I agree with you that he was a great man!
The problem I have with is the fact that the family wants to omit the part that he was a womanizer....you can not do that and deliver a good and true bio....in that sense I agree with Oliver Stone point of view.... show the man warts and all.
100% correct.
Let the race haters and cowards wail and flail and fail all they want.
Warts and all!
So the new rule is that a person's personal flaws and dark secrets are A-OK as long as their politics are acceptable.
Got it.

George Washington was a slave owner and tried to seduce his neighbor's wife.
Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner and had relations and children with and by his dead wife's slave half-sister.
Abraham Lincoln was not even a Deist but believed a Doom or Destiny that operated beyond the horizons of history.
Strom Thurmond was a racist who seduced black housekeepers and had children whom he hid from the public view.
Yet all of these men made positive contributions to American history.
MLK Jr is given the same pass.
And all the whining of the race haters like Marty and Publius means nothing, since they are dying off and not being replaced.
Good riddance to rubbish.

The difference is you can talk about the earlier examples and not expect the house to come down on you.
Try that with MLK or any recent progressive hero.
And I fucking dare you to find a post where I can be called a "race hater"

Yes, Jefferson is recognized for his great contributions, yes, the evidence between the DNA and Fawn McKay Brodie's work with the plantation registers is, indeed, quite conclusive.
Since then, a committee commissioned by the Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society, after reviewing essentially the same material, reached different conclusions, namely that Sally Hemings was only a minor figure in Thomas Jefferson's life and that it is very unlikely he fathered any of her children. This committee also suggested in its report, issued in April 2001 and revised in 2011, that Jefferson's younger brother Randolph (1755-1815) was more likely the father of at least some of Sally Hemings's children.

You, like Publius, are a low information ignorant tool of the far right reactionary wing nut brigade.
I talked negatively of MLK's faults above and the house did not fall in.
And anyone can audit your posts and conclude you are a race hater and somehow think we can go back and things will be good in America.
We are moving forward into an ever more diverse and plural America; your dislike of that will change nothing.
Marty, your attacks, your comments in this thread, and your posting history conclusively leads even a low intelligent person like you to conclude you are a racialist. Even if you do it in the cause of culture, that does not remove your racialist bias.
Yes, Marty, you are "one of the prime sources of nonsense on this board" when you buy into the crap trap of someone like Publius.
Whether here or in the Flame Zone, your racialism can't hide.
That you can't give a balanced discussion of King's merits and faults displays your inherit racialism.
So you don't get "just once more", racialist.
