Some Facts and Opinions about Martin Luther King, Jr.

-By Don Boys, Ph.D.

Well, it is that time of year when I write my annual column about MLK and his national holiday. As usual, most of the media refuse to read or hear anything negative about him. They are self-appointed guardians of the holy grail. However, they were sure thrilled to write about another Black man–Herman Cain! King’s statement that a person should be judged by his character not the color of his skin is obvious to everyone except the dedicated haters. However, most media, entertainment, and academic people do not practice that philosophy even though nodding in agreement. The media considers facts about King not to be discussible.

Without any reservation I agree with King’s observation that we must judge people by their character and nothing else and will do just that as I take a look at King without any prejudice. I wonder if radical leftists, King worshipers, white liberals, black non-thinkers, media moguls, Joe Six-Pac, and others will do the same? Look at the King facts as you try to control your emotions.

The following facts about King are irrefutable whereas my opinions can be discussed, debated, and disbelieved by anyone. The documentation can be found in my 22-page report “Martin Luther King, Jr.: Judged by His Character, Not His Color.” (cstnews.com)

King was a confessed adulterer having many prostitutes and mistresses as all informed people know; however, we are not supposed to mention that sin in his life. We are told that he was not perfect and was, indeed, a flawed person. That is supposed to negate any criticism; however, while King, his best friend, and his very friendly biographer admit the unsavory fact, we won’t dwell on it. But the media sure dwelt on Cain’s alleged sexual problems. And the charges against Cain were as fishy as a ten-day-dead Grouper.

Why would the media overlook, make excuses, and defend King while going after Cain with hammer and nails while looking for a couple of four by fours? Could it be because King was a flaming liberal and Cain is a flaming Conservative? The fact that King is dead and Cain is alive might also make a difference. For sure, Cain’s résumé is deficient in that he cannot boast of martyrdom!

King showed his shocking liberalism in his theology and while that would not bother the media moguls, it bothers Christians and all people who believe in consistency. I have read his seminary theological papers as provided by his people in Atlanta and they contain irrefutable evidence that King did not believe the core teachings of the Bible, i.e., Christ’s virgin birth, virtuous life, vicarious death, victorious resurrection, and His visible return. King used the Bible, the churches, and Christians to accomplish his social agenda. Some would say that that doesn’t matter, but it does to those who are concerned about honesty and personal integrity.

King climbed into bed with Liberals very early in his life then as he “grew” he made room for his Communist buddies. President Kennedy warned him that he must fire the high profile Communists on his staff or they could destroy his work. While our military were dying in the rice paddies of South Vietnam, King was defending and praising the warlords in Ho Chi Minh City.

Jackie Kennedy called King a “terrible man” and a “phony” and was aware of King’s many sexual escapades including his attempt to organize a sex orgy during his march on Washington. However, Jackie’s husband was a sexual predator like King and she seemed not to make the connection that both preacher and president were vow-breaking scumbags. Moreover, Jackie was not a paragon of virtue herself. The 1964 interviews (recently released) has her in essence, throwing rocks from her glass house.

Robert told Jackie about MLK’s very critical and crude, even lewd remarks about JFK during the funeral. She said her brother-in-law told her that King also mocked Cardinal Cushing who did the eulogy saying Cushing was drunk during the funeral.

I can honestly say, and my life proves it, that I don’t care what a person’s color is. I look at his character. If a Black is a bum, he is a bum. If a White is a bum, he is a bum. Bums come in all complexions. So do the good guys. I have dear friends who are black and who are always welcome in my home, but I don’t feel a need to “use” blacks as a merit badge as many Liberals do. So as I look at Martin Luther King, Jr., his color means nothing to me. It should mean nothing to anyone. When a white preacher or leader is guilty of the things King was guilty of, most people are disgusted and repulsed, but they give King a pass. They are racists.

No, I will not be celebrating King’s birthday although I would be very delighted to honor Booker T. Washington who did more for Blacks and civil rights than King and his passel of political and partying parsons ever thought of doing.

Besides, January 15 is my birthday so we will eat at a favorite Italian restaurant and go to bed early.
