Yet, he was willing to lose everything, including his life. He often walked at the head of peaceful demonstrations, putting his own life in jeaporady. And eventually, it did catch up with him. He wasn’t stupid either, he knew the danger. But, he chose to carry that burden voluntarily, hoping to change hearts and minds with an example, and not through violence. Would you’ve walked in his place, HH?
I’ve heard the plagiarism charge, which seems believable. However, the other stuff you mention seems like, “I got it from this one guy who heard it from another…” Or, “This guy heard a tape with something terrible being said, and then he told someone else, who then reported it. But, alas, no tape to be made public.”
I don’t hold him to Saint-hood, as some do. But, with some of these charges, he’s earned himself the benefit of the doubt, in my not even close to humble opinion.[/quote]
How is a memoir written by his best bro ‘one guy heard from another’? Are FBI tapes fakes?
No, I wouldn’t walk down streets in his place because I don’t believe that hearts can be changed by intimidation. The purpose of the marches was to frighten rich white libs into giving payola (the Great Society Program) to huge groups of ignorant people. Racism ends when there is no cause for it. Marching in the streets and rioting, burning down white businesses, just pisses people off and teaches the rioters that they can get what they want as an ugly mass.
We’ve spent trillions of dollars following Dr. King’s policies. What did we get for the money? Take a walk through any inner city high school and you’ll see. Walk 6 blocks west of Obama’s Chicago home on a Friday evening in July. If you live, report back.
