@mcread well, niggas be niggas no matter how much we want to make them into legends.
There's a reason why they say "never meet your heroes"

@ThatCrazyDude @mcread just say niggers

@Truthy @mcread what else would you expect? Trump ordered government records to be declassified and the government was collection material against the man, not the stuff that would paint him in good light.

@ThatCrazyDude @mcread the same people that said Ross Ulbrich hired a hitman?
The same people that claimed the Gulf of Tonkin Incident actually happened (same time frame as MLK). The same people that’ve been hiding the JFK FILES FOR 60 years?
I don’t trust them at all and I certainly don’t trust this report. Yet.
This is just confirmation bias in my opinion.

@Truthy @mcread I don't know. I wasn't there, never met the man so all I can have is an opinion on the documents everyone was bitching that need to be declassified. It might or might not be that the actual man was somewhat less than the legend of the man that we choose to tell each other. It kinda tends to be like that, you know.....

@ThatCrazyDude @Truthy @mcread

In the end, people don’t want to hear anything that challenges the constructed illusions

@newman @ThatCrazyDude @mcread not in this case because I’m not black. I don’t care about the illusion of MLK, I care about the illusion government tells the truth.

@Truthy @ThatCrazyDude @mcread I meant it in a general sense. Folks always demand the truth, but when the truth is shocking and unpleasant, they lose their composure. This can be seen in all areas of life.
