They are suppose to release the illegal wiretaps on him, one allegedly involving raping a woman and laughing about it. He was a prolific adulterer, doesn't prove anything but it does create a current that it is possible. They think he had about 50 affairs. There are also some details of his associated stating the same about the affairs.
If true the implications of counter culture are going to be tested to the max. What to do. He did a lot of good things but maybe, he did do this really bad thing. Does that destroy his whole legacy. I don't know. To some women it probably does.

I think they released some things. Not all of it. Probably won't ever release it IMO but if it exists it should be. It would do a lot to get past this cancel culture comedic fit of rage. People are not perfect. Especially going back more than half a century. Get over yourself.

I know all men are flawed, particularly powerful men. I agree, it would be interesting to see how those that want hold everyone to this perfect ideal would respond. You cannot just men of the past by present day standards.

Pastors aren't far removed from Pimps?
You mean pimping the word of God?

Sadly this is true. I used to get hired by black preachers to play guitar with the band during the service. The preachers always had more women than I ever got playing in clubs.
It felt like a mockery. Like a service to Satan. The checks always cleared, though.

If you know anything about Pastors in the black community, you know they aren't far removed from pimps...
King was a great man, but like any man, he was flawed. My understanding of the tape is that it was a groupie and he was laughing about another pastor sleeping with the woman.
