His honesty is so compelling... it's his humility that stands out the most... every interview I watch with this great man... the interviewer is looking for the right question to trip him up.. but the result is always the same... a deep sense of respect for his honesty, humility and incredible insight... he was way ahead of his time in America...

That interviewer needs to change his tone. Good ole MLK keeps calm and kind. So awesome that he doesnt just preach his ideals but he tries to live them!

@PresidentOfTheBlack ~ This is the Secretary of Love~ It is easy for me to tell you not to let the white-man's evilness get to you. But that's not how they wired us. Humans that is. It's all been a sham, scam by a god dam man. That's the little g god not the Big G GOD. Look at Michael Tsarions videos on Origins of Evil and maybe it will help you understand as it did for mE...R.I.P. goes out to the Original King Of P.O.P. Prince Of Peace....I SolemnlySwear@Injustice4All...­3rd St.Issa Believer!

@3RDNBZ~3RDNBZ stands for the block I'm from 3rd & Barrett~Richmond Ca. I'm proud of where I grew up. Although it was the ghetto, and I was a minority within a minority who was the majority in '68.Confusing? Not anymore. I'm starting to understand why I have such empathy 4 Blacks. It's why I cry when I see animal cruelty or get mad at a bully. It's in my DNA. Love over Hate. They say the Origins of evil is a relatively new thing? And our Brain is not our guide. It is the Heart!....The HEART!

@kill60061e ~O.K. I qualify Iv'e lived in Richmond Calif.'s ghetto since I was born Dec 9 1963. Me & my nephew started kindergarten in sept of 1968. Just two months after Riots changed our city forever. Besides us there was only one other Non-black in our class. So I would like to say a few things about Blacks. No.1.) To the guy you called a racist pig.~ Your'e Right! You didn't mention race in your comment.~You exposed it with your Hate towards Dr. Kings message of LOVE! (cont. next reply)

@steelermia I'm not rascist, have tons of white friends. But, I have to stand up for my race, because we can't get you to understand our ethnicity if we don't.

[christbeliever92]

@steelermia first of all, know your facts! it's black on black crime! AS BLACK PEOPLE WE'VE BEEN KILLING EACH OTHER. But what we do know is that every since Malcolm x and MLK passed. it's been horrible between the black race. Only thing I've known black folks to say about whites is I'm tired of the man. But other than that we don't think about ya'll. But you're right if white would quit treating us as if were illiterate we wouldn't seem racist.

[steelermia]

@kill60061e sorry not going with your stance .. blacks these days are much more racist towards whites .. black on white crime is OUT OF CONTROL ..rape, murder, robbery .. blacks are ALLOWED and almost egged on to be racist towards whites in today's world .. you think whites are supposed to shut up and take that .. get the fuck outta here .. mlk wanted 'equality' .. that's not fuckin' equality

[kill60061e]

@steelermia WE BEEN CRITICIZED BY WHITE PEOPLE FOR 500 YEARS+...AND SINCE WE'VE BEEN PLACED UNDERNEATH THE FEET OF WHITE PEOPLE FOR THAT SAME TIME...SO MANY BLACK PEOPLE THINK WHITE CRITIQUE OF OUR WHOLE BLACK NATION IS TRUE...THAT IS THE REASON WHY WHITES ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO SPEAK UP ON ANYTHING BLACK...YAWL SIMPLY FORM OPINIONS BASED ON CONJECTURE AND RACIST VIEWS,SO UNTIL WHITE COME DOWN TO THE GHEETO AND LIVE WITH US FOR AT LEAST 20 YEARS...YOU CANT SAY JACK ABOUT BLACK...BASICALLY

I love the intellectual approach that MLK Jr takes in this interview. It is obvious that he is looking for a way to back King into a wall. But he never does.

[Sgreenenov13]

@jemal99-that is completely wrong. do some damn research before you talk about stuff you don't understand.
