If MLK was lecturing on family values and the importance of marriage - and was having an affair - that would be hypocritical.

But if he was only campaigning for civil rights, I could care less what he does in his marriage.

It's only when leaders tell people how to live - then break tehse very same rules - that they suck.  Regular joes, schmore, and heroes who wish to bang people they're not married to - I could care less.  Their business.

There are a lot of rumors about his infidelity but no proof. Unless you have rock solid evidence stand by for a public stoning.

Personally, I don't care. His message still means something and regardless of his personal flaws (between him and God) it doesn't make his fight for racial equality less valid.

I also agree that he'd be disappointed by the behavior of the black community today and their sense of entitlement.

It both saddens and angers me when someone like Bill Cosby can give them a heavy dose of truth and they turn on the man.

I couldn't agree more w8lftr.

Seemed MLK focused more on the civil rights battle than family and family values, though families were more functional back then compared to now.  Regardless of what he did or didn't do outside his marriage, his influence is among the most important and needed in American history.  I can't imagine how difficult times were then and its amazing what he was able to accomplish with his message.  If black leaders want to continue to encourage other blacks to do best, the path has been set...a message mix of MLK & Cosby.
