The strangest thing I learned growing up was that blacks do not respect Martin Luther King Jr. or his message of non-violence. He is not held up as a hero by them.

well in my experience most blacks, and all the black people I know of in my life including myself, respect Martin Luther King junior, the issue is, they don't concur that the strategy of nonviolence he lived by was best for black people to grow positively in the usa , or elsewhere. He is held up as a hero by most black people in the usa, but he isn't always deemed correct by most black people in the usa

ONLINE REACTION TO MLK JR DAY 2026

thank you @Troy

 

CONTENT

 

I'm revisiting the 7+ year old post because it is ranking high in search the past couple of weeks (at least) and has attracted more than 31K visitors (@richardmurray this would be mostly real people, not bots).

 

If folks with influence in the media cared about sites like AALBC viral posts, of which we have many, this would be newsworthy.

 

It seems MLK's sexual predilections are of interest to a lot of people. I guess because of his recent birthday.  I just ran a search on the phrase was MLK gay and this post came up #6. 

 

Reading some of the earlier posts on the conversation, I must have been in a mood (sorry @Delano I was bit critical over you use of the word illegitimate when referencing children.  I still don't like the word used in that context, but thanks fore starting this conversation 🙂

 

Maybe I should return Google ads to the site.  I the crappy Ads Google likes to server here, but AI told me how to step up the quality... we will see.

thank you @Troy 

this is very interesting to me. I used the link and yes, it did come up sixth. I have never once searched such a thing. hmm, very informative to the human condition online. I wish you could access demographic information on who is searching. 

So many today, search for complaint, search for negativity.. hmm , thank you for addressing me in your comment.
