Charlie Kirk discusses the MLK myth

Llike I care. Trump is a racist and some symbbolic act doesn't change that.
Nobody is a racist simply because you say they are. You just WANT him to be perceived as a racist because, in your puny brain, it gives you someone to blame your inadequacies on. Let's face facts: Black culture has failed. You should have assimilated. In fact, you still can. We just have to get all the racist scum like you out of the way first.
 
hmmm. . . for some reason, they deleted a link. Well, to the Wayback.

The troubling legacy of Martin Luther King​

You would think that one of these women would have come forward in all these years.
 
It was going to happen sooner or later. You can't hide the truth forever. The American public has been hoodwinked long enough.

---Who was MLK? A myth has been created and it has grown totally out of control," Kirk posted on X on Monday morning. "While he was alive most people disliked him, yet today he is the most honored, worshipped, even deified person of the 20th century Today we are going to tell the truth and explain how this myth was born."---

---"Ask yourself, why is exposing the flaws of MLK's life and character — something he said we should judge others by — so controversial? Has America become more colorblind, and merit based the more we have worshipped King?"---

Martin Luther King was a flawed human being as all human beings are. A redeemed sinner who sought to do good, not evil. We do not have to agree with every position he took on everything in order to appreciate that he had it right that non violent persuasion was the best way to end racism, and not race riots or SJW militancy and shouting and self-serving opportunism that keeps racism alive and well in America.

I use the analogy that racism ends when we see skin color as of no more importance than eye or hair color. MLK used the analogy that racism ends when we judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

A summary of the MLK doctrine of non violence:
King’s notion of nonviolence had six key principles:
--First, one can resist evil without resorting to violence.
--Second, nonviolence seeks to win the “friendship and understanding” of the opponent, not to humiliate him (King, Stride, 84).
--Third, evil itself, not the people committing evil acts, should be opposed.
--Fourth, those committed to nonviolence must be willing to suffer without retaliation as suffering itself can be redemptive
-- Fifth, nonviolent resistance avoids “external physical violence” and “internal violence of spirit” as well: “The nonviolent resister not only refuses to shoot his opponent but he also refuses to hate him” (King, Stride, 85). The resister should be motivated by love in the sense of the Greek word agape, which means “understanding,” or “redeeming good will for all men” (King, Stride, 86).
--The sixth principle is that the nonviolent resister must have a “deep faith in the future,” stemming from the conviction that “The universe is on the side of justice” (King, Stride, 88).

MLK preached a strong doctrine of replacing hate with Christian love:

And in the midst of it, MLK worked tirelessly to end the injustices of Jim Crow laws. Jailed on trumped up charges, it would be JFK who ordered his release. And it was almost certainly MLK's popularity and influence that prompted LBJ's 1964 Civil Rights Act that ended institutional racism once and for all whatever unintended negative consequences came from that.

I have no problem with MLK being honored for his place in the history of America even though racists of all colors ignore his philosophy and still work to promote racist ideas and policy for their own self interests.

You can't "come forward," or speak out. . . if you are dead.

You play innocent, but IMO? I think you know how the game is played.

Racists of all colors my ass. You don't know his philosophy and only white racists ttry distorting his philosophy to maintain white racial advantage.

King did advocate nonviolence, but he did not support shut up and take it. His nonviolence plan was about direct action and confrontation. Dr. King’s nonviolence campaign consisted of six steps:

STEP ONE: INFORMATION GATHERING. Identify the issues in your community and/or school in need of positive change. To understand the issue, problem or injustice facing a person, community, or institution, you must increase your understanding of the problem. Your investigation should include all sides of the issue and may include formal research and listening to the experiences of others.

STEP TWO: EDUCATE OTHERS. It is essential to inform others, including your opposition, about your issue. In order to cause change, the people in the community must be aware of the issue and understand its impact. By educating others you will minimize misunderstanding and gain support and allies.

STEP THREE: PERSONAL COMMITMENT. Check and affirm your faith in the philosophy and methods of nonviolence. Causing change requires dedication and long hours of work. Meet with others regularly to stay focused on your goal. Prepare yourself to accept sacrifices, if necessary, in your work for justice.

STEP FOUR: NEGOTIATIONS. Using grace, humor and intelligence, confront the individuals whom need to participate in this change. Discuss a plan for addressing and resolving these injustices. Look for what is positive in every action and statement the opposition makes. Do not seek to humiliate the opponent but call forth the good in the opponent. Look for ways in which the opponent can become an ally.
STEP FIVE: DIRECT ACTION. These are actions taken to convince others to work with you in resolving the injustices. Direct action imposes a “creative tension” into the conflict. Direct action is most effective when it illustrates the injustice it seeks to correct. There are hundreds of direct action, including:• Boycotts --- refusal to buy products• Marches and rallies• Letter-writing and petition campaigns• Political action and voting• Public art and performance.

STEP SIX: RECONCILIATION. Nonviolence seeks friendship and understanding. Nonviolence does not seek to defeat the opponent. Nonviolence is directed against evil systems, oppressive policies, and unjust acts, not against persons.

It's pathetic that you violate almost every point of MLK doctrine though, huh.

After 58 years there would be something. A name of the woman who he watched getting rraped and laughed at for example. During all these years one of those women would have written a book, or got an interview and she would have made a huge sum of money. I do know how the game is played and this is it. I think what really happened was that King had some one night stands and white racists have exaggerated. We all kknow that King committed adultery. But white racists have been calling him a communist for 60 years. Meanwhile the man who wrote the Declaraation of Independence raped a female slave for years. And he wasn't the only founder to do this.

I don't do that. Again you don't know what Kings doctrine is. What I am doing here is the definition of direct confrontation. To you, somebody like Thomas Sowell embodies Kings philosophy. What Ssowell does is not even close.
 
Martin Luther King had more influence on the 1960's than anyone else. It would have been a different decade without him.

He had a gift for bringing out the worst in his enemies. He did it while projecting the image of a humble man of God who was too much of a Christian to hate those enemies.

Southern segregationists harmed their own cause by responding violently to civil rights demonstration. If they had responded to the civil rights demonstrates with calm forbearance, while waiting for the black ghetto riots to begin in Northern cities,I doubt the civil rights legislation would have been passed into law.

Neosegregationists use his image and twist his message as opportunity to maintain segregation. There’s lots of money in race hustling. The NAACP, et al, learned a valuable lesson from the Negro Leagues; integration is bad for business.
And history demonstrates that King, had he lived, would have become nothing more than another Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.
 
I read your posts. You embody almost everything MLK was against.
You don't know anythiing about King and don't post that one sentence you racists always use. King would be agreeing with everything I say.

Wrong. Tell us what Kings message was.

I don't think MLK would EVER have been another Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. I don't agree with MLK (or anybody else 100% for that matter) on every single point or issue, but the man was very right in much of his point of view. He deserves his place in history.
