Anyone feel like posting the transcript of the interview so we don't have to click over to whatever website is linked in the editorial?

There's plenty of sexual sin there, if you care to look. The FBI had recordings of sexual encounters between King and various women. I haven't read anything genuinely prejudicial in his commentary.

I know about the sexual sin. But I bet there's more if people really get into it.

[Mountain Man]

Chronological Bigotry.

Exactly. Who's to say that the opinions of modern culture are necessarily correct?

[Zymologist]

I propose we name the airport after a different, more modern, and less offensive actor. I nominate Samuel L. Jackson.

Isn't there a conspiracy theory that the FBI manufactured many of these accusations in order to blackmail King?

Jussie Smollett.

No, you can't post the whole article here on TWEB. That could possibly (and most probably would) violate Copyright laws. Our policy on that is found here and it says:

Plagiarism and Copyrighted Material

Proper citation is required for any posted copyrighted material. Proper citation includes the author, publisher, and link (if available). If the material is found in a book or other off line resource, be sure to include enough information that another person could track down the original source with ease. A general rule of thumb is to use the same citation one would use in a college essay.

Unless permission is given to the poster by the copyright holder to reproduce the material, the length of the posting must not exceed fair use. There is no hard and fast way to decide at what point posting of material is fair use, but this is a general rule of thumb: Do not post any material exceeding the length of 8 sentences or 1/2 the original. Since this is a rule of thumb, we reserve the right to rule each case on a case by case basis.

If you have specific written permission from the copyright holder granting you permission to post the material on TheologyWeb.com you MUST notify all area moderators 24 hours in advance, furnishing them with a copy of the written permission and material to be posted. Failing to do so may result in the material being removed without notice.

Some copyrighted works have clauses that give readers the ability to fully (or in excesive of fair use) repost their material elsewhere under certain circumstances. Even if you think posting such material to TheologyWeb.com is acceptable under the guidelines, you must seek area moderator approval before posting the material. You must wait for the moderator's answer before posting. This requirement will be enforced fresh on every posting unless waived by an Owner.

These rules were written as an effort by TheologyWeb.com to comply with US and international copyright law. As such, there may be cases where we have to restrict postings due to something we did not legally anticipate or when we feel the posting puts TheologyWeb in danger of entering litigation. These rules will be enforced at the sole discretion of TheologyWeb and posts violating them may be removed without notice. If you have any questions, please contact an area moderator before posting material. We'll be more than happy to work with you to workout something fair.

Judging people in the past by current but ever-changing social standards is absurd.

And that's what's happening.

The problem today is that kids never learn to think about their fellow man. They continue in the selfish, entitled way that our culture teaches them from the minute they're born......assuming they're allowed to live past that point.

[QuantaFille]

Judging people in the past by current but ever-changing social standards is absurd.

It will come back to bite them. Eventually, the current politically correct opinions will be the politically incorrect opinions of the past which will be dug up and used to smear those who held them.

Thank you. I was just mostly worried that I was going to be clicking onto a Playboy website.

Anybody mind if I spam the thread with passages I think are worth discussing?

I will say that throughout the piece, Wayne comes across as surprisingly articulate and well-read.

Quotes about communists: in particular, this is his apologetic for participating in the Hollywood blacklisting movement. Third edit to add: In fairness, these were in the context of Wayne's comments about Vietnam and how he felt about the war, which is the section immediately preceding this. Fourth edit: Removed all of the profanity I could find.

Pages 17-18

Go back and edit out the profanity.
