Martin Luther King Day, January 20, 2020



When the Montgomery Bus Boycott began in Montgomery Alabama in December 5, 1955 I.F. Stone wrote in his Weekly newsletter, "The Negro needs a Gandhi." The Negro soon found a Gandhi in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I give Martin Luther King the title "Dr." advisedly, because:
     
"A committee of scholars appointed by Boston University concluded today that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. plagiarized passages in his dissertation for a doctoral degree at the university 36 years ago."
https://www.nytimes.com/1991/10/11/us/boston-u-panel-finds-plagiarism-by-dr-king.html

This plagiarism is difficult to  understand from the man who wrote "Letter from a Birmingham Jail,"  and who composed some of the most memorable speeches in the English language.

Martin Luther King has also been exposed as a womanizer. While this was unacceptable in a clergyman and a married man, it is somewhat easier to understand. A man with Martin Luther King's fame and charisma will face temptations most of us men do not. Martin Luther King was never accused of making unwanted sexual advances. One may reasonably assume that his advances were wanted, longed for in advance, and often solicited. At any rate he skillfully projected the image of the humble man of God, who was too good of a Christian to hate his enemies.

He did know how to bring out the worst in those enemies. His cause benefited as a result. Segregationist violence, sometimes by policemen, won national support for the civil rights movement, and contributed to the passing of civil rights legislation.

Martin Luther King welcomed the support of the American Communist Party. Nevertheless, there is to be justifiable means to achieve the millennial end."

More than any other single human being, Martin Luther King made the 1960's what they were in the  no evidence that he ever passed classified information to the Soviet government, or that he took orders from the Soviet government or the American Communist Party.

His sermon "How Should a Christian View Communism" can be found in his anthology <u>Strength to Love</u>, which I review for Amazon here:

In this sermon the Rev. Martin Luther King said:

"Communism...enunciates movingly the theory of a classless society, but alas! its methods for achieving this noble end are all too often ignoble. Lying, violence, murder, and torture are considered to be justifiable means to achieve the millennial end."

More than any other single human being, Martin Luther King made the 1960's what they were in the United States. It would have been a different decade without him.

What happens on America's Subways - Wild Assaults and Murders - Typically Featuring one Demographic

Image
 There are so many, and I mean so many news stories and videos online of assaults, and murders on the subway systems particularly New York. What is one of the common denominators? Well people can point to lots of things like poverty, mental illness, and so forth, but to me it seems like it is Black people.  An old video but still relevant nonetheless. A woman riding the training only to be almost murdered by beating without provocation by a Wakandan prince: The craziness continues: The stabbings: I could go on all day.  How people can enjoy living in a place like that, without having their own private transportation is beyond me. Isn't New York one of the most expensive cities in the world too? Slave your whole life away just to be killed by violent crime...

Private elite schools teach "wokeness" to kindergarten children

Image
 Ridiculous and unbelievable, rich people are now paying tens of thousands of dollars to send their kids to indoctrination centers where they are taught that all Whites are racist, and everything in their society like math and science is "racist". It's all just so demented.  https://nypost.com/2021/12/19/private-preschools-teaching-the-future-elite-to-be-racist/ Private preschools are teaching the future elite to be racist Wokeness has come to New York City elite private schools. It has infested everything, from social interactions to math. A few weeks ago, teachers at Manhattan’s Brick Church School read “Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race” to several classes. In its lessons on racism, all the racists are, of course, white. One typical line: “A long time ago, way before you were born, a group of white people made up an idea called race.” The idea that people didn’t notice each other’s skin color or features until white people made them is, of course, absurd. “Our ...
