Time to remove all his statues, memorial day, rename all streets and schools, and any remembering events still there shall focus on his "problematic" past such as rape, stolen funds for degenerate parties with sex exploitation.
even worse, they don't even want to judge people by their character. they prop up how he had a good speech as a black man, and then do the exact opposite of what the guy said because it dunks on their racist narrative.
I really hope Trump [DOES remove the MLK bust](https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/trump-still-salty-over-fake-news-report-about-mlk-bust-removal/) from the White House.

I say this without a shred of irony, humor, or hyperbole: I pray that I live to see the day when we pull down Michael King statues and smelt them for ammo to use in the Purge.
MLK The Plagiarist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr._authorship_issues
>As Clayborne Carson, director of the King Papers Project at Stanford University, has written, "instances of textual appropriation can be seen in his earliest extant writings as well as his dissertation. The pattern is also noticeable in his speeches and sermons throughout his career."[3]
>Boston University, where King received his Ph.D. in systematic theology, conducted an investigation that found he appropriated[3] and plagiarized major portions of his doctoral thesis from various other authors who wrote about the topic.[4][5]
>According to civil rights historian Ralph Luker, who worked on the King Papers Project directing the research on King's early life, King's paper The Chief Characteristics and Doctrines of Mahayana Buddhism[6] was taken almost entirely from secondary sources.[7] He writes:
>Moreover, the farther King went in his academic career, the more deeply ingrained the patterns of borrowing language without clear attribution became. Thus, the plagiarism in his dissertation seemed to be, by then, the product of his long established practice.[7]
Id assume Malcom X and the Black Panthers did more for civil rights. I'd read in a children's book called Micheal Vey that India had a leader who violently sabotaged the British, while history only remembers Ghandhis peaceful protests

what should mlk jr day be renamed as?
"Civil Rights Remembrance Observance" or something but it needs something snappier
also should think of ways to direct the holiday towards more wholesome directions (like as with "Juneteenth", towards a more general celebration of "freedom")
It was well known back then and even not too long ago. He was a philanderer and a rapist. Just like any black claiming to be Christian, he was fraud, a charlatan, and was doing it for personal benefit.
Your rules, leftists.
Uh huh. So a good speech makes someone great. Tell me more... And then look up one of those AI-translated Hitler speeches.
