Keep in mind, before **dalej42** had Bernie Sanders, Martin Luther King Jr. occupied a special place in his heart. In 2005 he was ‘just asking questions’: [MLK and secret FBI documents?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=440018) > [@MLK and secret FBI documents?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mlk-and-secret-fbi-documents/304177/1): > > Many white supremacy groups claim that Martin Luther King, Jr. was involved with a white prostitute on the night before his assassination. They will also claim the FBI has files which have been locked away for years. They also claim the Dr. King plagarized his doctoral dissertation. Are any of these claims true? Did J. Edgar Hoover really claim “A tomcat has more morals than Martin Luther King?” Or, are these just racist claims made up by white supremacy groups? > > I’m not linking to the websites as it is a violation of the terms of the SDMB to link to hate groups. In 2006 more questions: [Why do we deify Martin Luther King, Jr.?](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=399546) > [@Why do we deify Martin Luther King, Jr.?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-do-we-deify-martin-luther-king-jr/383614/1): > > [Here](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/030502.html) is a link from Cecil which mentions some unflattering facts about Martin Luther King, Jr. Almost every discussion about the United States’ founding fathers will not hesitate to mention that they were wealthy and owned slaves. Should discussions of MLK always be prefaced by his love of prostitutes? Then a post here or there over the years (this is not a complete list). 2007 > [@SIU President shows evidence of graduating Bulla Cum Shit years ago](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/siu-president-shows-evidence-of-graduating-bulla-cum-shit-years-ago/422527/6): > > Martin Luther King, Jr. showed plenty of evidence of plagiarism in his doctoral dissertation. > > Hasn’t hurt his reputation. 2010 > [@What if Martin Luther King had not been assassinated?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-if-martin-luther-king-had-not-been-assassinated/525447/11): > > He’d be right there with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. His cheating on his wife would be front page news. Then this 2015 magnum opus: [Let’s pit Martin Luther King!](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=746440) > [@Let's pit Martin Luther King!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lets-pit-martin-luther-king/710016/1): > > So here we go again. Endless “I have a dream” clips. Every politician bending over backwards to show their love for this useless turd. Endless bullshit about “Doctor King” Hell, some pastors will even call him a saint. The idea of MLK being considers a saint makes me want to vomit a lung. > > Martin Luther King was a despicable human being. Dr. Seuss is more entitled to use the Doctor title than Mr. King. King cheated in college by plagiarizing his dissertation. His doctorate should be stripped. > > King also embezzled money, some of which was used to hire prostitutes. This so called reverend is just as bad as Jimmy Swaggart. We don’t have a holiday for Swaggart Day. Admittedly, his wife was an obnoxious bitch in her own right. > > Was he a communist? Probably. I’d love to get my hands on the sealed FBI files. I’m sure there’s even more reasons to hate Mr. King . > > Every time I see his ugly face pop up on TV screens for the next 3 days, I’ll be extending him the middle finger salute. Not worthy of a holiday , not worthy of the worship he receives, just a huckster self promoter. > > [http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2449/was-martin-luther-king-jr-a-plagiarist](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2449/was-martin-luther-king-jr-a-plagiarist) I supported Warren on super Tuesday, and will happily support Biden in November. I sincerely hope all Bernie supporters do the same. **dalej42** is a piece of shit, and remains so even when his views align with mine. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hey-manwich-bernie-lost/851413)._
