I gotta ponder that for a moment...Jim Crow -gone. Segregation -gone. The civil rights movement has made tremendous gains in 50 years. I wonder what the statistics were in the late 60's concerning the USA black community? I'm not making accusations here...just pointing out the obvious. In 1968 was 13% of the population responsible for 50% of the murder? Were blacks killing other blacks in significantly higher rates than any other race was killing each other? Was the single motherhood rate in the black community 80%? -no it was 20%. What would Martin Luther King Jr. say about the black-on-black crime phenomenon in Chicago and other democrat cities? What would he say about BLM and the revelations of corruption at the highest levels of BLM? Would he defend it? There is more Federal money going to Historically Black Colleges and Universities now than ever (Thanks to PDJT). There's affirmative action programs in place. Is America more racist now than it was in the 60's? If it is, please tell me how?
What we he think of that goatsee memorial t o the hug
King was intrigued with Communism. He might like today’s B.S.
“Why is my name on the worst street in every city in America?”
Obviously he would think he is a failure.
He would have been worth $Billions and said and done whatever the System demanded.
his legal name is “Michael King”, and his plagiarism was extensive, along with his philandering. was a Communist Sympathizer
whitewashed history

I scratch my head and wonder the same thing.
As far as I can see; the problem began when the left took control of the civil rights movement.
MLK would be sorely disappointed. Dismayed. Perhaps furious. Sure he had his failings (he’s just a man after all).... but his dream of all people being judged by character has been severely undermined by generations of race hustlers and charlatans.
Booker T Washington stated a century ago that there were those who would never let go of their race hustle as they were making too good a living at it. That has not changed.
I don’t think we know enough about Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, principles to have any idea what he would think about anything today. The world has moved on since his day, and we don’t know how he would have moved.
This is a monument / memorial to MLK. If you can figure out what it represents more power to you. I wonder what MLK would think of it.
Wonder what he would have to say about Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson .
LOL! Good question. Anyone with any sense knows you avoid MLK Drive or Boulevard in every major US city.
Douglas should have a day.
I think they are making an a$$ out of MLK.
Character over Color?
He’d want Trump.
How quickly people’s minds are change from what is good to what is evil.
For example, JFK said “Ask not what your country can do for you…”
King said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
These two would not be considered “Woke” today and would be rejected by Democrats, liberals, Hollywood, academia, main stream media, and the deep state.
