Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. day. It has been corrupted by the radical left to try and play up the accusations of America as a racist country, and to push Marxist critical race theory, but even apart from that I’m going to make the controversial argument that Martin Luther King, Jr. is not the ideal representative of civil rights heroism in American history. There are numerous black Americans, however, who were outstanding heroes.
There are few people more interested in exposing the truth of the racism of America’s past and in honoring black American heroes as I am, but I think as patriots we should take today to remember the numerous other unsung black heroes of American history, whose courage and virtue made this country what it is. You probably haven’t heard of many of them.
Firstly, why is MLK controversial as a hero? King did a great deal for Civil Rights and inspired millions, undeniably, but there is evidence he also did a number of awful things in his personal life, including having affairs with as many as 45 women (not to mention he plagiarized from another black Republican, Archibald Carey, for his most famous speech). In 2019, “Secret FBI tapes… 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.” Whether all those accusations are completely true or not, King was undeniably a philanderer and plagiarizer. He was not the best representative of black American heroism. So who is? Well, I don’t know if there’s one person in particular. But there are countless noble and essential black heroes in American history who deserve far more recognition than they receive.
I wrote an article in 2022 for The Rogue Review about black American heroes of the Revolution. There are so many—including the black soldiers of Washington’s Indispensables and Immortals and the slave/spy Cato. But I focused on four in particular: Salem Poor and Peter Salem, soldier heroes of the Battle of Bunker Hill; Phillis Wheatley, the slave who became a Revolutionary Patriot poetess and America’s first published black author; and James Armistead Lafayette, the brilliant slave-turned-Patriot double agent whose spy work was so essential to the American Revolution’s success. Other black soldiers at Bunker’s Hill were Caesar Brown, Prince Estabrook, Grant Cooper, Prince Hall, and George Middleton.
Later, last spring, I did another piece highlighting black heroes of the Underground Railroad: Railroad “General Superintendent” Elijah Anderson, the “Forgotten Father of the Underground Railroad” William Still, and the “Moses” of the Railroad, Harriet Tubman.
There are so many others. Booker T. Washington, former slave, educator, and moving orator. Augustus Tolton, America’s first black Catholic priest, who inadvertently ripped the mask off the false religiosity of so many racist “Christians.” Ida B. Wells, civil rights champion and fearless journalist. Medgar Evers, the first state field secretary of the NAACP in Mississippi who was assassinated for his civil rights activism. Samuel J. Lee, the former slave and outstanding attorney who served as the first black speaker of the South Carolina House (and sadly “lost” a congressional seat through fraud and cheating by racist Democrats). Hattie McDaniel, the talented actress who was the first black Academy Award winner. Sidney Poitier, the first black actor to win the Best Actor Oscar (other pioneering black performers include “Bojangles” Robinson, the Golden Gate Quartet, Fred “Snowflake” Toones, Willie Best, Eddie “Rochester” Anderson, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, James Franklin Baskett, and Blind Tom Wiggins). The all-black—including all-black officers—370th Infantry in WWI, whose outstanding courage in battle earned them the nickname “Harlem Hellfighters” and the prestigious French military award, the Croix de Guerre.
There’s the Tuskegee Airmen (including Daniel “Chappie” James Jr.), the first black U.S. military flying unit that won over 850 medals for their heroism. Dorie Miller, the first black American awarded the Navy Cross. Vietnam military heroes Milton Olive III and Stanley C. Goff. Mack Robinson, groundbreaking athlete and Olympic medalist (like Jesse Owens), and his brother Jackie Robinson. Hiram Revels and Joseph Rainey, the first black U.S. senator and congressman. Nancy Green, the former slave who became America’s first living trademark, “Aunt Jemima.” Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court justice who has held the line on Constitutionality as so many of his fellow justices ignore or violate the Constitution shamelessly. I wish I had the space to tell their stories, and many others’, in detail.
Some names are still remembered, though not so lauded as King. Frederick Douglass was a remarkable man his whole life, both as a slave, an escaped slave, an orator, a recruiter for the Union Army, and a civil rights champion. He seems almost single-handedly to have convinced a somewhat prejudiced Abraham Lincoln that racism of any sort was wrong and that black Americans deserved the same rights as white Americans. Lincoln told Douglass soon before he died that he valued Douglass’s opinion above any other man’s. Then there was George Washington Carver, “American agricultural chemist, agronomist, and experimenter whose development of new products derived from peanuts (groundnuts), sweet potatoes, and soybeans helped revolutionize the agricultural economy of the South.”
We are a nation of great men and women, as the black heroes of American history bear such inspirational witness.
So nice to see we are all one Race, God’s Children. We are all broken in one way or another. Thankful for God’s Mercy and Forgiveness. Tribalism is the tool of Free Masons and Satanists to divide and conquer temporarily to enslave us in various formats with them in 🌽Troll.
Since True Love can’t exist with out free will. And free will is meaningless with out Temptations. So daily we get to choose out of loving free will, Tribalism or the One Race Body of Christ.
MLK attended Commie training school in the US....this was well known by Patriots in the 1960's....he was trained to be a race baiter and a force for divisivness....then he was assassinated by the same people who made him what he was and is today....imagine we have no holiday for George Washington any more but we have a holiday to celebrate a man who promoted racial division...Alan Stang followed him around the South during his race baiting tours in the 1960's and wrote and spoke about him
