Was MLK literate?? His GRE test scores make that doubtful

Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
It was graded like the SAT and he got 350 on the verbal and 270 on the math. Incredibly low scores. Like the Illiterate Kenyan he could probably read but only at the 3rd grade level. He got a PHD but it was in theology!! Anyone can do that.

King took the examination on 3 February. A table enclosed with the test report indicates that his verbal aptitude score is in the second lowest quartile and his quantitative score is in the lowest ten percent of those taking the test. In the advanced test in philosophy, King’s score (on a scale of 100) places him in the lowest third, while his other scores (on a scale of 800) are in the lowest quartile in all the subject areas except literature, where he placed in the top quartile.

Although I strongly disagree with Texty's views on black people, I did come across this:

Torn between loyalty to his subject and to his discipline, the editor of the papers of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reluctantly acknowledged yesterday that substantial parts of Dr. King's doctoral dissertation and other academic papers from his student years appeared to have been plagiarized.

It's curious that when you, and your butt buddy CFM, are asked about academic achievements, neither of you will answer.
 
As Sirthinksalot mentioned above, MLK did plagiarize certain things. That being said, I think his influence in society was mostly positive. The only part of his message that I think was negative was with regard to economics. He did support socialism overall.

I had forgotten about that. MLK was a fraud. So is the affirmative action physicist neil tyson.

Take some Ritalin, fucktard. If you want to talk about a deprived intellect, maybe you should go back and read what you've written in the past year. It's hard to say what's worse you're peabrain troll shtick or your ravaging of English grammar. Count how many times you neglect to even capitalize the identity word of I. You should have learned that in early grade school. You're bad enough to cast aside hating grammar policing.

So what though if his scores were incredibly low? Im sure other pople have gotten low SAT scores and gone on to do great things.

Maybe its like they say that the test is racist and blacks are not meant to do well in it.

The SAT/GRE is racist??? Designed for whites?? Even the math test??? HAHAHA. Why do asians do so well on it then??
 
Yet Dr. King managed to earn the right to call himself "Dr. King," inspired millions of people who sought a better life, is honored for his work, and has a national holiday celebrating his life.

TDAK, on the other hand, is a nobody moron on an obscure political forum desperately trying to convince others that racism is good.

Let's look at your facts, and see where they take us. King placed in the top quartile in literature. That means of all the people who took that test planning to go to graduate school, he was in the top fourth of them in literature. These are relatively educated people, in that they are not just graduating from college, but going to graduate school, so even being in the bottom quarter would have made him literate. But he was so literate that he was in the top quarter in literature.

Just a reminder, trump lied about going to graduate school. We do not know what his GRE scores were, but they were so bad that no graduate school would accept him.

Obama was the Harvard Law Review editor, and graduated from Harvard Law School magna cum laude. That means he was in the top 10% of his class in one of the most intensive and exclusive reading and writing programs in the world. That hardly sounds like someone who can only read at a third grade level.

Just a reminder, trump lied about graduating at the top of his class. he graduated with no honors, and with absolutely no distinctions.

So why won't the Illiterate Kenyan release his college transcript????

Fact is the IK was a terrible student and graduated thanks to affirmative action grading.

Why hasn't trump released his transcripts?

One more time, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School magna cum laude(with high honors). That would mean his transcript is really, really good. It is in the upper 10% of all Harvard Law School graduates. This all is to say you are wrong.

No - it doesn't mean that since his teachers used affirmative action grading to help him. And anyway, if his transcript is so good, why won't he release it?
