Are We Ready for the MLK Files? A Hard Look at Black Culture’s Idol Worship—As the anticipated release of the MLK FBI files looms, Black culture is faced with a tough question: Are we ready for what they might reveal? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the dangers of idol worship, how history is often hidden or rewritten, and why it’s time to break away from blind devotion to public figures.

We explore past allegations against MLK’s inner circle, the backlash against questioning our heroes, and how idol worship in Black culture has prevented us from dealing with uncomfortable truths. Using Kendrick Lamar’s powerful lyric "When s** hits the fan, are you still a fan?"*, we examine how deep our emotional attachment to icons runs—and why it may be holding us back.

🔥 Should we stop idol worship in Black culture, or is it necessary to protect our icons? Drop a comment and join the conversation!
