His message?

Would that be economic Marxism or military pacifism? He has no business being associated with money.

we propose an American whose tragic early death brought us together:

IS THIS PERSON NUTS....brought us together...all it ended up doing was polarizing the racial lines even further with programs like affirmative action.

I have a great deal of respect for Dr. King, but Dollars should be reserved for Presidents.

Porter...you can't just look blindly at his nice message.

Jefferson is one of the greatest men in history, but he was a slave owner. Does that dimminish his accomplishments or life, no. But it does show that he was human and can be questioned on some of his actions.

King had a good message...(not nearly as good as Jefferson's, but good non the less)...but he also had alot of demons and faults. To ignore those is foolishness.

Very interesting. I wonder if that is the note I read about. It says gold certificate on it so maybe that is in circulation among the public. Thanks for the find.

Put (Martin Luther) King on the 20 (dollar bill)

Not until 2028, when the FBI records on King, including the Venona intercepts regarding KGB contacts with one or more of King's henchmen, who included Jesse Jackson and Amdrew Young are open to public inspection. That'd go a long way toward proving either that King's activities were used by Soviet infiltrators and agents within his trusted inner circle of lieutenants and advisors- or that King was indeed in fact a knowing Soviet agent himself.

If the truth about King can't stand the light of day, there's certainly no good reason for any public adorationof the man. If he was used as a dupe by thopse who betrayed him, however, I might reconsider- after all, even Jesus had a betrayer among his dozen Chosen followers.

Put (Martin Luther) King on the 20 dollar bill? Maybe. But certainly not until 2028.

MLK clearly makes you angry. Here is a picture so you can sleep to night. Some of us respect and care about his message.

Here's another:

The main reason I don't support MLK OR Reagan being on the 20, is because it replaces Andrew Jackson.

I agree with that... I really don't care, it is just one poster is comparing MLK to rapist and murders, solely because he is black. How ridiculous is that??
