>She told an FBI interviewer it was "the worst orgy I've ever gone through," The Times wrote
>King screamed things "I'm fucking for Jesus!" and "I ain't no nigger tonight!"
One of King’s closest friends, Ralph Abernathy, wrote a book in 1989 in which he talked about King’s obsession with white prostitutes. King would often use church donations to have drunken sex parties, where he would hire two to three white prostitutes, occasionally beating them brutally
>But in an advance copy of the book, Abernathy staunchly defends his friend's morality, without condoning his activities. He explains that he felt compelled to write of "my friend's weakness for women," and devotes part of one chapter in the 610-page book to King's private affairs.
>King "believed in the biblical prohibition against sex outside of marriage. It was just that he had a particularly difficult time with that temptation," Abernathy wrote. "We all fall short of the mark... Sexual sins are by no means the worst. Hatred and a cold disregard for others are the besetting sins of our time."
>Abernathy said he might have avoided the matter had others not dealt with it in detail
>He said he wanted "to make some attempt to render justice to the dead without causing too much unnecessary pain to the living."
>Abernathy names none of the women with whom King allegedly was involved. He said extended travels during the civil rights movement were one reason, but not the main one, for King's extramarital liaisons
>"He was... a man who attracted women, even when he didn't intend to, and attracted them in droves," Abernathy said. "He was a hero - the greatest hero of his age - and women are always attracted to a hero."
>Abernathy praised his friend for courage, saying had King "been a coward rather than a truly brave man... we might still be riding in the back of buses and eating in segregated restaurants."
