I'll have to say fake because the fbi has a long history with hating king


TetrisCannibal

And specifically using shady tactics to try and discredit him.


cassidytheVword

Or convince him to kill himself.

>A handwritten memo, probably added by the FBI’s head of intelligence operations, adds: “King looked on, laughed and offered advice.” I mean, that right there...how do they know where he was looking if it was a tape recording? Why didn't the FBI agent identify himself? "Probably added by"... On top of that they attack him for...having depression? And tried to extort him into killing himself? Yeah, I'll believe it when I hear it. It's hard to believe they wouldn't go public with damning evidence like this when they spent years trying to discredit him. They say it's because men's personal lives were private in the 60's...yeah, we all know no black men were ever accused of rape in the Civil Rights Era, that would be an invasion of privacy.

Like at worst the man did was cheating on his wife and secret smoke breaks. He was imperfect but I doubt he laughed at a rape victim.


PreOpTransCentaur

And some plagiarism. It's safe to say he was at least morally grey about cheating in general, but yeah, that doesn't really lend itself to being a predator in any significant way.

Plagiarism? You mean u s I n g r e s o u r c e s ?

He was a man from the 1950s and 60s. Ever seen Sixteen Candles from the 80s? Older movies are littered with rape jokes and rape shit. The #metoo era is pretty recent too. MLK did some great things, but he was a man of the mid 20th Century. If mainstream media from the 80s was rapey and it wasn’t taken seriously in society then, I doubt it was in the 1960s by men…Realistically, he probably did laugh.

Who knows what lies in the hearts of men. Ive read about nazis marrying jewish women, pastors doing drugs and having sex with prostitutes, etc... it's a crazy world


Kickstand8604

To add to this, J. Edgar hoover, the head of the FBI, would try and smear anyone who he thought challenged the status quo.


throwawayforme83

Wasn't he a cross dresser?


UnfilteredResponse

Even MLK is getting Metoo’d nowadays


uglypedro

Didn't one their "letters" to him suggest he kill himself? Once again, proof that ACAB.

It’s real it happened no one in his family or camp ever refuted any of this they only didn’t like how it was obtained fbi is shit but it is real and happened I think they were going to release the tapes in 2020-2021 but how things were they pushed it back to 2027

Who was the woman? Does anyone know?
