MLK Jr, the communist?

This story made me sick to my stomach. I have read the accounts of Martin Luther King Jr.'s…shall we say, philandering ways, but to read about the efforts the US government made to silence such an influential man, it is just heart breaking. The disdain is described such detail; I just cannot wrap my mind around the logic of all of this.

The suspected communist bit is so obviously a ruse used to disguise the fact that his persecution had everything to do with racism embedded deeply in the US and it’s government agencies.

I will never understand how a nation built on change can be so anti-progressive.
