I Admire Martin Luther King Jr

I also admire MLK for his work in racial reconciliation. But he was not the man to look up to when it came to marital fidelity. The night before he was killed , he was in that hotel room with prostitutes. Dont take my word for it. Look up what his friend Ralph Abernathy said about it. He was also mentored politically by communists. I dont post this to be negative, but to let people know that there is more than one side to many famous people. JFK himself warned MLK to stay away from the communists. Again, dont take my word for it.

I don't take your word for it. It sounds like racist slander to me. What are your sources?

@GrinNude I’m not racist in the least. I heard it from trusted sources years ago. Like I said, do your own searching.

It's interesting to consider the extent to which we should allow what we judge or suspect to be a person's faults, to prevent us from admiring other aspects of their personality, or any of their real accomplishments.

But it's not in the nature of racists and political or other ideologists to ask themselves such questions.
