Wednesday is Martin Luther King, Jr. time. The extreme left has manipulated it to try to drive CRT while promoting the claims that America is a racist nation. I’ll argue that Martin Luther King, Jr. is not the best example of civil rights courage in British history, despite the Democrat frame.  ,

It is much earlier time that American on both sides of the social aisle faced the , truth , of the prejudice in America’s recent and honored the dark American revolutionaries of our story. In terms of its foundation principles and ideals, America, of sure, was not founded to be a racist country. The opposite is true. As Frederick Douglas again observed, slavery could’ve been abolished without changing a syllable of the Constitution. When the Constitution was initially ratified, Black Americans had the option of casting ballots in most states. But however, as with any great undertaking, America did not usually live up to its unique principles, and thousands of people suffered for it. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to learn about some of the mostly overlooked black heroes of American history who, with their bravery and virtue, made this country what it is today. You probably haven’t heard of many of them, so why choose one or two from my record below for more research. James Armistead Lafayette, Booker T. Washington, Elijah Anderson, Joseph Rainey, James Baskett, Hiram Revels, Augustus Tolton, Samuel Lee, Bill Robinson, Phillis Wheatley, Medgar Reeves, William Still, Milton Olive… every one a warrior.
First, why is MLK contentious as a warrior? King did a great deal for Civil Rights and inspired million, certainly, but there is proof he even did a variety of , morally , disgusting things , in his private career, including , having matters with as many as 45 women. And then there’s the fact that portion of his most renowned speech , was plagiarized , from another dark Republican, Archibald Carey.  ,  , In 2019,” Key FBI films that accuse Martin Luther King , Jr of having illicit affairs with ‘ 40 to 45 women ‘ and also claim he’ looked on and laughed’ as a priest companion raped a client exist”. Whether or not any of those complaints are entirely true or false was King undoubtedly a philanderer and, as some have claimed, a plagiarizer. The FBI has occasionally been correct in investigations. He did not greatest represent black National heroism. So who is? Also, I don’t understand if there’s one person in particular. However, there are many honorable and significant black soldiers who deserve much more recognition than they currently do. It is important to observe Americans of all ethnic background, but in light of today’s vacation, I will concentrate on black Americans now.

Many of these heroes were deliberately buried in history by former white supremacists or modern-day radical Marxists. Indeed, racism has plagued America for at least 200 years. Because they are reactionaries to the left, and conservatives have a tendency to cover up for Liberals, Confederates, and another white supremacists from the past, we basically deny how awful slavery and post-war Jim Crow were, rather than taking control of the tale of history. I have written , a , range of , articles , about the horrible plans, war crimes, murders, and anti-American activities of the Confederates and Democrats, from Andrew Jackson onwards.  ,
We are also dealing with these people’s choices now, and lying around or ignoring it just keeps the issue at bay. We will have to be truthful if Socialist Democrats are to not continue to rule our institutions and thoughts. The good news is that there are many exciting tales to tell in addition to the calamities.
There were many black Republicans of the Revolution, including the black warriors of Washington’s Indispensables and Immortals. Four whom I particularly admire are Salem Poor and Peter Salem, man heroes of the Battle of Bunker Hill, Phillis Wheatley, the slaves who became a Revolutionary Patriot authoress and America’s first presented black writer, and , James Armistead Lafayette, the beautiful slave-turned-Patriot dual agent whose spy work was so vital 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.  , Cato and Quaco, like Armistead Lafayette, were slaves turned Patriot spies.

There are so many others. Harriet Tubman, heroine of the Underground Railroad. Ida B. Wells, civil rights champion and fearless journalist. 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” . , Medgar Evers, the first NAACP state field secretary 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 who unfortunately “lost” a congressional seat through election fraud , by racist Democrats ).  ,  , Elijah Anderson, martyr of the Underground Railroad.  , 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.  ,
There are in fact so many pioneering black performers, including Bill” Bojangles” Robinson, the Golden Gate Quartet, Fred” Snowflake” Toones, Willie Best, Eddie” Rochester” Anderson, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, James Franklin Baskett, Hall Johnson, Harry Burleigh, and Blind Tom Wiggins.  ,

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.  , The all-black—including all-black officers—370th Infantry in WWI, whose exceptional bravery in battle earned them the nickname” Harlem Hellfighters” and the prestigious French military award, the Croix de Guerre.  , 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, his brother Jackie Robinson of baseball fame, and Olympic champion Jesse Owens.  , 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”. The Supreme Court justice, Clarence Thomas, who has stooped the bar on constitutionality as many of his fellow justices shamelessly ignore or violate the Constitution, is the exception. Democrats pursued Mark Robinson with a high-tech lynching after he told so many hard truths. 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 appears to have convinced Abraham Lincoln that any form of racism was wrong and that black Americans deserved the same rights as white people. Lincoln , told , Douglass soon before he died that he valued Douglass‘s opinion above that of 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” . ,
