Re: Gandhi's racism - split from Allama Iqbal thread
perhaps mlk didnt know of his racist past, certainly its omitted in most glorifications of him. or perhaps MLK was willing to forego the faults in gandhi and gain from the better stuff from gandhi such as non violence etc. or perhaps he had some insight that we dont of gandhi renouncing his racist past. who knows. you dont have to embrace a persons entire thoughts when you are influenced by him. i dont recall him walking around in a that towel tunic thing gandhi used to wear for instance.
