Tucker had a vid about his corruption by another black preacher with a bunch of stuff that was known but has been heavily suppressed by the MSM. the question arises should the FBI have killed him? i believe they did and that is in danger of coming out-LOL. i don't think that is a good precedent seeing as how the FBI is and has been weaponized against anyone not on the deep stages page.
Yeah, I have a different view than some. I always saw him as a true believer and committed to the Civil Rights movement. He started to have socialist leanings because they fit with some of his Utopian views. But he wasn't a commie. Hoover despised him (and was racist as hell, in addition to being a cross-dressing Peter Puffer)... and was utterly against the Civil Rights movement. So tapped him, collected dirt... and, yes, spied on his affairs. King wasn't a saint. Who is?
The people I regard as lower than whale shit at the bottom of the Marianas trench were his immediate Acolytes... People like Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and a whole coterie of race-baiting garbage who turned his legacy into far left identity politics. All while riding his dead coat-tails into huge bank accounts and a penchant for blackmailing anyone and everyone to increase their power and bank accounts. King had really poor taste in picking members of his inner circle. Or maybe he didn't pick them? Maybe he was stuck with them because (as they do with everything and have for 60 years) they stuck their noses in the trough and would not take it out.
No.... I think King was the real thing. Same as Malcolm-X. Who was all about bootstrapping and 'separation' which would lead to independence and success for the black community.
Remember that the FBI has re-written a lot of history to make those they persecute look bad. You know, like the evil white supremacists and veterans and patriots who they have turned into 'The greatest domestic threat in America' while ignoring leftist pieces of shit who burn cities and have pallets of bricks delivered to them... Oh and laptops, Russia Hoaxes and, of course, shooting people and burning their churches when a non-kinetic approach would have sufficed. But, hey, not TV-worthy.
So maybe I'm Naif. But I am pretty sure that had King lived, the 'identity politics' mess would have been put off or avoided.
And look at his daughters (and late wife) who were sort of 'Kennedy-level' conservatives. Liberal at the time, but by today's standards, they'd be to the right of Atilla the Hun.
That's why I'll respectfully disagree with the legacy of King as a commie or a POS. I think he was the real deal. And in almost every way that counts, on the right side of history. Which took a nasty turn after the Long Hot Summer and because of a dumber-than-a-stump POS with a deer rifle.
But that's just me.
