@sgsfdgfsdfsdfsddf i am black and seeing as how i can not think for myself as you have said .. i am curious as to know why non blacks have long regarded black people as intellectual competetors, resulting in the fear of their advancements .. therefore trying by any means to supress their success ie slavery (as you have mentioned) and failing at almost every turn? my inherent "mindessness" would love for you to educate my ignorance =/

The Mis-History Channel hosted by that spineless trusted newsman, Tom Brokaw

Tis a shame this fascist-led media mis-led the people with the story on MLK.

At the end it has some guy say: There isnt a scintilla of doubt that James Earl Ray killed MLK.

YES THERE IS AND WAS!! contd

(contd)

In fact, in 1993, the King family and HBO conducted a mock trial and found Ray NOT GUILTY!

(Ray had pled guilty under torture and threat to his family)

the alleged murder weapon has never been tested to see if it fired the slugs taken from Dr. King's body.

Ray s prints were not found in the room from which the government alleges the shots were fired.

would ray be so careful yet, leave the weapon?

(contd)

Lloyd Jowers, who owned a cafe in the building from which the shots were alleged to have originated, says that he hid the murder weapon for the actual killers.

Ray has always maintained that he was framed for the crime by a handler named Raoul Miora who employed him in a gunrunning scheme.

It was in that capacity that he purchased the alleged murder weapon.

[denbenenki]

(contd)

Raoul also provided Ray with a series of aliases which the small-time crook would have been unable to obtain on his own.

Each of the names were actual Canadian citizens who were dead ringers for Ray, in one case down to identical scars.

He had information about these men which could only have come from confidential military records.
