Every time the Reverend Martin Luther King comes up, you can always count on some Jim Crow throwback (who no doubt believes that they are “not racist”) to try to mention that King was either:
1. Socialist
or
2. Unfaithful in marriage.
Funny how they have no compulsion to expose the faults of any other American hero. None.
There is a word for what’s glimmering under the surface here, but people might howl if I use it.
MLK was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived, and America would not be what it is today if it weren’t for his life and work. Period. He deserves his status as a hero.
On the other hand I am not quite sure why anyone would claim to be “shocked” that MLK would have hesitated to cheer lead for the “American way” sometimes. I mean, for example, what’s a little Jim Crow among friends?
(Anyways,
McCain all the way! Socialism cannot be allowed to get any more traction in this country.)
