"Dr. King was awarded the inaugural Margaret Sanger award in 1966 from Planned Parenthood Federation Of America. "

WHAT??? This is just plain shocking. He was used. Did he just not understand her goals?

As for his Marxist leanings, how can you blame him given the times? I also understood that he supported universal basic income. Again, after being shocked to learn that, I understood why given the circumstances. But really and truely, his "Christian writings" in his PhD were very disturbing and frankly, unCHristian. And his personal relationships with a woman not his wife are sad. Ultimately, he was chosen for one purpose despite his major moral and doctrinal failings

Yep, he was not anti-capitalist, but leaned heavily into socialism. He was very unChristian and his personal failings are well documented. Was he used to accomplish something good, sure. God used a number of flawed individuals. If God didn't work through flawed individuals, he wouldn't be able to work His will in the earth. I do think we need to re-examine the deity of Dr. King in the black community
