They laughed at Trump a few years ago when he suggested that the current crop of history-hating protestors would demand the removal of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson statues because they, too, fell short of the level of moral perfection that modern SJWs demand. These same people demanded that Brett Kavanaugh be not only denied a seat on the Supreme Court, but fired and made a permanent pariah because of unsubstantiated, and in many cases clearly fraudulent, claims about youthful impropriety.
So… will they be consistent and demand the erasure of Martin Luther King Jr. and all his works from the history books?
FBI tapes reveal Martin Luther King’s affairs ‘with 40 women’
It’s not the affairs that should be really noted here. SJWs seem to be generally unconcerned with such things, especially when it’s one of their own. But it seems that MLK also #MeToo’ed pretty badly:
The FBI document says: ‘When one of the women protested that she did not approve, the Baptist minister immediately and forcefully raped her’ as King watched.
He is alleged to have ‘looked on, laugh and offered advice’ during the encounter.
Huh.
Now, since I’m one of those horrible moral degenerates who demands actual evidence before passing judgement on someone, I have to say “I’ll believe it when I hear it.” Which, honestly, I suspect I never will… I’d be stumped if the FBI had held onto these tapes for fifty years and only released them now. And I’ll bet a nickel that if they are released it’ll be audio mush… a lot of static, a lot of “something vague is going on,” some muffled voices that someone claims is MLK, but could just as easily be an impersonator or someone who just happens to sound like him. But even so, the mere *claim* of the existence of this tape is more evidence than was ever presented against Kavanaugh, and he still got not only death threats but serious attempts at ruining his life and career. There are, I suspect, no statues of Kavanaugh, no roads or schools named after him; but if there were during the confirmation hearings you can bet that those would have been torn down or damaged.
Right wingers, or no-Nazis, or white supremacists, or Republicans, or whatever boogeyman the left wing is ulcerating about today are hardly likely to tear down statues of MLK. Apart from an exceedingly small number of whackaloons, the conservative side of the spectrum doesn’t generally go in for rioting and physically damaging things. That’s the lefts playbook. So it will be interesting to see if the SJWs are even vaguely consistent and decide to stuff MLK down the memory hole alongside some of history’s other great monsters like Washington and Jefferson.
