>MLK was a conservative.
While MLK preached conservative messages in his speeches, his actions behind the scenes were anything but that. He was a communist, somebody who plagarized in college, and a womanizer who was frequently involved in orgies (most of which involved white women). Many of this came to light (again) when the JFK files were released not too long ago.
The whole "black movement" in the 1960s was carefully planned and helped executed by Soviet communists as a way of causing internal conflict and weakening of America. Everything from Rosa Parks to MLK himself.
