People really need to remember that falsely accusing black people of rape used to be a common tactic to get them lynched.
I don't care if MLK was a womanizer. Rape is bad 'mkay, but that should be seriously investigated before throwing words around. And since the guy is dead, nobody is gonna waste time figuring out the truth here.
Personally, I'm more interested about the Rosa Parks thing. Not the first time I've come across someone saying it was a publicity stunt. But I do think it might be the first time hearing a 15 year old girl was involved.

My guess is that it was a stunt, but based on a reality.
I would wager that the policy was primarily aimed at black men and wasn't strictly enforced for black women so she had to "shop around" for a bit before finding someone who decided to enforce it.
