"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

In 1999 a jury found the federal government, state of Tennessee, and City of Nashville were all guilty of the assassination if MLK.

He was assassinated by the US govt.

The Europeans spend more on social programs than they do on defense, and they only get away with it because they have a sucker to pay for their defense.

"Doctor" Martin Luther King, Jr. was a rape apologist who plagiarized his doctoral thesis.

http://www.nytimes.com/1991/10/11/us/boston-u-panel-finds-plagiarism-by-dr-king.html

In 1955, Martin Luther King Defended his Thesis for a Doctor's Degree. Not less than a half "written" by King, was stolen from other authors.

Equally troubling are Dr. Kings views on homosexuality. To quote his own hand from an Ebony magazine article from 1958, "The type of feeling that you have toward boys is probably not an innate tendency, but something that has been culturally acquired."

See: https://hornet.com/stories/martin-luther-king/

Such a statement would be heresy today and would result in being banished from public life.

"Doctor" Martin Luther King, Jr. was a rape apologist who plagiarized his doctoral thesis.

This was a lie spread by the FBI who was shown to have been trying to smear him in the media and make his wife divorce him.

Are you actually go1dfish

Yeah, That's me. Creator of https://ceddit.com and https://notabug.io

Oh holy hell! Both your platforms are superb!

Thank you :)

ceddit isn't really a platform and it has no backend of its own. It is more accurately described as a reddit client that runs in your browser and uses pushshift.io and r/undelete data to reverse censorship. Haven't updated it in a while but I need to it's kinda buggy and has always been slow.

Notabug.io is a totally new platform aimed at building a decentralized/federated/self-hosted reddit like platform.

Both of these sites share a React port of reddit's open-source UI code using reddit's base open-source CSS pretty directly.

noice

Nope, we have the transcripts where he laughs heartily at the idea of a woman being raped. Sick, sick, sick.

Even if it was a lie, which it's not, his homophobia would be enough to cancel him.

[–]magnora7[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

FBI-generated transcripts, I'd guess. You have a link to those?

I think his message in the quote is more important than his personal slip-ups, if they're even real. Assassinating his character doesn't detract from the meaningfulness of the original quote.

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

What!! You must be joking. We know for a fact that discovering homophobia and rape apology in anyone is grounds for cancellation. No matter how beloved he is or what good deeds he did. Nothing will blot out that stain. His statues must be removed.

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

I don't see any links or proof... just repeated smear talking points

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Sigh...the proof has been out there for a while. You been living under a rock or something?

https://standpointmag.co.uk/issues/june-2019/the-troubling-legacy-of-martin-luther-king/

"Initially sealed by court order until 2027, the documents ended up being made available in recent months through the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992.

The most damaging memos describe King witnessing a rape in a hotel room. Instead of stopping it, handwritten notes in the file say he encouraged the attacker to continue.

King was once thought of as a saint beyond reproach. After his death, it eventually emerged that he was a womanizer."

The article itself literally says all the info comes from the FBI... So you're just promoting FBI propaganda talking points to make MLK look bad... okay

[–]Chipit 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

It's factual. Based on audio that exists. Face it, your idol is a rape apologist, a homophobe, and a plagiarist. Under the same treatment that's been meted out to other historical figures, his statues must be pulled down. DEAL WITH IT

[–]magnora7[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Based on audio that exists.

Link to audio? Or does only the FBI have this audio?

yeah because his tribe doesn't steal enough already through 'social uplifting' LOL give me a break. i don't need a govt to socially uplift me, all of their social programs negatively affect my life especially single motherhood

[–]magnora7[S] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

you just sound like you're not getting the size cut you want.

And he's not even saying he wants more social spending, maybe just less military spending? He only speaks of the ratio between the two

[–]gretathroatborg 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

the size cut you want

spoken like a nigger. no, african javascript programmer, ppl with dignity don't want handouts. but they do want their tax money to go into the common good like infrastructure and not supporting worthless nigger trash

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

What a bizarre response.

but they do want their tax money to go into the common good like infrastructure and not supporting worthless nigger trash

Yeah, that's what we're talking about. No need for the racist meltdown

[–]gretathroatborg 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

infrastructure

programs of social uplift

that's what we're talking about

i don't think you know what you're talking about

[–]magnora7[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Infrastructure doesn't uplift the public?

You think people don't enjoy and benefit from having the usefulness of roads?

[–]gretathroatborg 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

you must not be from america. social programs refer to entitlement programs, ie welfare giveouts to ppl. ppl don't refer to infrastructure investments as "the size cut you want", your original comment i had a problem with, because it's obvious that it's not a cut going to a person. now that i know you meant to support infrastructure and not freebies to lazy niggers we're in agreement

[–]magnora7[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I am from America. "the size cut you want" also implies roads and other social services you have access to, in the way I intended it. Glad we could agree

[–]gretathroatborg 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

no it doesn't mean that. it never has. the reason why is because something that's shared, infrastructure, isn't a cut to any specific person. don't lie

[–]gretathroatborg 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

implying social programs are a good use of money. trash (mostly niggers) must be helped out of society (dying off) rather than staying in society (subsidized on the backs of good productive ppl)

You're advocating the death of a people here, which is advocating violence. You're also kind of not really paying attention the pyramid of debate. First warning, please read more here. https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/j1/the_saiditnet_terms_and_content_policy/

[–]gretathroatborg 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

someone who refuses to work, who can't afford to buy food, should be allowed to starve to death. that's their own choice. that isn't violence. what the fuck are you talking about?
