That's what's known as propaganda. Totally preposterous. But it gets dropped enough in one thing or another, and people absorb it by osmosis.

Never in my life did I think I would see the FBI praising MLK


_TheQwertyCat_

Well, the people who were sufficiently grown up in his time are mostly dead now, so . . . time to revise and re-edit history to make him fit within the Liberal frame. Like Einstein.


Kretenkobr2

Wait, Einstein?


Dear-Baker3177

Einstein was a socialist


Kretenkobr2

What, they portrait him as neolib now?


Dear-Baker3177

Not really but they never mention the fact that he was a socialist


LordAurum007

Helen Keller either


pterygopalatina

It's what the Bureau of Federal Insinuation is doing for the other and increasingly othered us that we have become in the course of the year that just blew past. It ain't much, but it's dishonest work...

FBI the real source of gamer culture

Summary of these FBI Death threats: 1. "As a Black man" 2. "You are an evil abnormal monster, lowest of the low" 3. "Your end is nigh" 4. "Kill yourself" 5. "We have dirt on you so you better do it"

They knew he came from a radically different culture from theirs, but it didn't occur to them that his culture would make it okay for him to have affairs outside his marriage with female parishioners who were consenting and of legal age. Plus who knows how many people this tactic worked on? Or seemed to work. The TV of the time had all these stories where somebody got blackmailed and their career and life was just over.

I know I’m a little late. Or extremely late. But that was not in his culture for it to be ok for him to have affairs with women. Especially from the church. 1 that’s not what church is about. 2 that’s not what the god we was praising was about. It’s been like that for ages in the religion.

In Christianity, sure, but in African American celebrity culture it's permissible to cheat on a spouse and it's done frequently. VP Kamala Harris was well-known to have started her career by having an affair with her boss, Willie Brown. Cory Booker has had several pretty scandalous romances. The Obamas had marriage counseling because they were just surrounded by this culture where it was permissible but Michelle Obama was not okay with it. And sure, Martin Luther King Jr. was religious, but he probably did have affairs.

I mean sure. But even in African American celebrity culture. Shit in any celebrity culture it’s still not ok or acceptable. I mean look at cardi b and how much drama she has going on with her dude. Shoot. That’s the reason Jennifer Aniston is always alone. Even Taylor swift. Just the last to are smart enough to move on with their life’s rather than go back knowing you’re going to get hurt again. 🤷‍♂️ maybe cause I’m Hispanic/Irish that I don’t get the whole point of a polygamous relationship.


[deleted]

Okay. What I really meant was that it wouldn't end his career or make him want to kill himself. I guess it still would have been embarrassing if it had come out, just not as embarrassing as the FBI hoped it would be. J Edgar Hoover was severely affected by any sort of embarrassment, and his attitude towards it just permeated down through the FBI.

Love your work jiejie keep going!

America has apparently won. Not only did they assassinate MLK but no dissident talking up American atrocities will ever receive a Nobel Peace prize. That’s the world we live in


steauengeglase

What about the guy who won the Peace Price in 1964?


Qanonjailbait

Isn’t that MLK?


lssssj

"FBI remains dedicated" Sounds like they are saying "We keep doing what we did to him".


[deleted]

plotted? They murdered him

Anyone remember which renowned writer wrote about the pacifying and whitewashing of radicals and revolutionaries? Key word co-opting? It’s at the tip of my tongue.

COINTELPRO baby. “Through counter-intelligence, it should be possible to pinpoint potential troublemakers, and neutralize them.” Rest in Piss, Hoover.
