More and more it's looking like MLK wasn't the saint everyone has always painted him to be.

In a recent article published in Standpoint Magazine, Pulitzer Prize-winning Martin Luther King Jr. biographer David Garrow details new information about King he discovered in FBI documents. The most damaging is that King may have witnessed – and encouraged – a sexual assault at a Washington, D.C. hotel in January 1964.

Some historians have cautioned against taking too much stock of Garrow’s findings; the FBI, after all, has a well-known track record of trying to undermine the beloved civil rights leader.

But in the ensuing controversy, one aspect of Garrow’s explosive, 7,800-word article has gone largely overlooked.

Garrow publishes content from FBI files noting that a woman named Dorothy Cotton was King’s “constant paramour.” He also details FBI wiretaps from 1964 noting that King’s wife, Coretta, “berated” him “for not spending enough time alone with her.” At the time of the phone call, according to the FBI files, King was with Dorothy at a hideaway apartment in Atlanta. Garrow, at one point in his piece, calls Cotton “the most important woman in King’s life.”

Normally this info would be trivial and largely unimportant to history. However in the wake of the me too movement we either have standards or we do not....OR...we have double standards.

Yep, if you're going to destroy mens lives for past discretions, you have to be consistent about it. I sincerely doubt however this story will resonate.

TWO MEN CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY......

1) NEVER SMOKED A DAY IN HIS LIFE, NEVER CHEATED, DRESSED PROFESSIONAL, RESPECTED HIS TYPE OF WOMEN AND LOVED HIS TYPE OF KIDS

2) THE OTHER, DRESSED LIKE A SLOB, CHEATED LIKE CRAZY ON HIS WIFE, LOVED ALL, BUT COULD GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT OF HIM

HITLER WAS NUMBER 1 AND CHURCHILL WAS NUMBER 2

WHO GOT THE BETTER OF HISTORICAL ACCOLADE?
 
It is to me as I'm sure it is to most people. Democrats may want to judge history by today's so called morality but you can count me out of that conversation.

Interesting, all this muckraking dedication to rumors about a guy who died half a century ago, while Kristin Anderson, Lisa Boyne, E. Jean Carroll, Rachel Crook, Jessica Drake, Jill Harth, Cathy Heller, Alva Johnson, Juliet Huddy, Ninni Laaksonen, Jessica Leeds, Temple Taggart McDowell, Mindy McGillivray, Jennifer Murphy, Cassandra Searles, Natasha Stoynoff, Ivana Trump, Karena Virginia and Summer Zervos are all independently just "lying".

Innit.

Partisan hacks. Such cat toys.

Believe it or not the word discretion can be used interchangeably with the word indiscretion. It's a more elite version of the noun and more likely to be used in England than it is in the United States.

I don't know if the poster intended that meaning or if he just forgot to put the IN in front of the other word.

We all know there will be little or no consistency, however. That's now how the left operates.

Still.... This is fascinating!

It's time for a mini series that will rival
Roots!

Current Events?

The realization that an American legend who has spawned a historical legend... May never have been told accurately and is just now coming to light.... Is a major current event to usurp and overtake all current events. This is huge not because of its political taint but because it would be very important to fully understand the man and the story behind him.

The present is composed of many things.
1968 looks and feels like a long time ago.
But then again so does 1868... And yet the subject of reparations was never more alive than it is today.

If there's any legitimacy to this biographer's claim that Dorothy cotton was the most important woman in Martin Luther King's life the public is indeed being cheated out of a rich source of information about who the man was and what his personal trials may have been.

This kind of past event is always present.
