Quite a few posters here proudly paid lip service to MLK in typical, politically correct fashion. But what is the truth? Is MLK the saint, the second coming
of christ, the perfection of mankind that his lemming-tributaries propose?
Certainly, labels such as "hero," "crusader," "champion of equality and revered leader for freedom" abound when paying homage to the deity of MLK. Any criticism, even the slightest, gets labeled racism and bigotry and hatred (no direct accusation to Mentalist there - just observation).
So, shall we?
Myth #1: King wanted only equal rights, not special privileges and would have opposed affirmative action, quotas, reparations, and the other policies pursued by today’s civil rights leadership.
Gosh, how liberally cosmopolitan! How sanitary! The paragon of political correctness! HORSESHIT, I say. Consider:
King was a firm advocate of quotas and racial set-asides. In his book Where Do We Go From Here, he suggested that "A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for him, to equip him to compete on a just and equal basis." To do this he expressed support for quotas.
King was even an early supporter of massive "reparations," even though all the former slaves were dead. In his 1964 book, Why We Can’t Wait, he wrote,
"No amount of gold could provide an adequate compensation for the exploitation and humiliation of the Negro in America down through the centuries…Yet a price can be placed on unpaid wages. The ancient common law has always provided a remedy for the appropriation of a the labor of one human being by another. This law should be made to apply for American Negroes. The payment should be in the form of a massive program by the government of special, compensatory measures which could be regarded as a settlement in accordance with the accepted practice of common law."
How odious. But this is the "great American hero."
Myth #2: King was an American patriot, who tried to get Americans to live up to their founding ideals.
This is what we are taught to believe, and doom on you and your grandchildren if anyone dare suggests otherwise. HORSESHIT.
King believed "our nation was born in genocide," and claimed that the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were meaningless for blacks because they were written by slave owners.
Myth #3: King was a Christian activist whose struggle for civil rights is similar to the battles fought by the Christian Right today.
Great christian minister! All about love! What a hero! HORSESHIT.
King denied the bodily resurrection of Jesus. Certainly not a christian, but rather a communist using religion as part of his opiate schtick.
What a charlatan.
Myth #4: King was an anti-communist who supported the free market.
After all, he was American and only wanted kumbaya-equality, right? He was the perfection of all mankind and appropriately black because blacks are superior. Right? He just wanted the system to be fair, right? HORSESHIT.
In a speech in front of his staff in 1966 he said,
You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry… Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong…with capitalism… There must be a better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a Democratic Socialism.
Godless, hating the constitution, racist, demanding reparations... fucking commie.
Myth #5: MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech was the most beautiful and eloquent KUMBAYA moment of American history.
It makes us all weep. It makes women wet. It makes white men wish they had thought of something so touching that they could make all the women wet. King was a genius. HORSESHIT.
King PLAGIARISED that speech.
Fucking phony.
Meanwhile, Americans dutifully recite the standard, politically correct horseshit about MLK to make him a hero. It feels so good, doesn't it? Who cares what the truth is? Just keep sucking at the black cock of sainthood that the media has bestowed.
Don't want to go against the groupthink, now do we?
