    The recent release of a 45 year old memo on Dr. King was disinformation then and it’s garbage today. Tells us more about the FBI than Kinghttps://twitter.com/shaunking/status/926787564693942275 …

    J. Edgar Hoover was one of the most despicable men of the 20th century. He was a lifelong bigot who despised & undermined Black leaders.

        It was released for the sole purpose of discrediting the FBI. Even though the FBI now is not the FBI then... There's a reason for this...

        FBI did not release in 1968. Info was never verified. Typical smear job!

        . and they are too stupid to try the only thing they haven't tried yet. Actually being a law enforcement agency. You can tell by how they are militarizing. They don't want to be good guys. They want to be bad hombres like #TrumpTrash #AMDG

        Hoover thought all black civil rights activsts were dangerous & threatened the country. MLK, to him, was a terrorist.

        Hoover himself was a closeted gay, cross-dressing man, who was an African-American passing as White; his anti-Civil Rights was a throw-off
