As a kid I recall how MLK was referred to as a radical. But history has proven he wanted change through peaceful means for the betterment of his race. I do not think this guy was a racist, hater of our founding fathers or our form of government. He just hated discrimination, and I cannot blame him for that.
I also believe that racial relations continued to improve up through about the mid 90’s where it leveled off. Then around 2008 relations took a sharp nose dive into the pits of Hell.
Gee, I wonder what happened in 2008?
Just was at the birthday celebration of MLK at Dexter Baptist Church where he launched the bus boycott. He would have been 90 today. They are still preaching love and non-violence at that church.
