  • Martin Luther King Jr. was a working class hero... God bless him !

  • John Lewis risked his life and endured bloody beatings in order to win basic democratic rights for black people living in the American south.

    He and MLK were critical leaders at a critical time, making sacrifices and suffering hardships we today can barely imagine, and that far too few of us bother to read about.

    They put the "fight" in the expression "freedom fighter," and they showed the world how a fight for freedom could be won based on the principles of non-violence.

  • No one this fuckin' ignorant should have the right to vote. John Lewis is a complete moron. Shine shoes, get on the back of the bus...anything, but make laws. At his best, he might hang off a garbage truck. If he was lucky...

  • Vote all you want, both sides have agreed on the same plan, what ever you vote, the result will be the same.

    You voted for "change", and the only change you have seen is how a president, popular for his color, lost popularity, because those behind him dont let him change anything else.

    As for this guy, he needs a facial reconstruction and some Red Bull to speed up his speech.

  • A complete Nigra moron...

  • MLK was a commie piece of degenerate shit who the jews used to destroy White society.. Fuck him!! The ape wasn't even a doctor!.....

  • Is this guy illiterate or what? He can hardly bust our a coherent sentence, and this guy's in the government? I guess that says it all about how far America has fallen!

  • A true moron... 

  • On Jan. 31, 1977, Martin Luther King's FBI records were sealed by court order until the year 2027 because, as his wife said, "its release would destroy his reputation" These records are rumored to contain instances of bizarre sexual perversion and homosexuality, and proof that King was under the direct orders of Soviet spies and financed by the Communist Party.

  • You bastards need to stop acting righteous on one day out of the year and raising hell the other 364 days. You people are a bunch of hypocrites!!!

  • Hell yeah! Close down the schools and go bang some chick without a condom! Apply for foodstamps and take a hit of crack! Come on, let's vote for bigger government and higher taxes! It's Negro Day! Let's all act like Negroes on Negro day!!!
