For many people, if they listed words that they associate with the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr, the word “sacrifice” would be one of them. As a civil rights leader, some would say that he made the ultimate sacrifice on April 4, 1968 when he was assassinated. According to his friends who knew him in seminary school, he sacrificed the love of his life to be the man his family wanted him to be, and the man that the movement needed. But if he had had the choice to make his own decisions and be his own man, his lady, most likely, would have been a white one. Betty Moitz.
Let’s get into it.

My grandmother was the cook at a “Go-Go” lounge in New Orleans. It’s long gone now - but was tucked away in the 5th ward a block away from where Bayou St. John begins at Orleans and Moss Street and a few blocks from the legendary “Parkway Po-Boy’s Sandwich Shop” - my grandmother said that MLK Jr. Visited the “Go-Go” Lounge aka “The Strip Club” four times to her knowledge. He enjoyed fried chicken, collard greens, black eyed peas with rice and Cornbread. She only ever saw him drink a Coca-Cola…never alcohol or beer. He liked shooting pool and word is; he was pretty good. He enjoyed watching the women dance. He never tipped, and never got close to the stage - always in the back of the room with his entourage. Before he would leave; he asked to meet the cook (my grandmother) and slid a $20.00 tip into her apron. She had a picture of her and King prominently displayed in her living room for years. The two of them standing in the kitchen at the Lounge. We lost the pic in Hurricane Katrina. Many prominent figures came through that spot back in the day when they wanted to get away from bourbon street and other more conspicuous places. The name? “Dorothy’s Medallion”…I grew up a few blocks away. My grandmother live to be 102 years old. She passed on February 14, 2014…she had the most amazing life. I have many more stories and wish I had the photo albums she had which were full of notable faces like Lena Horne, Redd Foxx, Louis Armstrong…the list goes on. King was a man at the end of the day. Flawed like the rest of us.

The wife he settled on, Coretta, was more beautiful and fitting for him. It's a shame that in his position as a Black man and his work he was setting forth to do, he only had this old wyt woman on his mind. Today they call that talking Black, but sleeping white. And that's not to be trusted!!

[@almamater9346]

Perhaps Coretta was more fitting for his _image,_ but MLK wanted what he wanted and that's ok. I just wish BP would stop trying to force BM to marry BW if that's not what they want, so that they can stop venting their frustrations on BW. The fact that King's marriage had to be manufactured to manipulate BP into helping his cause is stupid. But it explains why people are aware that they can manipulate BP easily by selling us a bs story of about "relating" to us, and getting their come up off of the BC. And two people had to live their lives forever connected, just for these men to come out about their preferences decades later as podcast bros, image consultants, passport bros and manosphere menaces free to chase WW like MLK couldn't and still have heavy BW support 🥴

There is plenty of evidence that Dr. King genuinely cared about marginalized people of all kinds and from your comment it seems like you’re responding to the convenient and false narrative about Dr. King thst paints him as a man groveling and courting white acceptance when in fact he was unapologetically radical and confrontational in a way that was off putting to most white people and covered a whole lot more issues that have to do with quality of life beyond who people can marry. His primary work leaned towards ECONOMIC justice for ALL people, not just race based. That’s not yo say he wasn’t flawed and complex. But let’s not be that reductive. Good job on the video though.

I'm a white guy with an African ancestor from the 1700s. She was captured to be sold as a slave and when placed up for sale a white French physician saw her (the story handed down claims she was exceptionally beautiful, which must have been true as she had been treated especially well by her captors) and immediately fell in love. Needles to say she was never a slave. He married her and my father's clan side sprang from that union.

[@MelanieNevaeh227]

Wow!! Your ancestry story is amazing. Very knowledgeable 💯

This video brings to mind the relationship Walter White, the Executive Director of the NAACP from 1931 to 1955, had with Poppy Canyon, a divorced magazine editor,, which contributed to the divorce from his African American wife in 1949. Once word got out in the African American community that White was in a relationship with a white woman, his reputation suffered.

[@starr21coleman45]

No its what he did before he divorced his wife that made him atrocious First off his an uncle Tom one of the worst ones He wanted to be white and just like Maulana karango He hated his blackness and wanted to be white He harassed Hattie McDaniels and slender her all over the press and black media platforms @ the time after she won an Oscar for gone with the wind He bashed her because he disliked her portrayal as a mammie and or servant But back then if u werent light skinned and slim u weren't getting the best roles And even some of them had to play a servitude role thats just how hollywood was But anyway he went to far After she won her a award He went up to the studio where they would rehearse and he would harass her there he went as soo far as to Bring Lena Horn in the conversation saying things like we need more women like her to represent the black woman on screen... And soo after he does all this black woman bashing He divorces his black wife He was with for how ever many years Marries a white woman And essentially he gets kicked out of the NAACP movement And his own brother makes a statement saying he knew Walter. Always wanted to be white Thats very different from Martin Luther Kings mind set In my opinion Because Martin loved his people@ the end of the day he loved all people But regardless Even if he was in love with College sweet heart he wouldn't go against his sisters in the name of wanting a white woman u get what i mean Happy Birthday MLK jr

[@KOMET2006]

@@starr21coleman45 - You've got Walter White (1893-1955) ALL WRONG. While he was a complex man in many respects, he was very much what was referred to during his lifetime as a "race man." I would strongly suggest that you read the new biography about him (as I did last year). Its title is "White Lies: The Double Life of Walter F. White and America's Darkest Secret" by A.J. Baime. Walter White was born and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia at a time when Jim Crow segregation laws were being established and tightly maintained in the South --- in addition to voting rights being taken away from African Americans who, by virtue of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, were entitled to equal protection under law and the vote just like any other American --- where white supremacy was openly asserted and forcefully maintained through sanctioned intimidation and violence by racist white people and state governments. Indeed, when Walter White was in his early teens, he was a witness (along with his father, who was also a very light-skinned African American man) to the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot. At least 6 African Americans were murdered before his eyes. Years later, Walter White would say that it was this experience which decided for him what he would do with his life. He would stand with his fellow African Americans and do what he could to help them achieve their civil and constitutional rights. Walter White became involved in the fight for civil rights while he was a student at Atlanta University during the 1910s. He and a number of African Americans in Atlanta were successful in thwarting the efforts of the Atlanta public school system to deny entry to the 7th grade for African American students in the city. (The prevailing attitude was that African Americans were incapable of higher learning and better suited as servants and farm workers.) It was also during this time that Walter White made the acquaintance of James Weldon Johnson, the distinguished African American writer, diplomat, educator, and civil rights activist with the nascent NAACP. Johnson had spoken at a gathering in Atlanta attended by Walter White, who later met Johnson and struck up an acquaintance with him. Walter White graduated from Atlanta University in 1916 and went on to work for Standard Life (an insurance company) in Atlanta. For an African American at that time, it was a good job to have. Walter White was fairly content with his life. Then he received an invitation from James Weldon Johnson from New York City to come north and join the NAACP. This was in February 1918. There was nothing to hold him back in Atlanta. (Walter White had been subject to the draft following the U.S. entry into World War I in April 1917. So, when he went to the induction center, he was found to be physically unfit for military service.) From the moment Walter White set down roots in New York and became fully immersed in his job with the NAACP, his life became one of unremitting struggle and toil. Over the next decade, Walter White undertook several undercover missions to the South --- assuming the guise of a white journalist --- "to investigate lynchings, racist murders, and riots [e.g., the destruction of Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921]. Then he would travel back north to report his findings to [African American] newspapers" --- as well as to the NAACP. In reading the chapters of White Lies which dealt with this part of Walter White's life, I was deeply moved by the sheer guts of this man to hazard his life as much as he did. Never once did Walter White shrink from uncovering as much of the truth behind these racist crimes as he could. He had several close calls in which word was whispered round among some of the Southern whites with whom he was in contact of a "colored man passing for white" and what the locals would do to him were they to get their hands on him! Toward the end of the 1920s, Walter White came to believe that the NAACP should begin to establish itself as an influential force in using suasion to compel political leaders to actively challenge Jim Crow segregation laws and practices, as well as hire African American lawyers (and any other lawyers committed to fighting for civil rights for African Americans) to fight against segregation in the courts. Walter White's first direct involvement in electoral politics took place during the 1928 presidential campaign, when he was asked by Al Smith, formerly Governor of New York, and Democratic presidential candidate who happened to be Catholic, to use his influence to bring the African American vote into play for the Democrats. This was a big ask. From the days of Reconstruction and for up to 60 years afterwards, African Americans as a bloc, solidly voted Republican. After all, the Republican Party had been "the Party of Lincoln." The Democratic Party, by contrast, tended to support segregation and white supremacy in the South. But it had become clear to Walter White that the Republican Party had come to take the African American vote for granted and had retreated from its earlier support for full political and economic rights for African Americans. Walter White had a vision of the future of the U.S. political system, which he spelled out as follows: "Eventually it appears to me that we are going to have an entirely new political alignment --- the Republicans will absorb the anti-Negro south and become, through the compromises necessary to gain that end, the relatively anti-Negro party, while the Negro will find refuge in the democratic party controlled by the north. ... Such an arrangement will not, I know, take place immediately but from present indications will occur before many decades have passed," Walter White would go on to be made Chief Executive of the NAACP in 1931, a position he would hold until his death. "White Lies" also explores much of Walter White's personal life, his role in the Harlem Renaissance, and his own literary output. I cannot praise this book enough. It taught me so much about this remarkable man who literally worked himself to death.

[@HeardYa]

Walter White was indeed a "race man" who h8td being blk. He was extremely elitist and colorist and harrassed Hattie McDaniel to her grave. He would eventually leave his wife for a Becky and have a whole second family. The guy was a real piece of work.

Do not sully his image by comparing males that are happily content in their oppression, or going along to get along with a man that openly called out both white and black men for their attrocities and treason. In the end because he was the OG and _only_ true pro black man in the BC, did that make him a target for both black and white men. There is no comparison to him or MLK today in BM. Not even close 😒

The FBI engaged in Psyop activities called Cointelpro. They tried to blackmail MLK. They had a vested interest in doctoring up and exaggerated lies about MLK. Their goal was to destroy him. None of the FBI PAPERS had proof, just questionable informants the FBI likely threatened and paid to tell lies. They never came at him with these accusations to destroy his rep. Because they knew it wouldn't hold up. What they had to do was kill him instead.

In my opinion, I feel like most black men either desire or secretly desire white or non-black women whether they pursue a relationship or not. If given a chance I think they would even if it were privately. But for some reason, the ones that do, wear them on their arm like a trophy as opposed to black women.
