Great thread and video.


Funny. You hear people on here claiming all the time that protests are "silly."

Why? Explain why you have no interest in what he had to say. How is he of any harm to you?

He is of no harm anymore I have no interest because he was a fraud.

He's a fraud, huh? Really? Then why did J. Edgar Hoover want to wiretap his phone? Why was he considered "a dangerous man"? Why was he subjected to character defamation so much? Why did so many people try to kill him before he was finally killed in 1968? And judging by the first part of your sentence, I have to wonder if you are happy that he's dead.

The way I see it, his work is important for me. I can vote, I can live anywhere I want, and have the same rights as anyone else in this nation, and Dr. King worked hard at making sure that would happen. Of course, I have to wonder what kind of America you would want, especially since if I had been alive in 1950, I wouldn't have had it so good.

Actually, you posted something from a White supremacist site, and one in Swedish for that matter.

You don't think those things would have happened without him? Did ya know he was also a womanizer and communist sympathizer? He was the Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson of his day...I didn't realize the website was a white supremacist one...looked normal to me but like ya said it was in Swedish I read the one article...

Big freaking deal. Most men would be womanizers if they could.

I'd rather a Baptist preacher be a womanizer than a Catholic priest be a pedophile.

You don't know that, and if he was, so the hell what?

Hardly.
