Ad hominem.


Bullshit. This thread is about racism, and of course someone chimped out and brought in MLK. He was as violent as most racists of the time period.

You're attacking the person, not the message. Therefore, ad hominem.

Mlk beating or even sleeping with white woman is baseless, has never been shown to be true and has been denied completely by those closest to him.
There is zero evidence of it happening.

No, he was right, your comment was ad hominem. I posted reference to a specific argument he made and you disregarded the argument based on your opinion of him as a person and not the argument itself.

Ad hominem means "to the man". That is exactly what you did.

When that message is directly from someone hypocritical, of course there is relevance.

Logical fallacy. What do you disagree with in Letter from Birmingham Jail?

The absence of any kind of evidence says that its probably not true.
