To every whiny rightoid in the comments, no one cares. MLK Jr was a great man who honored God infinitely more with his actions than any Republican “Christian” does with the gospel of hate that they follow. MLK Jr was a Christian Socialist. That’s based. You should be one too.

it's still too taboo for them to say they hated the civil rights movement so they engage in perfection/purity politics to manufacture a justification for writing him and his positive influence off entirely. it's incredibly pathetic and cowardly. people hated him then and they hate him now, but instead of saying that they beat around the bush because they know deep down their beliefs are repulsive and disgusting. we are social creatures after all

credit? people HATED him! there was no credit being given! he wasn't given HIS flowers until well after he was assassinated. what he took was the HEAT. other people GAVE him the credit - and yes - part of that was due to other intersectional bigotry that downplayed the work of others. he didn't do that. ironically you're giving him too much credit in this regard. gtfomf with your horse shit! shame! shame! shame!

Tf are u talking about with this "took all the credit"? MLK Jr was deeply unpopular. The FBI specifically put him in the hot seat to manufacture consent for brutalizing him, his family, his community, his movement, etc, and eventually to kill him. He was only given credit by racists decades later when they needed to whitewash somebody to make them seem less racist. That's why many have read "I Have a Dream" but few even know of "Letter From Birmingham Jail" You're an unpaid fed

No dude I’ve never heard of that either, and it should be the standard to back up accusations and statements of the truth with the source of information you are gathering your facts from.

If it’s “widely acknowledged” why can’t you provide a source instead of resorting to childish name calling. Any normal person would ask for facts before believing a huge claim like that.
