  • MLK was killed.

    Malcolm X was killed.

    Gandhi was killed.

    Rabin was killed.

    When can we stop killing people who are trying to tell us the error of our ways?

  • Notice that on MLK day, no one in the media talks about his anti-war and political views?

    MLK not only challenged the racial inequalities, but the structural and economic inequalities that continue to keep the US in a state of barbarism.

    Obama uses phrases like "arc of the universe bends towards justice" yet is bending over backwards to sell out poor Americans to J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs etc. while EXPANDING war abroad.

    MLK would be disgusted by Obama IMHO

  • @2xtream I believe men like this exist today but many are afraid to sound their voice.

  • @micahgee Obama has fought militarism, economic exploitation and racism.

    He is shrinking the military, fighting exploitation and sluggish development of the big, established companies.

    I can't say about racism though, but I'm sure he opposes it at least :s

  • this is why he was assassinated. for speaking the truth.

  • I have to say listening to this is an extremely harrowing and chilling experience. When he says "god told me to tell you this morning" shivers go down my spine. He won in the end, put he paid a high price with his own life. People like him only come along once in a lifetime. Speaking the truth often makes people scared and upset, its sometimes the hardest thing to do. But in the end you have to do the right thing, it takes a lot of courage though. Something MLK had in bucket loads.

  • Truth.

  • Im asian and I believed growing up that my family was a victim of communist oppression. As time passes and history revealed I find that my family is responsible for the oppression of the poor

  • Where have men like these gone... Lord where have they gone.

  • This is what Dr. King was REALLY about, but barely anybody knows this.

  • I love you always Dr. King!

  • HE'S AN AMAZING MAN...AND HIS SPIRIT LIVES ON...X
