Warning: hyperbole and sarcasm ahead.
There ya go traffic blockin’, city burnin,’ libtards, The Railer has already composed the chant for you. It follows your infantile, well-worn, template that most of us are sick of hearing.
Since libs have made it fashionable to adjudicate American icons through a modern social justice, environmental justice, trans justice, criminal justice, racial justice, … lens, it is therefore time to bring these new standards-of-justice to rethink Martin Luther King’s legacy. It’s time to tear down the statues, rename the buildings, rip down the street signs, and purge MLK’s life and crimes from our collective story. Here, before you now, stands the accused.
MLK was a homophobe. Here’s an interview snip from a King associate:
QUINTON E. BAKER:
Yeah, I know more of his, of the people around him, more so than Doctor King and no I didn’t get a sense. No, I think that the sense that I got was that Doctor King was not very comfortable with the gay people in the movement, and I know he wasn’t very comfortable with Bayard Rustin, and so that is to some degree Bayard—that’s why Bayard had such a back seat.
How about that? Dr. King sends a gay man to the back of the Civil Rights bus. Advocacy? Dr. King doesn’t even get to tolerance.
MLK was a Republican, racist, and traitor to his race. We learn that Dr. King was a Republican from his niece, Dr. Alveda King. Why is this a surprise? The first Republican president freed the slaves and fought a bloody four-year war against Democrat separatists. Lincoln was assassinated by a Confederate (aka Democrat) just days after the war ended. Republican President Eisenhower sent National Guard troops to escort black children into white-only schools, over the objections of Democrat Governors. Republican Senators fought a Democrat led filibuster to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act. MLK, like Republicans across time, believed in a color-blind society. MLK famously said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” This thoughtcrime contradicts today’s Democrat Party ethos, which says that every aspect of life is defined by skin color and race. We count by race, we go to school by race, we go to university by race, we buy by race, we hire by race, we promote by race, we pick Vice Presidents by race (lookin’ at you Joe Biden), and so on, ad infinitum. We can also infer from the totality of his life’s message, that MLK would have agreed that “All Lives Matter.” Libs now say that is a racist code phrase for white supremacy. Democrats/liberals/socialists/progressives say that Republicans are racist, MLK was a Republican, therefore MLK was a racist. If A=B and B=C, then A=C.
And no less than DimJoe Biden said that “If you have a problem figuring out if you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.” Based on knowledge of his faith, Baptist Pastors say that MLK would vote for Trump if he were alive today.
MLK was a coward. King advocated for non-violent civil rights change during the 50’s and 60’s. Imagine how much more he could have accomplished through violence? Today’s Progressives believe in violence and see in MLK’s passivity a traitor to his cause and his race. His non-violent approach was a capitulation to a Euro-centric western construct designed to permanently exploit and oppress people of color. He set back the cause by decades, by failing to properly confront the oppressive white power structures that thanks to Dr. King, still exist today.
Me too, MLK. Me too!
He was a misogynist who traded in prostitutes and cheered rape. We know this because the FBI had been monitoring Dr. King’s “activities.” And very active he was indeed.
Do we believe these reports? Dr. Ralph Abernathy more or less confirmed it in his book, and King apologists arranged to seal the FBI tapes in the National Archives until 2027.
MLK was a Christian. Christianity, along with all Western religions, is a leftist/socialist/communist target of annihilation. There is only room for one God in a totalitarian state, and that God is the Dear Leader. Karl Marx, the spiritual guide of the BLM Movement said: “all modern religions and churches are considered as ‘organs of bourgeois reaction’ used for ‘the exploitation and the stupefaction of the working class.’”
ML King has got to go. Do you see how easy that was?
Offer only one-sided arguments, mix in some social justice poopytalk, and voila,’ MLK was the worst person ever – he must be cancelled. The mob hasn’t actually turned on MLK… yet… but they have turned on Lincoln, Jesus, the Virgin Mary, a few Saints, and anyone who doesn’t bend-the-knee in capitulation to America’s (Maoist) Cultural Revolution. Shaun King, a left-wing activist and self-described black man – whose family says he is white (?) – says that statues of white Jesus should all come down. The left’s nihilistic tantrum has gone far beyond civilized bounds.
The Railer strongly believes that Dr. King’s good work overshadows both real and contrived criticisms. His words and righteous arguments changed the United States and the world for the better. He called on all of us to live up to the ideals of our founders, and most followed. Was he perfect? No. But worthy of study, discussion, celebration? Of course. That can only happen in a tolerant and polite society where we preserve and remember the fullness, and overwhelming goodness, of our amazing story.
