Just because the files are not open, doesn't mean we don't have some idea whats in them.


Presumably the files will be opened at some point. Is there anyone here willing to wager that they will give any indication that MLK was a pedophile? How young are we talking? How much will you wager?


I was speaking in general terms.

Do I think MLK was? No. Do I think there are secrets in his files that would be embarrassing to him and his kin? Oh sure, there are no saints, and everyone has a couple of skeletons. The assertion in this thread what that he was a pervert - that does not inherently equal pedophile it likely means pervert by the standard of the time - which by todays standards would be merely kinky.


The only reason MLK came up here was this claim:

[Ron Paul's] newsletters called Martin Luther King Jr. a pedophile among other things.
