The replies on this thread echo the comments of past racists that hated MLK but now act like they acknowledged his status as an American hero...
Congrats "Parking Lot" conservatives your employing the same racist smears that your forefathers in the 60s used. 👏

Righteous Martin Luther King was slandered as a communist | David Ramsey

Martin Luther King Jr. is rightly lauded today as a crusader against the evil of American inequality and segregation.
But in 1965, at the height of King’s crusade, his critics, who were many, called him a communist. Be sure of this: Getting slandered with inaccurate names is part of the price, yesterday and today, of battling for change in America.
Lerone Martin, a professor at Washington University in Saint Louis, is finishing a book that reveals how the FBI smeared King as a communist.
“You can claim someone is a communist and that means they are anti-America and you can completely write off their claims as anti-American,” Martin says by phone from his home.
