Don't forget MLK, who surrounded himself with members of the Communist Party USA.

His advisors were Communist, he was a womanizer and he has been, 98 percent of the time, made out to be way more than what he was.


Statistically, too, high crime rates occur in areas with an MLK-named street.

It's like the honor system, it would be great if there wasn't someone ****ing it up for everyone, and since your only protection is the honor system their ****up has the potential to be much worse.

A street name has NOTHING to do with the violence that may occur there. Hell, a street could be named "Peace" and shootings could occur there every day.

I tottally agree, we had to read a book that was set back in the 50's or something, the racism in it was absilloutly awefull, i would hate if we were still living in such racism

Your post absolutely disgusted me! Martin Luther King Jr. happens to be my hero. If it weren't for him and the things he did, my parents would have never been allowed to marry and I wouldn't even be here right now.

Did you just provide the Honorabl Coalition with a link to a forum board? Writing on a forum board gives you no credibility. I am not impressed you simply argued about MLK at another forum board. You are a moron. You still have not provided me with proof contrary to the fact that the FBI could never prove MLK was a member or had direct contact with the communist party.

You know, a group of (who I thought were) friends kept pushing it and pushing it ...until finally I put them in their place:

wadingo, what a sell-out way to make a stand. Come on, doesn't the fact that MLK hung around card-carying members of the Communist Party USA affect you in some way?

I guess you are who you hang with.

Lol...MLK was a good person but since there's a coalition out there defending MLK against any attacks and one of the key members is called Bushsupporter, I will side with Joey on this one...

Don't get me wrong...MLK was good and all but Bush...nah...

Hey...Don't bash me or anythin' I know it's a stupid reason to side against MLK but I feel stupid right now, k?

Thank you bushsupporter. With the help of a few key players - [B]especially bushsupporter[B] - I would not have been able to dismantle the sad arguements against MLK and lead the people with integrity to victory.

*This post and all other posts on this board in defense of the accusation of lies against MLK have been deemed racist free by the colaition of Bushsupporter and Marine16*

Marine's leadership on this board cannot go unnoticed. Good job marine, you and other who supported you have put joey back in his place. Go write an article about this joey. You can't because it wouldn't be printed. It is all lies and speculation all wrapped up in a racist package. You have once again lost your credibility.

MLK was never a card carrying communists. He was associated with communists, but according the McArhty so was the US Army.

"Despite extensive surveillance, the FBI was never able to find any direct funding or other links between King and the Communist party."
<http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/m/mlk.htm>

I am still waiting for proof about MLK streets having higher crime rates than other streets. I would also like proof that he was made out to be more than he was 98% of the time (I am looking for an actual stastic.).

Supporting MLK is certainly not synonymous with supporting communism. I have heard that his speech writer was a communist card carrier but who you associate with does not determine who you are. After all, George Bush had to know some coke dealers at some point Smile

WHy would Communists be interested in civil rights? Aren't civil - or individual - rights common in a republic?

So why would MLK, if he was so great, be associating himself with Communists? Card-carrying members at that!

Blacks had their rights to begin with, but the democracy-mob-rule-majority at the time said they shouldn't be equal.

Maybe all of you should go and make sure you're supportive of the right government system. I'm not saying MLK was totally bad, but Communists?

You're right Jookly everyone should be able to respect the equality MLK strived for and achieved. but sadly certain people do not respect that, and many of them have posted on this board.

What kind of a person would try to make themselves look better by insulting MLK, the champion of the civil rights movement?

I think MLK was a great man. He promoted equal treatment of people, that is something that everyone should be able to respect.
