I am convinced that we must reevaluate the life of Martin Luther King. Most people are stunned when I dare even bring up the subject. A few look upon me as if I’ve lost my mind. King is supposedly above criticism. The harsh reality is that he was contemptuous towards the United States during the Vietnam conflict. He literally declared the Communists to be victims of white imperialism. MLK encouraged much of the self-hating Americanism widely seen in today’s Democratic Party.
It is usually (and conveniently) forgotten that Reverend King was something of a utopian socialist. He candidly admits in his autobiography how his views concerning America and the West were changed while visiting India. MLK remained forevermore loyal to the principle of nonviolence. Nonetheless, he allowed—and even encouraged—non-violent political radicals to join his movement. They are the ones greatly responsible for the self-pity and sense of victim hood found so prevalently in our minority communities. The destruction these people have caused is mind-boggling to say the least. They set the table for the outrageous events of the O.J. Simpson trial.
