Secret FBI recordings accuse Martin Luther King Jr of watching and laughing as a pastor raped a woma

I don't know of any lasting good Hitler did or see any rational comparison between the two circumstances, me thinks you merely look for absurdity, but feel free to disagree with the Biblically based reasoning as I presented it. Remember that I stated I would not name the holiday after MLK - so then it logically follows I don't attribute the end result to the man but only let the good shine through out of the darkness.

 

Because of Hitler, we now have the nation of Israel.

 

This thread has now taken an amazing turn. Only in the BB.

 

I am making the point that if you choose to ignore the evil in people's lives, you can find good to celebrate in anyone.

 

Why do you believe Columbus is worthy of honour when MLK is not? The discovery of America was doubtless a historically important event and to a certain extent necessary inasmuch as it eventually resulted in the existence of this country but it was accompanied by much evil including genocide, slavery, rape, and a host of other sins of which Columbus was not innocent. Was Columbus very historically important (just like MLK)? Yes, but I don't see why his actions merit celebration to the extent of having a national holiday.

 

Your version of the history surrounding Columbus is skewed at best and never appeared on the scene until the early 70's. Be careful what you believe.

 

Oh and what are you providing here isn’t?

 

I don't think every evil attributed to Columbus is true. Also as is evident by this thread, views of Martin Luther King are also changing, dependent on new research and findings.
