@EuphoricalMe2012 I have read many books related to JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, also books related to US intelligence of the 60s and 70s. I also lived during these times. Two books related to Hoover that I liked were; Official and Confidential by Anthony Summers, and My Life in the FBI by William Sullivan. Sullivan was in fact in charge of the FBI smear campaign against MLK and admitted to it in his book. Presidents were afraid of Hoover as he had files on them and knew everything.
@sauroid1 If he did have Black ancestry and tried to go in an opposite direction, that would make sense he would do something like that. People hate others who are exactly like them. What were the books that you had read?
@EuphoricalMe2012 Just an interesting point regarding Hoover that I read about in a couple of books over the years. There were those close to him who thought that he might have "passed", and that Hoover might have suspected this himself. Nothing wrong with having African American heritage, but Hoover was such an arch rascist that this must have caused him great distress. Hoover hounded MLK and he was so vindictive that he probably set up the whole assassination because of his great inner termoil
@sauroid1 EXACTLY! J. Edgar Hoover was racist and didn't give a care about Dr. King. How can you "help" to look for the killer when all of the while you have been spying on him and hating people of Afrikan descent with a passion. If he had the gun, I bet Hoover would have done it himself smh
If I were a betting man, I would say that J. Edgar Hoover had Dr. King killed. I think the rank and file of the FBI knew nothing, just a handful of those closest to Hoover were in on the plot.
Im sure the FBI had something to do with MLK death just like JFK & his brother Robert Kennedy the FBI knows all about it and set it up for others to take the fall
@sauroid1 Wow thank you for the book names, I will look them up :)
