The FBI has loads of files on MLK, and from the lot they've released it isn't hard to ascertain that he was fraudulent. His motives mat have been noble, but like Gandhi and Mandela, if you're a complete piece of shit outside of the spotlight, how can you expect others to follow? Its as simple as "practice what you preach", which none of these clowns in Washington seem to get. Bernie isn't as bad as some of the others, but at the end of the day he's a career politician. And that should say something.
You can continue to take the ostrich approach, but that makes you just as uniformed as those black voters you were on about.
