I'm pretty certain had any black people heard what Margaret Sanger had to say to the "extreme racists" of the Women's Ku Klux Klan, none.

I initially defended King by saying that he liked his hookers too much to be a homosexual, until I found out about his...ahem...close friendship to Baynard Rustin.
Who am I to question a liberal black Congressman like Adam Clayton Powell?
In 1960, Powell, hearing of planned civil rights marches at the Democratic Convention, which could embarrass the party or candidate, threatened to accuse Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. of having a homosexual relationship with Bayard Rustin unless the marches were cancelled. Rustin was one of King's political advisers and was an openly gay man. King agreed to cancel the planned events and Rustin resigned from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

It's from wiki, so it must be true....except that the article didn't say that King rehired the communist and homosexual later.
