So we should eliminate all the schools, statues, monuments, and buildings which carry the name of any of the founders of our country? Why? In order to appease a few left-wing radical liberal idiots?
What if I'M offended by a Martin Luther King street sign or building because of the way he treated women, and demand THOSE signs be torn down? Or am I not allowed to be offended by the criminal history of Malcolm X? Is that OK or are you of the belief that all black heroes were saints?:
The left now has a MeToo problem with Martin Luther King. Jr.
American Thinker By Monica Showalter May 27, 2019
The left, which has been so eager to topple statues of Confederate generals, slave-owning founding fathers such as Thomas Jefferson, even Kate Smith who sang objectionable racist songs early in her career, now has a Martin Luther King, Jr. problem.According to the Daily Mail:Secret FBI tapes that accuse Martin Luther King Jr of having extramarital affairs with '40 to 45 women' and even claim he 'looked on and laughed' as a pastor friend raped a parishioner exist, an author has claimed. The civil rights hero was also heard allegedly joking he was the founder of the 'International Association for the Advancement of P***y-Eaters' on an agency recording that was obtained by bugging his room, according to the sensational claims made by biographer David Garrow - a Pulitzer prize-winning author and biographer of MLK. Writing in British magazine Standpoint, Garrow says that the shocking files could lead to a 'painful historical reckoning' for the man who is celebrated across the world for his campaign against racial injustice. That's pretty disgusting stuff. And for the left, which has lived by the statue-toppling, it can now die by the statue-toppling. It toppled Confederate statues and sought to erase the founding fathers from the history books, so now all the streets named for the great civil rights leader, all the postage stamps, the schools, the history book lessons, the holiday, the statues, the sculptures, and the memorials, well, they can take them down now over the p****y-grabbing talk and the rape witnessing report as King was pretty much Weinstein-level in his transgressions.At a minimum, it might just demonstrate the stupidity of moving too fast on lionizing people who are far from perfect. Same thing happened with Earth Day and the repugnant personal history of its founder, though the King case is far more significant.Since the left sees things solely in terms of black and white and everyone's either a hero or a Nazi, it's now going to be squirming for awhile.
Get the point? If YOU'RE offended by the actions of George Washington, why am I not entitled to be offended by the actions of these black icons?Things You May Not Know About Malcolm XGet the facts on the civil rights activist and black nationalist.
History byJESSE GREENSPAN June 20, 2019He spent six-and-a-half years in jail.A 1944 police mug shot of Malcolm X, then known as Malcolm Little. (Credit: Time Life Pictures/Timepix/The LIFE Images Collection/Getty ImagesAs early as age 9, with his family in dire economic straits, Malcolm began robbing food from stores in Lansing. Later on, in Boston and New York, he got involved in drug dealing, gambling and prostitution rackets, spending much of his time in seedy nightclubs. At age 19, he was arrested for the first time for allegedly stealing and pawning his half-sister’s fur coat. A second arrest followed for allegedly mugging an acquaintance at gunpoint, and a third arrest came after he burglarized a series of Boston-area homes. Sentenced to state prison in 1946, his cellblock mates called him “Satan” for his habit of pacing around and muttering curses at God and the Bible.
