re: #272 goddamnedfrank

King wasn’t like the Black pastors you met with. One of his closest, most trusted advisors was Bayard Rustin. They were so close that Strom Thurmond attempted to slander King by suggesting the two were lovers, introducing an FBI surveillance photograph of Rustin talking to King while King was taking a bath. Bayard’s sexual orientation was never a secret, yet Rustin was one of the few people King trusted completely.

Speaking of Strom Thurmond, I can’t think of anyone in recent Senate history who has his own history white washed so much. I mean we all heard about Robert Byrd’s past and understandably so but Thurmond’s past as the standard bearer for a party whose sole purpose was to uphold segregation, the man with the longest filibuster on record )to protest civil rights), and other racism has been pretty much forgotten.
