Do you know why he was a threat to national security? He went to Russia and when he came back, he began to speak and write about socialism and his conclusion that it was the only way blacks could get economic justice.
Brilliant analysis, I could hardly agree more with what was said, I also feel that the power of the elite to change a person's image is really something to be feared.
I once saw a graff in Buenos Aires quoting Spartacus: "I will return and I will be t-shirts. Che Guevara". This is exactly what becomes of radical thinkers, they are faded out by the elite, Lutherking had no taste to me before I saw the previous video on the channel.
Real News Network edited out some words starting at 6:43. He seemed to have trailed off in his statement, and then Jay started talking over him? OMG, WTF, censorship?! COME ON! Don't edit content out of your interviews, (or at least try not to make it so obvious next time).
people think that only saying bad things about a race is racist. but saying "i love black people" is just as racist as "i hate black people." just believing that humanity can be divided into several large groups that can be collectively identified, characterized and judged, is racist. when a poor youth identifies with and supports an elitist representative of the ruling class just because they are both "black," he is being racist. racism is still alive in sociallly acceptable forms.
Well i hope most kids have at least heard the name Malcom X. If not, crap, just youtube him. Listen to his interviews ! It's important. Forget about the superbowl, forget about the beer, forget about the doritos. Go watch some Malcom X and Martin Luther King videos on youtube.
When people say civility & hostility-I'm not pro cruelty or gratuitous jabs, or put downs-on an interpersonal basis.I believe in still treating people with a healthy degree of consideration-not-hating them-or ad hominem attacks,I think we should be assertive, have a broad,dynamic flexible spectrum in tone and color to express our disdain for racism,economic & assert our views that we feel to be right to bring change-without disintegrating into cruelty,pettiness,meanness-or anything dishonest.
We need a James Baldwin Day. I change my mind, I will make Baldwin's birthday a holiday for myself. I don't need any government mandate to recognize who I choose as my hero's.
GREAT VIDEO!!!! MLK was not only against racism. He was anti-imperialist. He was also anti-state repressiveness, AND HE WAS ANTI PRIVATE POWER (watch the right-wing "free-market libertarians" shit themselves over it).
It makes me laugh how power today uses his image. MLK would have been the first to go against all these presidents and their policies.
Also it was laughable how the Ron Paul crowd used MLK online sometimes. MLK WAS ANTI-PRIVATE POWER. MLK believed in REAL freedom and justice.
This is exactly why I try to treat every speaker without using ad-hominem thinking.
MLK, Gandhi, Washington, every good person you can think of had impressive thoughts ideas and motivations. But it didn't everything they said correct.
The flip side, every bad person doesn't say only bad/incorrect things.
Each side may *mostly* have good or ill to offer but when it comes down to it, you have to judge each statement on the statement.
An eye opening interview, but not surprising at all. I guess it is up to us to search and reach out for the MLK that has been keep away from us. What a fascinating man, I learned more about him in this 15 minute video than I did at school.
Kids watch this? I'm impressed. (I'm usually not impressed by the younger generation). I HATE when people think MLK was the end of it all. It was just a STRONG step forward. The Boondocks episode really says it all. We need a MLK resurrection... seriously.
rich or poor doesn't matter. the human race is desgusting all the same. good and evil is breed from rich and poor. you all need to learn to enjoy the suffering part of sufferage, untill you do, you'll be a detriment to other people around you.
This is the greatest kind of memorial we can give Dr King. Telling the truth, being honest those are the greatest gifts we can give his legacy. I was never told that King was against the Vietnam war. None of my teachers taught me that, my parents didn't tell me that, my neighbors never mentioned that. I only learned about that reality through my own curiosity and diligence. WHY? How many others who are too busy with their lives never learn that Dr King was against empirical wars of aggression?
@WellIAMScottish That's correct. MLK was much more then civil rights; he was anti NWO. Malcolm X realized that this wasn't a black problem but a "human problem", promptly took back his racist views towards whites thenwas also killed. MLK had too much of a following and said too much against the war at the wrong time and we see how both these men's stories ended.
It's also worthy to note that Pat Tillman (another All American hero) was against the Iraq invasion and took their fate as well.
All this talk about race (what does this word mean, never heard it before), bashing private property rights and one man's intellectual constructs to change values is making me nauseous.
MLK was going to run for the Presidency with Bobby Kennedy. Both of them were murdered by elements within the US government. Imagine how much better our world would be if the US government didn't go around murdering The People's prophets.
if king was alive today, he'd be called a socialist, liberal, communist, maoist radical and would be the number 1 target of beck, limbaugh and the neo-cons..
anytime you are about helping people who can't help themselves you will have a target on your forehead. This is a fact. Nevertheless helping the less fortunate, and empowering people is still worth the risk!!! If I had to die because I helped then I'll gladly accept that, because it is better than living in the disgrace of apathetically doing nothing while problems around you continue to persist.
Good point! MLK got too close too the truth and that's why his memory has been distorted into a sanitized version... like Santa Claus or something. But the sad fact is that many of the issues going on then are still present today but are not really being discussed.
Excellent and insightful comments by Dr. Jared Ball.
