I love how Martin Luther King ripped apart them 8 clergymen who wrote against him. I think they forgot Mr. King was Educated!

This is why I hate generalizations.  Not all Southerners are ignorant. My parents and I both have worked, campaigned, and protested for not just civil rights, but human rights.

Black men have always faced prison not because of our crimes but because of our minds.

This is a great example Of Philosophical Ethics and how Dr. King applied them as Ghandi did, he was very wise as Paul was it shows that inviolent actions are much stronger than Physical actions. And not only did african Americans benefit from this but so did all Ethnicities that thrive In america if you hevent read "Letter from Birmingham" I suggest you do so

U know what niggaz would do to MLK if he went to prison today? They'd say he was a bitch ass nigga for refusing to use violence. Then they'd fuck him in his butt. Just being real. Niggaz today aint got no intelligence.

Thanks to Attorney Arthur Shores who took the letter out of the jail in a plain wrap,, this seminal letter about justice and human rights may have been lost!

[homerjaysimpson71]

If you have never read "Letter From Birmingham" you should. it will open your eyes to how rare and special Mr. King really was. Also read the 8 clergy men statement first so you can see the difference between 8 against 1....Mr King sure was special.
