Dr. King was becoming more militant before his death?

Why do I have to explain Marshall's own words, what I quoted are his words from interview posted on a site dedicated to him.
You seem lost kid

because you believe white lies. the fbi is a corrupt group. j edgar hoover is not a credible man in terms of his intent for the black community. you should tell us why would he be friend a man that was trying to destroyed his group

If Marshall says what the FBI said is true and affirms he was in fact friends with Hoover, you simply have to take your head out of the sand and realize the truth kid.

Some people believe what they want to regardless of the evidence presented. This brotha seems to be in denial.

no i don't have to believe shyt if your source is the fbi and mr hoover. how can you trust hoover's fbi crew after finding out they were responsible for killing black leaders? fact number 1= he ordered his agents to write bogus letter to send to various panthers leaders threatening bodily harm and attaching it to other leaders of the day. you do realize that the people he kicked out hoover informants out of the naccp, which is why he had to pay him a visit to check his ass

The reason Dr. King was assassinated has very little to do with Communism or any of that hogwash.

The answer is quite simple: He was attempting to get more money into the hands of poor people. Those in-power did not want that to happen.

Think about it: He wasn't assassinated until AFTER he tried to take money from the rich and give it to ALL the poor and not just Black people.

To be sure, there were attempts, but none of them were really coordinated to be successful.​

He was literally spouting Marxist talk man, black liberation theology.
Hoover and the US government was terrified of black radicalizing as communist, this was part of the reason they pushed through the Brown vs Board decision and started pushing integrationism in the first place. They wanted to take away the communist threat. Hoover used CIA connections with the mob to have the man assasinated and then worked with NYPD to kill Malcolm X, and then released the memo and MKultra to make sure no non government controlled black leader could rise again who might lead black americans towards communism

Breh, his whole steez was the distribution of wealth. Sure, that's Marxist, but it was also part and parcel of his entire ideology before he even knew who Marx was.

Black Liberation is a red-herring. He was for the enrichment/empowerment of Black people, for sure, and the best way for that to come about was through equal rights legislation followed by economic/political enfranchisement.​

Black liberation isn't a red herring, that is literally what he was going. Nothing wrong with that.
He was speaking more and more like communists and that is what made the FBI pull the trigger.
I don't understand why you reject this as if its false, it falls in line with everything you posted.

 

[NO-BadAzz]

This was a good thread with good dialog.

We need more conversations like this, I was able to take away a lot of things from posters.

Heat was dropped in here.

We need more open discussions like this.

Yes, it IS a red-herring since his religious ideology preceded any and all other socio-political assignations which was Black Liberation's primary focus.

There was an important distinction between the two but they had overlapping goals.​

You seem to forget that MLK was a preacher.
His primary focus was religious, he typically tried to use a christian message and christian parrallels to back what he was saying.
I think you don't know what the term red-herring means, and you are a bit ignorant of black liberation theology to think its a negative to associate MLK with it, when it simply a point of fact.

Are you actually reading what I post or just trying to argue a moot point?

It may or may not have been mention , but a lot of people feel that this was cause of the talk he had with E.M. and Malcolm.

 

[Acumen]

King wasn't becoming more militant, he was becoming more focused on economic justice and reparations. He was dead three weeks after saying "we are coming to Washington to pick up our check".
