“Bombshell” best describes David Garrow’s lengthy piece “The Troubling Legacy of Martin Luther King.” The article not only obliterates what we think we know about one of the most beloved figures in American history, it, like a bombshell, hurts people. This includes the many admirers of Martin Luther King but also the various figures, including alleged paramours still alive, named in the article.
The manner in which the government assembled the derogatory information on King — gathered with the approval of Democratic officials, including Attorney General Robert Kennedy, all feigning support for the civil rights leader — sickens in a literal sense. Using King’s association with various figures involved

Hmm. Parallels to the other past that no one wants to know about - BarackHussein's - are purely coincidental...

With the exception of the watched rape, this is all old news that has been hinted at since the mid '60s. Why is this brought up now?

King was ahead of his time - today these allegations would be looked on as resume’ enhancers in the democrat party....

The left and the blacks won’t care - they abandoned his message a couple of decades ago. Now, the only thing that matters is skin color. Character? Not at all.

One only needs to look at AOC to see that the democrats will embrace anyone that has a following.

King's namesake streets and statues are traumatizing.They should go now!
Can I say I'll bring the rope?

Yeah, well most of us knew about him a long time ago. Let them have their hero, along with O.J. Simpson, if these are the best they can come up with. No hero to me. Just stop tearing down our historical monuments just because they were white men!!

These days, Martin Luther King is portrayed as someone who was roundly and soundly loved by all. That never was the case. Many, many saw him as a hypocrite of the first order, one who consorted with Communists. As others have mentioned, his womanizing was well known by anyone who was paying attention. He was never saint material. Of course, it came out later that he was also a plagiarizer. The rape thing is new information. The streets with his name being found in the most dangerous parts of town is a fitting legacy. But none of this matters to the blacks and Dems. They want to take down statues of Marse Robert and erect statues to the likes of King and similar swindlers and miscreants. Today's measuring stick for decency is bowed and corkscrewed.

I got so sick of Hannity’s saying “The 99% of FBI agents are good......”. They were doing the same thing to innocent Americans back then. Sorry, I have come to believe the whole bureau is dirty.

This is not new information. We knew about this in the 1960s

"And if King sat by while a “forcible rape” took place in front of him, what does it say about the law enforcement officers who sat idly by in a nearby room? "
What? This would blow the entire operation by tipping King off that he was being watched. As Whoopie says, it probably wasn't rape rape. Just a little fun being had by religious hypocrites preaching peace and love.
I have not yet seen any articles by blacks who are disillusioned by their one and only hero. Go ahead, tear down the white statues all over the country but give your guy a pass. Every MLK street sign we see will remind us of what we are dealing with here.
Ironically, Bobby Kennedy's family was just as bad, including getting away with murder.

I am no disciple of King. I don't hate him, of course. But I am not follower. His behavior -- if the information in this article is accurate -- disgusts me. But it isn't much different from the behavior of the Clintons (both Bill and Hill) and the Kennedys (too numerous to name individually here).
Did King's behavior ever result in the death of someone? The Clintons' (plural possessive) and the Kennedys' (again plural possessive) behavior did. At least King has that going for him: No death (not that I am aware of).

#17, King's behavior likely resulted in his own death. Ray's excuse for shooting King was that he could not accept the fact that King was seen in a motel with a white woman. That could have been part of the FBI coverup of course but that was the reason given.

Only the willfully ignorant, and the propagandized young folks are not already aware
of all of this. Any person who was around at the time, and had an open mind and open
eyes and ears was already well aware of these "bombshell" discoveries.
Only because the Dems sainthood efforts after his assassination was a lot of this
well known information swept under the rug.
I was NEVER a fan of the man, personally, he was despicable in much of his personal
life. On the other hand, sometimes he SAID things which were very right, very true and
very good. I cannot tell, in fact, nobody will ever be able to tell, if he actually believed
the words he said. Perhaps he didn't even believe them, being what he was.
But many of the lines from his "I have a dream" speech are very good things, and much
of it is things that are worth striving for. Of course, those were totally jettisoned by the
black grievance industry after his death. The LAST thing they want today is "to be
judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin".
They LOVE racism - but they want it turned around to benefit them, not the old bad way
when it harmed them. BOTH kinds of racism are equally wrong and bad.

Again, why NOW? Why, now, when those of us who were around during the Civil Rights heyday were aware back then that all was not well? Why now, when this material was set for release in eight years?
Because the leftist race/grievance industry wants to throw that inconvenient "content of their character" stuff overboard and get on with quotas. reparations, and perpetual grievance. King had to go.

It’s easy as US racial politics has served to deny a lot of reality on both sides of the issue.

Michael King, Jr. (as he was born) probably got a lot of black people killed as a result of his purposeful rejection of obtaining a permit for peaceable assembly from the many towns he instigated riots in. His M.O. was to put women and children in the front of the march, while the punk black males would be in the middle hurling bricks and stones at the police line... which would NOT have been there had he taken out a permit! When the police started slinging the batons the assembled TV cameras would broadcast white cops defending themselves against po' black womun and chiren doin' da mah-ch. Of course this was raw meat for the cult-followers of Walter Cronkite observing this. While his disgusting womanizing and sexual peccadilloes are awful enough for a "man of the cloth," his most heinous crimes were treasonous activity coordinating with Communist Moscow. Does anyone want to talk about Russian collusion?? It was all there, and J. Edgar Hoover had all the evidence.

MLK's niece is conservative and is against abortion on demand. Also MLK preached that the races should love each other and try to get along!

I considered him a hero in my youth. If this was made public would there have been desegregation, busing? I don't think so...so disheartening.

What did Barry Goldwater know? He was the villain of the piece back then.
