Was martin Luther king a lying, sexually perverted, puppet for 'others'??

[Rekkapryde]

why when black history month comes hes usually the only black person mentioned?
why media still talking like black panther movement and many others were a bunch of criminals, MLK was a puppet you like it or not...

Nah, they just don't want you to hear the real shyt he was spitting. MLK was way more gangsta than that PG shyt they taught cats in school.

 

[kevm3]

He was human just like everyone else, meaning, he wasnt' a perfect angel who never did any wrong, but the positive he did do greatly outweighs the negative.

CACs like to parade around MLK because MLK made them feel good about themselves. In reality they really don't give a fukk about him, only that he stroked their egos and neutered black folks in the process. MLK might have been a true believer in that integration bullshyt that he was peddling but the CACs were running game on him all along. When he finally came out of the fog and started to spit some real shyt he was killed. MLK and his movement were like the bums begging for spare change under the freeway. A CAC will look at him with pity, slide him a quarter and feel great about himself for the rest of the day.
CACs use MLK and his "I have a Dream" bullshyt today as tool to get black folks to shut the fukk up.
I don't give a fukk about MLK's dream and neither does any white person.

He smashed pawgs on the side.

FBI have tapes of him screwing white women

 

[Jello Biafra]

He was a great man who was a tireless advocate for the poor, discriminated against and disenfranchised but he also was just as flawed as any other man.
The fact that he liked to get some strange every once in a while does nothing to change the good he did.

Not really proven true but there seems to be a least some plausible evidence. Even so, if his worst crimes were cheating on his wife and plagiarizing a paper in college, that's not exactly murdering people. I rank those things way down low.

You got to go to post 65 MLK to hear the movement taking place that lead to his death:

"Why are you speaking about the war, Dr. King?" "Why are you joining the voices of dissent?" "Peace and civil rights don't mix," they say. "Aren't you hurting the cause of your people," they ask? And when I hear them, though I often understand the source of their concern, I am nevertheless greatly saddened, for such questions mean that the inquirers have not really known me, my commitment or my calling. Indeed, their questions suggest that they do not know the world in which they live.

There is at the outset a very obvious and almost facile connection between the war in Vietnam and the struggle I, and others, have been waging in America. A few years ago there was a shining moment in that struggle. It seemed as if there was a real promise of hope for the poor -- both black and white -- through the poverty program. There were experiments, hopes, new beginnings. Then came the buildup in Vietnam, and I watched this program broken and eviscerated, as if it were some idle political plaything of a society gone mad on war, and I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube. So, I was increasingly compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor and to attack it as such.

Perhaps a more tragic recognition of reality took place when it became clear to me that the war was doing far more than devastating the hopes of the poor at home. It was sending their sons and their brothers and their husbands to fight and to die in extraordinarily high proportions relative to the rest of the population. We were taking the black young men who had been crippled by our society and sending them eight thousand miles away to guarantee liberties in Southeast Asia which they had not found in southwest Georgia and East Harlem. And so we have been repeatedly faced with the cruel irony of watching Negro and white boys on TV screens as they kill and die together for a nation that has been unable to seat them together in the same schools. And so we watch them in brutal solidarity burning the huts of a poor village, but we realize that they would hardly live on the same block in Chicago. I could not be silent in the face of such cruel manipulation of the poor.

They ask if our own nation wasn't using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted. Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent.

It is with such activity in mind that the words of the late John F. Kennedy come back to haunt us. Five years ago he said, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." Increasingly, by choice or by accident, this is the role our nation has taken, the role of those who make peaceful revolution impossible by refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas investments. I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin...we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.

Now, what does all of this mean in this great period of history? It means that we've got to stay together. We've got to stay together and maintain unity. You know, whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it. What was that? He kept the slaves fighting among themselves. But whenever the slaves get together, something happens in Pharaoh's court, and he cannot hold the slaves in slavery. When the slaves get together, that's the beginning of getting out of slavery. Now let us maintain unity.

There are plenty of more examples. That's why they killed him.

"The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism. All people of goodwill viewed with alarm and concern the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right. The "best man" at this ceremony was a senator whose voting record, philosophy, and program were anathema to all the hard-won achievements of the past decade."
- MLK, July 16, 1964 (after segregationist Barry Goldwater won the GOP presidential nomination)

"The war has given the extreme right, the anti-labor, anti-Negro, and anti-humanistic forces a weapon of spurious patriotism to galvanize its supporters into reaching for power, right up to the White House. It hopes to use national frustration to take control and restore the America of social insecurity and power for the privileged. When a Hollywood performer, lacking distinction even as an actor can become a leading war hawk candidate for the Presidency, only the irrationalities induced by a war psychosis can explain such a melancholy turn of events."
- MLK, November 1967 (on Vietnam and Ronald Reagan)

You can'’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can'’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’'re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry.… Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong …with capitalism.… There must be a better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a Democratic Socialism.

OP who are these 'others' that you say he was a puppet for? Do you have any evidence or are you just posing the question?

Asking the question because I was confronted in real life for taking up for MLK. nikkas supposedly have all this evidence.

I can't hate on this

but MLK still was trill

 

[Depreciating Asset]

I've heard that he didn't write all his speeches (A Phillip Randolph maybe ghost wrote some?).

Certainly the NAACP was heavily involved in the Montgomery bus boycott and MLK was more of the face of that particular movement.

He certainly worked with the JFK administration to push the agenda at certain times and back off at others.

But is there more evidence than this? This doesn't make him a puppet for others at all to me. But haters gonna hate.

His contemporaries just like Malcolm's and Obama's are jealous that they are in the spotlight while other less charismatic intellectuals were/are on the sidelines. I think this type of criticism is really more of the same.

The best critique I've read of every black movement in the 60s is from Howard Curse in "The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual". He calls MLK an accomodationist who is too soft but he also blasts every other movement of the era too as misguided or shortsighted. It's a brilliant book.
