To my knowledge, MLK was a socialist...but he was a peaceful one. I can disagree with his overall philosophy, but I can actually agree with his method and the general sentiments of a society of people whom judge eachother on character rather than race. That's very admirable.
Jesse and Al, are the worst form of African American representation. I hope the average African American doesn't look up to them; they deserve so much more than that.
My main point was actually that Sharpton and Jackson are race-baiting poverty pimps, whereas MLK preached white and black, side by side, peacefully.
