For all of his faults (and I'm not sure which ones to believe), he paid with his life in a good cause. And if he's such a phony, or bad on doctrine, at the end of the day a lot of that doesn't matter compared to dying for something. I might be wrong, but that last series of speeches and rallies he was doing was to simply help get garbage men and city workers better wages or something. There's all kinds of people I disagree with on doctrine, but I can't help but admire things like this. I may not agree with a lot of Catholics either, but I admire those priests in Syria who gave their lives… or just the simple kid who was a Catholic who decided to not give in to ISIS's threats. What the hell am I doing in comparison to that?
Today is MLK day

I am not that aware of his case but he seems to have been a vanguard of civil rights movement back in days. In short jews used him to fuel racial tension in US.
I do not know if he was a fag/adulterer and I do not care really. He was definitely a part of the progressive wave that now shills for inclusion of transgenders and even pedophiles.
I will just point out that media adore him, there is even a mlk day. If you have not figured out that they nowadays make "heroes" out of the worst scum on this earth you should probably follow news more closely.

MLK day was started by Reagan, funnily. It's not some progressive only thing. It's kind of standard/generic American stuff.

Well those "conservatives" that conserve leftism few years back are not really conserving anything anyway.
Dylan Reed
Noice.
Henry Sanchez
Nope it's not
MLK was a good guy though, he lived and died when racism was prejudice, and before it was dishonestly re-invented as prejudice + power. Of course, that makes it impossible to judge where he'd stand on matters now.

According to his niece (who's a big Pro-Lifer), she says he was quite conservative and would probably oppose abortion (I would hope so for any minister however).
One funny thing I ran across makes me think he's extremely conservative by today's standards. He once had a Q and A column in the 50s, and a kid asked about rock music.
"I am a 17-year-old musician and I belong to the church. I play gospel music and I play rock ’n’ roll. Is it a sin to play rock ’n’ roll music for a living?
Answer: The question of whether playing rock and roll for a living is sinful or not sinful is really not the basic question confronting you. The real question is whether one can be consistent in playing gospel music and rock and roll music simultaneous. It seems to me that one must decide to either play gospel music or rock and roll. The two are totally incompatible. The profound sacred and spiritual meaning of the great music of the church must never be mixed with the transitory quality of rock and roll music. The former serves to lift men’s souls to higher levels of reality, and therefore to God; the latter so often plunges men’s minds into degrading and immoral depths. Therefore, I would say that you would be giving your life to a more noble purpose if you concentrated on the music of the church rather than rock and roll. Never seek to mix the two."
Hardly anyone thinks this way anymore.

It's unbiblical and satanic to be racist.

What about race realism?
