AOF: No revelations. But it’s good to have Gonzalez on the case.

Pedro's illegal people--from south of the border-- have probably raped a l m o s t as many US citizens as MLK's brood did in the 1960s/70s(sarcasm).Call it a tie--give or take a few thousand.

Pedro Gonzalez is not a Mexican. He was born in Spain and grew up in the United States.
Thanks Pedro.

“Operation Breadbasket,”
Jesse Jackson was big in this regard. Shake-down efforts. You hire so many blacks and we will not picket and intimidate your business.
Btw,I found this tweet--sent by the aforementioned Pedro L Gonzales.
Pedro L. Gonzalez@emeriticus1) I'm Mexican, you're not, so your opinion is garbage. Sorry, these are your rules!

MLK bashing, whether warranted/supported or not, has never gotten much mainstream traction because there are two different things: 1) MLK as a person, and 2) the cause he espoused (perhaps nominally or even hypocritically espoused, in the minds of some).
The media has largely successfully preserved MLK's holy persona by ignoring 1), while just as successfully focusing on 2).
At this point in time, continuing to try to expose MLK's personal (including sexual) and political (i.e. he was a communist who was controlled by communists) flaws seems like the pursuit of a relatively meaningless 'gotcha', something you see a good deal of on the conservatard Right -- after all, he has been dead for more than half a century now, and even if somehow, e.g. via new revelations, someone manages to seriously damage the MLK cult of personality, it won't do much to diminish the perceived validity of the cause he espoused -- it will just come off/be portrayed as mean-spirited character assassination.
But like I suggested, conservatards are generally too dumb to see that -- they have an obsession with finding these 'gotchas'.
"MLK bashing, whether warranted/supported or not, has never gotten much mainstream traction because there are two different things: 1) MLK as a person, and 2) the cause he espoused..."
Considering how evil the cause MLK espoused was and is, I see that as a distinction without a difference. His defenders must immunize themselves against all facts regarding both issues.
>Considering how evil the cause MLK espoused was and is
To the extent that the cause would be defined as securing equal treatment for Blacks before the law, I don't think you will find too many people who would agree with your 'evil' take, or see it as reasonable.
I wasn't around during the Civil Rights era, and have not done much research into it -- but I'm willing to accept the above as a roughly accurate characterization of the 'cause' -- the roots of that problem go all the way to back to Reconstruction, including/especially the amendments passed during Reconstruction.
But I definitely do see forcing Whites, particularly future generations of Whites, to share a polity with a large, and largely dysfunctional, black population as a kind of 'evil' -- it obviously doesn't work, and will never work -- the genetic differences between Whites and Blacks are too great, and irremediable -- this is now very clear.
I still see focusing on MLK's foibles, whatever they were, in an attempt to impugn his character, and thereby discredit him personally, as pointless.
