What's crazy is that most of the accusations against his moral character are true. He caused a great change to take place in the nation, but he was not an upstanding individual outside of that.

Good thing the FBI doesn't do this anymore hahaha yes we are certainly safe and they are definitely not infiltrating groups and people's minds in order to discredit and trick them into failure.....

To be fair, it's also true that we need more people like him and fewer people like the ones on the other side.

What is inherently immoral about having an open marriage? Did MLK go around preaching about the sanctity of monogamous marriages? No.

How were his orgies any different in moral character than the orgies the effective altruists throw?

		I'm not aware of any good evidence that MLK was in a open marriage. He was just cheating on his wife. His wife stood by him as wives were often expected to do back in the day, but that doesn't mean she was a willing participant in a nonmonogamous relationship.

The orgies? He shouldn't have gone to any if his wife didn't approve. But anybody that can go with their conscience in peace should have orgies more often than they have wine. "You shall not hate your kinsfolk in your heart. Reprove your kinsman but incur no guilt because of him. You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against your countrymen. *Love* your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD." (Lev 19:17–18). What the priests and the FBI say is just politics :-).
