C’mon people, he was a sinner that did a very great thing - he helped usher in the momentum of nonviolent opposition to folks that want to heavily oppress you. Were it not for him and his ilk of other sinners, pro-lifers would have a harder time keeping hope and faith in standing up against the infanticide against the government and political regime holding it.

He helped blacks - he helped the dignity of all to be better reflected upon and supported. He sinned greatly. I break Jesus’ heart every day and I would hope that I would have the courage to risk my very life like he did.

He knew his life was going to end violently - sinner or saint, that takes balls to keep doing what you believe anyway. May Jesus have mercy on his soul.

Thank you deal Lord for that brave man that assumed the name, Martin Luther Kind Jr.!

I’ve been reading a book, “The Founders at Home”. I was surprised how flawed most of the American Founders were. They were brilliant but flawed. It is a well written and researched book, using the Founders own words.

He didn't know squat. And if he were alive today, he'd have his hand out with the other race hustlers. It's a stinking shame that he's a role model whereas Clarence Thomas and Condoleezza Rice are looked at with skepicism and/or contempt.

Excellent post yours! Whether one agrees that there should be a MLK Day or not, it's worth considering the good MLK did, at least once a year.

I'm not equating MLK with the men of D-Day, but on June 6th of every year, I stop and think about the D-Day invasion for a moment or two. I think about the bravery of all those good men.

On June 6th I really don't care to consider how often Eisenhower cheated on his wife.

I agree with much of what you said but sadly, the MLK legacy are those crime and poverty ridden urban streets that bear his name. If you end up on Martin Luther King Boulevard in any major city, it means you have taken a wrong turn and need to get the hell out of there! Lock your doors, roll up your windows and pray you don't run out of gas or have a mechanical failure.

I always thought that was so ironic. That such a man of peace and nonviolence would have the meanest street in the city named after him.
