No thread on him? It's his day!

He's cool.

Martin Luther King was a pretty great guy. America used to make pretty great men

Can we make America great again?

Maybe. Do we need more coal jobs?

I hope not.

"War on Cohl" hicks are holding this country back.

WE

Bait

He was a good guy. Serious about obtaining civil rights but never anti-white. His problem wasn't just that blacks were denied their rightful freedoms but the amount of needless enmity that racism created between people.

whites back then: MLK and his so called "non-violent" protests are the reason the KKK is resurgent! He's the real racist! He's a communist and hates America!

whites now: Why can't BLM be more like MLK jr?

He did a pretty good job for an Uncle Tom

You do know Mike King (there is no "dr." -- Boston University officially determined he plagiarized his thesis but refused to do anything about it). Also, there are FBI tapes from the night before his death from inside his hotel, with the sound of glasses clinking and, quote: "I'm f--king for God!" and "I ain't no negro tonight!"

If anyone doesn't believe any of this, I'd be happy to provide the sources.

Honestly, no one cares

>he plagiarized his thesis
>it's a theology thesis
and nothing of value was lost.

Make me

I recognize this paragraph, it's from that Stormfront website that has the name Martin Luther King Jr.urg or .com or something

Nope, actually from "Newsweek magazine"

>no one cares
I'd expect nothing less on here.

Noted plagiarist

>It's his day
Uh, no. It's Robert E. Lee Day.

I think we can solve the worth energy crisis by attaching magnetic coils to his grave.

Don't thread on him.

wtf we need to scrap the civil rights act now!

here's some new info on his..colorful past. and it's not from Stormfront! fancy that!
Mrs King said she believed her husband was ‘no saint’ - but his but his faults were things like stepping out of his pajamas and leaving them on the floor.

The FBI did not share her views and at a press conference in 1964 its director Herbert Hoover called Dr King the ‘most notorious liar in the country’.

A few days later one of his deputies, William Sullivan, wrote a vicious letter to King and gave it to an agent in Miami to post to him in Atlanta.

It became known as the ‘suicide letter’ and called him ‘filthy’ and ‘abnormal’ and urged him to take his own life.

Most important thing he ever said.

happy birthday is a pretty dope song tbqh

you need to post on Veeky Forums more often.. nigga

And it never happened LOL. Thank you lefties.

Is it true that MLK was turning into a socialist when he was murdered?

How credible are the rumors of state conspiracy?

>How credible are the rumors of state conspiracy
There's no evidence for it and the assassin's had no connection which seems to discredit the theory. The largest evidence people like to put forward was the civil trial the King family had against the U.S. government regarding a state conspiracy to kill King because of a book which did not contain any sources claimed that it was true. The judge ruled in favor of King on a technicality: The U.S. government failed to even show up because of how ridiculous the claim was. Keep in mind this was a civil trial, not a criminal one, and has no real claim on whether or not the U.S. government did anything because it has no authority on the matter. A Department of Justice investigation into the matter actually investigated the case and found that the King family's claims were completely unfounded and the author of the aforementioned book admitted that he made the whole thing up. Add on the fact that King was a very public and not very protected individual, it's easy to see how a poor Southern white guy could just shoot him after he walked out of his hotel room. Shit, some poor Southern white guys straight up executed Medgar Evars, the head of the NAACP, in his fucking drive way.

>‘most notorious liar in the country’.

He denied communist involvement in the Civil Rights movement despite surrounding himself with avowed communists. That couldn't be a more baldfaced lie.

Coretta Scott King also covered for him in his rampant intellectual piracy, so in a sense, they're birds of a feather.

I wish King hadn't been assassinated. Time would eventually prove him to be a massive fraud.

Why are his anti-war stance and left-wing economic views almost completely ignored today whenever he's celebrated?

>He denied communist involvement in the Civil Rights movement despite surrounding himself with avowed communists. That couldn't be a more baldfaced lie.
And yet the FBI monitored the hell out of him and found no evidence of direct involvement from the American Communist Party or the Soviets. Really makes you think.

>And yet the FBI monitored the hell out of him and found no evidence of direct involvement from the American Communist Party or the Soviets. Really makes you think.

If it makes you a Nazi merely to surround yourself with Nazis, then MLK was a communist purely by dint of cramming his entourage with communists. His longtime advisor and secretary Bayard Rustin was an organizer of the Young Communist League. His speechwriter, book editor, event organizer, PR handler, tax advisor, and fundraising kingpin Stanley David Levison was a Communist Party USA leader in the 1950s who reportedly received huge subsidies from the Soviets. King also openly decried the “capitalists of the West,” things such as “profit motives and property rights,” and encouraged his listeners to “question the capitalistic economy.”

What's the deal with Martin Luthers and ruining everything?

>If it makes you a Nazi merely to surround yourself with Nazis
but it doesn't. King took help where he could get it.

>King also openly decried the “capitalists of the West,” things such as “profit motives and property rights,” and encouraged his listeners to “question the capitalistic economy.”
What else would you expect when it was under capitalism that the injustices he was fighting had thrived? Money is the root of all evil, after all. Doesn't mean he was a communist or that le great proletarian revolution was on the agenda.

>Money is the root of all evil, after all.
Opinion discarded.

Come back when you've abandoned these retarded moralistic platitudes.

"I am not, never have been, and never could be a communist. Communism promotes a moral relativism and metaphysical materialism that I just can not abide."

He btfo of communists. But people still accuse him of being one.

Source? Google returns nothing.

Posting from phone, hopefully this link works for you. If not, searching "mlk interview part 3" ought to bring it up.

google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tvB5a9_XJ3I&ved=0ahUKEwiQzpufusfRAhVHxGMKHTCBBG4QwqsBCBwwAA&usg=AFQjCNFO3njphC-PjKREXS9tn-ktYO9b2g

Quote is around 7:00 of the video. Been a long time since I'd seen the interview, so I didn't get the quote exactly right from memory. Very close though. You can see for yourself. I think it's a great line and have no idea why it isn't well known.

Thanks for that.

At the very least, it can be reasonably inferred he was a Christian Socialist. Keep in mind the second Red Scare was still quite fresh in people's minds, so coming out as a Communist would be career suicide.

Let's not forget "kiddie diddler".

Why does this guy have a federal holiday again?

Nigger should have been shot way sooner.

>I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
too bad the two are correlated and genetics is a real thing

>inb4 "he is so whitewashed and watered down" complaints from marxist fanboys that pollute humanities departments everywhere

>melanin=behavior
This is what /pol/ users actually believe.

>there is no biological difference between whites and blacks other than melanin

Reminder American history is miniscule in the scale of human recorded history

Reminder black history is only a sliver of that.

Reminder Veeky Forums is the containment board for Veeky Forums reject threads such as:

>Rome v Han roleplay
>anglo-germanic autism wars
>china shitposting

etc

That's why there's little to no interest in MLK and theres literally nothing wrong with it

But that's what you were implying.

>guy
>men
>negro
Try again

No, MLK was implying that and user was building off of it

Ahhh kang day..
the celebration of some guy who said he had a dream instead of any long term sustainable plan and fucked over both blacks and whites in one life time, truly an American hero.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

Reminder that only the fattest lil' contrarians hate him.

Same tier as people that hate Washington, and Charlemagne tbqh

>HOLY

>ROMAN?
>EMPIRE?

>endure years of the FBI trying to make you out to be a pervert homofag

MLK Jr had balls of steel. If that happened to me, I would've lost my shit and castrated some FBI fucks.

MLK never implied that either...

Why does the british guy look like a slav from that one slav picture.

Brits are island Slavs according to Kaysee.

Underrated post

Malcolm X > MLK
MLK was a Zionism supporter.

>whites now
I'm white and I'm more like "why are there even niggers an America". I don't care which faggot is their current role model, they just shouldn't be here. It would benefit both us and them.

Because the British and Early Americans literally imported boatloads of them. How the fuck did someone think that was a good idea?

>Money is the root of all evil, after all
Nah, Money's just ability to buy material goods and improve material conditions. Nothing evil about that, just a means of credit.

>British, Americans and Jews
FTFY

It was a fucking tragedy if you ask me, importing loads of hyper violent, unintegratable people just so a handful of rich fucks can make some more cash.

>Tons of land
>No landed peasant class
They had to import their feudal class from somewhere, the natives weren't bitches.

As a I genuinely like Malcolm X because he was for racial separation. Many libtards who adore him nowadays don't even know that for some reason.

>no landed peasant class
Effectively more than 80% of Americans were landed peasants until the mid 1800s.

>Jews

There were very, very few Jews in America at the time and most were petty merchants with no interest in the slave trade.

>Try to have a civil discussion about MLK
>Every other post is /pol/ shit

Fuck this board

Yeah, but the amount of people who were there compared to the amount of arable farmland, they needed forced importation

provide the sources then

No, they did not "need" forced importation

this is first thing i think of when i see his face and it makes me ashamed

>Be poor and colored

I hate communism but h o l e y m o l e y, everything happens for a reason

What cancerous addon lets you disable the dates so now we have no fucking idea when that post was made.

Veeky Forums x, use it so I don't have to think about whether or not a post is old by the military clock time
I have taken to putting the date in the file names now

Proud of you.
If that's what triggers you people, the moral high ground was lost a while ago.
