23030, RE: Definition of a HERO...
Posted by illmeta, Tue Aug-01-00 05:54 AM
For 12 years MLK has been let's say the National Hero for every black person in the nation. Or so it seemed.
I viewed him as a pacifist, a preacher who taught which is write and to follow all of the ten commandments, I thought of him as a family man.
I recently found out that this cat had an affair. This interferes not with him being an activist or what not...but it DOES interfere with him being a preacher and a family man. I do think that this lowers his standing on my Hero-o-meter.
But nevertheless, MLK is still a hero just not as much as I thought. But alas, no one is perfect.
