Martin Luther King, a.k.a. Michael King

Four things I'll bet you didn't know about Martin Luther King:

1. His name wasn't Martin Luther. It was Michael! It was decided Martin Luther had a more prominent ring to it, so he went by that. He never legally changed his name. To this day, he lived and died as Michael King.

2. While working on his dissertation for his doctoral degree at Boston University, he heavily plagiarized from another author who had done research on a subject similar to King's. An academic committee later found that over half of King's work was plagiarized, yet would not revoke his doctorate degree. King was dead by this time, and the committee ruled that revoking the title would serve no purpose. It was also discovered that King's famous I HAVE A DREAM speech was also not his own. He stole it from a sermon by Archibald Carey, a popular black preacher in the 1950's.

3. King was under FBI surveillance for several years (until he died) due to his ties with communist organizations throughout the country. King accepted money from the organizations to fund his movements. In return, King had to appoint communist leaders to run certain districts of his SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference), who then could project their communist ideas to larger audiences. A federal judge in the 60's ruled that the FBI files on King links to communism to remain top-secret until 2027. Senator Jesse Helms appealed to the Supreme Court in 1983 to release the files, so the bill in the Senate to create the Martin Luther King Federal Holiday could be abolished. He was denied.

4. One of King's closest friends, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, wrote a book in 1989 in which he talked about King's obsession with white prostitutes. King would often use church donations to have drunken sex parties, where he would hire two to three white prostitutes, occasionally beating them brutally. The FBI agents who monitored King have also reported this. King was married with four children.

Martin Luther King Day is a day on which this country comes to a screeching halt so we can have parades and memorials to honor this man, a man that most of the world views as a saint for his role in the civil rights movement:

- No other public holiday in the United Stateshonors a single individual; Of all the great leaders in our Nation's history-none of them have their own holiday;

- All of our great war heroes share Memorial Day;

- All of our great presidents share President's Day.

Yet king -- a man who was a phony, a cheater, a traitor, and a sexual degenerate gets a day of his own.

I have a big problem with that. I'm not trying to take anything away from African Americans, but I am simply trying to point out that:

- The vast majority of people are sorely mistaken about Michael King; and

- Reverse discrimination is blatantly obvious everywhere you look today.

Make up your own minds, but I feel like I belong to one of the more abused ethnic groups in this country today.

Can I do anything about it? Absolutely not. If I dare speak out I'll get labeled a racist, harassed by the media, subsequently lose my job, and never be able to show my face in public again.

But what I can do is post this message and ask that you copy this and send out as an e-mail to as many people you know in hopes that when you're watching the evening news on Martin Luther King Day, and you observe our politicians falling all over themselves to be filmed in a black church, you'll keep these above facts in mind Martin Luther King.

Not taking any sides on this issue, but I would like to see the links to the sources from which you gathered your information to make the above statement. Thanks in advance.

I would love to go off on this and share exact links; however this information was derived from many different website and formulated into the above post. I might also say that some of the information was obtained from web sites that would leave you screaming that I am a racist . . . which I am not!

I will say just one thing and leave it at that.

If people are to be treated as equals than why do they keep have to telling us how different they are?

You are not African American unless you were born in Africa and then became a U.S citizen.

You are not a Asian American unless you were born is Asia and became a U.S. citizen.

And so on.

I don't go around calling myself an Italian American. I am an American. I was born here.

I guess that makes me a Cracker American

In the words of Col. Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) in "A Few Good Men," - "you can't handle the truth." Well here's the proof and might I say, I bet you can't handle the proof/truth!

Alright with the above links now posted go ahead a start the name calling!

I'm not going to call you a racist for what you found, all in all, you have compiled the information given, and had taken the time to present it on ATS. However, I do believe that the credibility of these websites are a little questionable due to what they promote.

Well on that .pdf page theres quote from Newseek, they're pretty legit.

Is a man a racist because he presents facts that depicts a black man as a fraud?

So long as the facts are true then you can't be accused of it, however, MLK was just a figurehead for a movement MLK day isn't about king per se, its about the fight for freedom and desegregation.

Do you think they'd enjoy it being called "Equality for blacks" day?

I'd be willing to be that they wouldn't care if it were called "Equality for Black's Day." That way they could throw it in our face even more.

I guess I should have an opinion about this but I don't. So what you don't support the holiday. There are alot of things in this country I don't like. I choke on it and move on with my life. Seems as though you should do the same.
