    If They'd Listened to MLK, They Wouldn't be Saying...

    "Black Lives Matter"

    They'd be saying All Lives Matter. And, they would understand that all their bitterness only hurts them.

    From Dr. King's speech at Cornell College:

    This is our message, and this is what we are trying to get across, and this is what I believe in, and I believe it will take us to a glorious new day. It will save the $#@! from going into the new age bitter. It will save us from going into the new age seeking to retaliate and get even with those who have inflicted oppression and injustice upon him for years. It will save him from seeking to rise from a position of disadvantage to one of advantage, thereby subverting justice and substituting one tyranny for another. This is why I said, black supremacy is as dangerous as white supremacy. God is not interested merely in the freedom of black men and brown men and any other men. God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race and the creation of a society where all men will live together as brothers and where every man will respect the dignity and the worth of human personality. This is what we work for and this is the good society which we must seek in America. But it will not come until enough people are willing to stand up and mobilize forces of goodwill, to seek to implement that which is just and right.

    Are you trying to be racist? You know he only said that because Donald Trump was threatening his family.

    i think his own people did it. Look at the pic of them on the balcony at the Lorraine. Too convenient. Marched right outside bt his people and lined up for the shot. Without naming names we know who they are and that they did try to grab his power afterwards. They may have had u know who as an accomplice since it served their interests as well
    MLK was alone against the world that day. Ive always admired his place as a pioneer in inciting riots and race baiting. Im serious too. RIP MLK

    It is. He had a gf at the Holiday Inn Rivermont in Memphis only a few miles from the Lorraine. He was advised against contuing to stay there because it was not in line with his class warfare agenda. It also put him on the balcony of the Lorraine. What was done at the Lorraine couldnt have been pulled off at the Rivermont. If u r ever in Memohis you should check out the Civil Rights Musuem. Its a historic look at blacks teaching other blacks how to put their racism and hatred of whites to work to their advantage. It wasnt easy as it sounds. They had to flip a few whites to their side to pull it off. They couldnt have done it without us basically doing it for them

    Notice he had a corner room. Also notice the blind spot to his left as he walked out the door. In that manner if the first gunmen missed another one could sneak up ftom the blind spot from behind the corner and do it.

    Imagine what the left would say about this man if he were speaking his words of Love and Unity, instead of the Liberal approve message of you are oppressed by everyone and you need to hate them.

    His message of hope and success and inclusion would not be welcome with the left and their agenda today.
