The Anti-Hero King
Timothy Birdnow
Martin Luther King is now sainted by popular culture and the media and historians, but he was a force driving America into socialism. Oh, and his most famous speech was plagiarized (with the help of a guy who financed the Communist Party USA) from a Confederate newspaperback in the latter 19th century.
How MLK radicalized victim mentality — and stole famous speech
FTA:
Now the legend is greater than the man, and Mr. King ( I won't call him doctor - his was a theology degree and it's not customary to use the honorific for liberal arts Ph.D's)has transcended mortal status. He is now being tauted as a founder of the nation, no less than WAshington or Jefferson or Lincoln. And in some ways he IS a founder, or rather a refounder, moving America into a very different place and not for the better.
We need to look at King in the same way we look at our Founders these days - with a critical eye. If Jefferson and Washington can be cancelled why shouldn't King? He actually did stuff worth cancelling him over. Sauce for the goose...

How MLK radicalized victim mentality — and stole famous speech
FTA:
"King,
he wasn’t interested in this kind of 'build up your communities and
pull up your own bootstraps.' In fact, he besmirched the
pull-up-your-bootstraps philosophy. ‘How can a bootless man lift up
himself by his own bootstraps?’ said MLK,” Jackson explains.
Jackson notes that Stanley Levison, "the number one financier for the communist party,” was MLK’s "handler.”
"The relationship between Levison and King had the kind of making of a giant in real time, and it worked,” he explains. "The historians picked up on it after he was martyred — Washington, D.C., erected a 40-foot monument paying homage to him.”
Levison was also the true author behind the famous line, "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.”
Jackson explains that Levison "must have read an article from an 1872 newspaper” printed in South Carolina, where a Confederate journalist wrote, "surely a day will come in South Carolina where the men of South Carolina are judged not by the color of their skin but the content of their character.”
"So they lifted that from a Confederate newspaper, and Martin Luther King quoted it in this ‘I have a dream’ speech,” Jackson says. "Frankly, it doesn’t matter who coined it, and what matters is that it’s true. But we’re attaching a lot of stuff to MLK that didn’t originate with him.
