lynched...we will lynch two whites
Businesses that refuse to serve blacks will be burned to the ground

That is how differences were resolved for centuries. By insisting on peaceful resistance, Dr King saved America

And more importantly...He saved our soul

We were not a moral country while we openly allowed second class citizens

He was an American all Americans can be proud of.

He was a Socialist, also. I wonder the tone he's face nowadays. He promoted Responsibility and content of character, and also promoted Socialism. Weird dynamics there, in that speech.

Thats odd....Douger claims he was a capitalist

He certainly had a hand in rescuing capitalism.

Martin Luther King Jr. embodied everything that is right with America, race based policies such as affirmative action embodies everything that is wrong with America.

 

[JamesInFlorida]

MLK was one of the greatest Americans of all time. Stood up for what he believed in, even though he knew he may one day pay the ultimate price. He told America a lot of what we should listen to today.

Affirmative action was a hard, but necessary first step toward opportunities for blacks

uh huh and maybe we should think about how it has turned out?

O a scale of 1-10, 10 being totally, what part do you think AA really played in getting blacks, oh, jobs?

We have more blacks in management positions, more black doctors, more black lawyers, more blacks coaching professional sports

Afirmative action laid the groundwork

 

[GHook93]

MLK made America better he didn't save it. Just as Fredrick Douglas, Reagan, Ike, etc. made the country better.

Lincoln, Washington, General Grant (not President), Thomas Jefferson, Eisenstein, FDR (for his WW II leadership and not his economic programs), General Andrew Jackson (for beating the British as New Orleans during the War of 1812)!

Cover-up: Martin Luther King Jr.

Government Cover-ups: Martin Luther King Jr.
From the World Affairs Brief:

Martin Luther King was another public figure that was assassinated for the martyr effect. As the evidence below shows, the evidence of King's corruption, womanizing and Communist sympathies, we was becoming more a liability to the Civil Rights agenda than an asset. It was only a matter of time before King's reputation would self-destruct. By engineering his death and blaming it on a supposed racist, the Powers That Be could turn MLK into a hero. With the assistance of controlled judges, they could have his records sealed and make sure the public would not have access to the real Martin Luther King.



MARTIN LUTHER KING--THE MAN BEHIND THE MEDIA MASK

Every year America endures the same propaganda media-blitz on Martin Luther King day--the false portrayal of the “Reverend” King as an American hero; a saintly, self-sacrificing religious martyr for the cause of civil rights. He was everything but that and certainly no hero that any American should look up to. I have written extensively about the defense of true civil rights, no one can accuse me of hating the cause. I say this be way of introduction in anticipation of the fury my remarks will generate among the media attempting to perpetrate this growing myth upon American culture. Everything about Martin Luther King is a fraud. Here are the real facts.


1) NAME CHANGE: MLK is really Michael King, Jr. His father was a minister and arbitrarily decided to rename himself and his son, Martin Luther King Sr. and Jr.

2) PLAGIARISM IN HIS DOCTORAL THESIS: The most complete analysis of King’s chronic plagiarism in his academic career was done by Gerry Harbison, professor of Chemistry at University of Nebraska: “In 1988, the Martin Luther King Jr. Papers Project made a discovery that shocked it to its core. The Project, a group of academics and students, had been entrusted by Coretta Scott King with the task of editing King's papers for publication. As they examined King's student essays and his dissertation, they gradually became aware that King was guilty of massive plagiarism - that is, he had copied the words of other authors word-for-word, without making it clear that what he was writing was not his own. The Project spent years uncovering the full extent of King's plagiarism. In November 1990, word leaked to the press, and they had to go public. The revelations caused a minor scandal and then were promptly forgotten.” Suppressed would be a more accurate description. The National Endowment for the Humanities actively suppressed the story in preparation for celebrating King. Its then director was Lynne Cheney, wife of the current Vice President. For the full story see Prof. Harbison’s website: http://chem-gharbison.unl.edu/mlk/plagiarism.html

3) COMMUNIST BACKGROUND AND CONTACTS: It appears that King established an early liaison with the American Communist Party and sought to create civil unrest in support of the revolution. His own biographer, David J. Garrow admitted that king once privately “described himself as a Marxist.” King constantly surrounded himself with Communists, hired them, and even went to great lengths to keep them on through secret relationships. King’s personal secretary in the 1950s was communist and homosexual Bayard Rustin. According to Sen. Jesse Helms, “King was repeatedly warned about his associations with known Communists by friendly elements in the Kennedy Administration and the Department of Justice [DOJ] (including strong and explicit warning from President Kennedy himself). King took perfunctory and deceptive measures to separate himself from the Communists [Stanley David Levison and Hunter Pitts O’Dell ] against whom he was warned. He continued to have close and secret contacts with at least some of them after being informed and warned of their background, and he violated a commitment to sever his relationships with identified Communists.”

4) IMMORAL AND ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR: Dr. King had an ample reputation as a philanderer and abuser of women of ill repute. The FBI under J. Edgar Hoover had run surveillance on King and his entourage for years attempting to gather data on his Communist connections. While the Bureau did surveill King’s attendance at Communist meetings, but most of the surveillance records show an extreme preoccupation after hours with illicit sex. In deference to King’s usefulness in promoting a national holiday for civil rights, US Federal judge John Lewis Smith, Jr. ordered all the FBI records sealed up in the National Archives for 50 years (till 2027). When I was Executive Editor of Conservative Digest, I called retired Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray and asked him what was in the evidence locked away. His answer surprised me. He said there were approximately 15 file cabinets of evidence on King--14 of them were full of recordings and transcripts of his illicit relationships with prostitutes. Only one file cabinet contained evidence of his Communist relationships.

Even former co-workers have blown the whistle on King’s scurrilous conduct. The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, in his book, And the Wall Came Tumbling Down, King spent his last night in the motel having an immoral liason with three women and then beat one of the woman in the morning before he was shot. Assistant Director of the FBI Charles D. Brennan wrote a letter to Sen. John P. East (R-NC) in which he stated that King's conduct consisted of "orgiastic and adulterous escapades, some of which indicated that King could be bestial in his sexual abuse of women." The FBI surveillance records covering his first night in Stockholm, Sweden, where he was to receive the Noble Peace Prize, document that his only interest was how to secure prostitutes for he and his entourage. An orgy followed. King’s surveillance and wiretaps were personally authorized by then Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. If these allegations are true, this man should never have been put forward as a national hero. Yes, I am aware that other national heroes have had there weaknesses, but King’s conduct borders on a Clinton-like sexual addiction.

Affirmative action bases opportunities on race primarily or in other words on the color of skin and not the content of one's character or one's abilities. I don't believe MLK ever envisioned reverse discrimination or an America where Americans of all colors felt entitlement based upon there backgrounds.

YOU may not be old enough to remember this shit, punk, but I do. Plenty of this was reported. I remember. I lived through it. There's also plenty of mention of where the facts came from. The proof is already there, and I don't give a rats ass if you believe any of it or not.

Affirmative action bases opportunities on race primarily or in other words on the color of skin and not the content of one's character or one's abilities. I don't believe MLK ever envisioned reverse discrimination or an America where Americans of all colors felt entitlement based upon there backgrounds.

Affirmative action is not fair but was a necessary step towards equal opportunity. When I started working in the late 70s there were strict affirmative action thresholds for hiring and promotions. Those thresholds led to many underqualified people being hired and promoted.

But you have to consider the times. If a white employer is offered a choice between a white and a black he would tend to favor the white candidate due to cultural familiarity and preference. White employers could always justify why blacks were not being hired. The result was a glass wall preventing blacks from being hired. Afirmative action quotas forced those arbitrary walls to be removed

Now, affirmative action is more about equal opportunities and access rather than strict numerical quotas. Afirmative action was not fair, but it did result in the increased numbers of black executives, managers, professional sports managers, doctors and lawyers

In deference to King’s usefulness in promoting a national holiday for civil rights, US Federal judge John Lewis Smith, Jr. ordered all the FBI records sealed up in the National Archives for 50 years (till 2027). When I was Executive Editor of Conservative Digest, I called retired Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray and asked him what was in the evidence locked away. His answer surprised me. He said there were approximately 15 file cabinets of evidence on King--14 of them were full of recordings and transcripts of his illicit relationships with prostitutes. Only one file cabinet contained evidence of his Communist relationships.

Even former co-workers have blown the whistle on King’s scurrilous conduct. The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, in his book, And the Wall Came Tumbling Down, King spent his last night in the motel having an immoral liason with three women and then beat one of the woman in the morning before he was shot. Assistant Director of the FBI Charles D. Brennan wrote a letter to Sen. John P. East (R-NC) in which he stated that King's conduct consisted of "orgiastic and adulterous escapades, some of which indicated that King could be bestial in his sexual abuse of women." The FBI surveillance records covering his first night in Stockholm, Sweden, where he was to receive the Noble Peace Prize, document that his only interest was how to secure prostitutes for he and his entourage. An orgy followed. King’s surveillance and wiretaps were personally authorized by then Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. If these allegations are true, this man should never have been put forward as a national hero. Yes, I am aware that other national heroes have had there weaknesses, but King’s conduct borders on a Clinton-like sexual addiction.

Damn...that J Edgar Hoover sure did a good job didn't he?

But of course, he had his own skeletons in his closet

These investigations reflect more poorly on the image of the FBI than they did on Dr King

Can you prove any of this stuff? Ill bet you cant prove half of it.

YOU may not be old enough to remember this shit, punk, but I do. Plenty of this was reported. I remember. I lived through it. There's also plenty of mention of where the facts came from. The proof is already there, and I don't give a rats ass if you believe any of it or not.

Did you research any of this email?

You didnt. You may have lived it, like myself, but you dont know the facts. Pitty.

Affirmative action was a hard, but necessary first step toward opportunities for blacks

Affirmative action bases opportunities on race primarily or in other words on the color of skin and not the content of one's character or one's abilities. I don't believe MLK ever envisioned reverse discrimination or an America where Americans of all colors felt entitlement based upon there backgrounds.

Affirmative action is not fair but was a necessary step towards equal opportunity. When I started working in the late 70s there were strict affirmative action thresholds for hiring and promotions. Those thresholds led to many underqualified people being hired and promoted.

But you have to consider the times. If a white employer is offered a choice between a white and a black he would tend to favor the white candidate due to cultural familiarity and preference. White employers could always justify why blacks were not being hired. The result was a glass wall preventing blacks from being hired. Afirmative action quotas forced those arbitrary walls to be removed

Now, affirmative action is more about equal opportunities and access rather than strict numerical quotas. Afirmative action was not fair, but it did result in the increased numbers of black executives, managers, professional sports managers, doctors and lawyers

Sure your right, when are whites going to recieve the weighted scores on their SAT scores? Since Asians score on average 50 something points higher. There is some socio-economical disadvantages that whites have to overcome, that their Asian counterparts don't have to overcome.
