If you listen to his speaches, he was all for good work ethics. He felt employment was an American dream. He wanted Blacks to be able to earn their keep like every one else.
MLK asked for equality, and nothing more, through Peace.
He did NOT ask for welfare or elitist status. He wanted people to be judged by their character, not their income, their vote, or color, or quotas.
He would be against affermative action according to his speaches. It would belittle the black race to have to still live off the hand outs of the white man. They still wouldn't be free.
I'm watching it now on C-span and I agree, this rally was not about honoring MLK
The State Department's Trafficking in Persons (PC for slave-trading) report is quite enlightening. Note that 13 of the 19 countries in "Tier 3" (the dregs) are predominantly Islamic (13 of 19). There are no Islamic countries in Tier 1.
Some of the Islamo-world's worst offenders, like Mauritania and Sudan, were not even mentioned.
Mauritania (99% Muslim) did not abolish slavery even nominally until 1981 and there are still no legal penalties for continuing to hold slaves. If I read the linked article correctly, the French colonial adminstration in Mauritania (1903-1960) would have been sanctioning slavery, since most Mauritanian slave families have been in bondage for generations.
Crowd Amplifies King's Call for Equality
Full Social, Economic Justice Still a Dream, Crowd Says

Throngs of demonstrators from Washington and across the nation gathered at the Lincoln Memorial yesterday to commemorate the unprecedented civil rights march of August 1963, but some voiced frustration that the rally drew a far smaller crowd than previous anniversaries.

There was no official estimate for the size of the crowd that gathered on a sunny, clear Saturday around the Reflecting Pool, which rippled with a gentle breeze. U.S. Park Police do not provide crowd estimates, and organizers declined to provide a figure. But the crowd, according to one police officer who said he had been at previous commemorations, was far smaller than its predecessors. The 30th anniversary drew an estimated 75,000; the 20th, at least 250,000 people to remember King and denounce the policies of President Ronald Reagan.

About 400 advocates for the poor and homeless arrived at the conclusion of a three-week march from Marks, Miss., reenacting King's Poor People's Campaign of 1968. Before the rally, they built a tent city on the Mall and named it Bushville.
"It's a time for us to show people the kinds of problems we still have in our own country -- 71 million Americans without health care and one in three children living in poverty. How can that be in the richest country in the world?" asked Cheri Honkala, executive director of the Philadelphia-based Kensington Welfare Rights Union, which organized the group. [Note to CSPAN viewers: extreme screechy-voiced COMMIE warning... What am I saying?! The vast majority of speakers today were extremists, America-haters and representatives of commie groups. Make that warning a general Mega-BARF Commie warning for the whole darned thing.]
The demonstrators plan to stay at the tent city through Friday, but Honkala said the National Park Service has told them to leave the Mall by midnight yesterday because of preparations for a Sept. 4 NFL concert. "But we'll stay. If we have to, we'll get arrested," she said. "This is what massive civil disobedience is all about."

The variety of speakers at the rally reflected how equal-rights campaigns have expanded over the years. At the 1963 demonstration, women were not given the opportunity to speak, and as recently as 1983, organizers had excluded gay rights groups from the program.
Yesterday, representatives of both groups gave speeches. Dozens clutched pink balloons from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
"We're all still fighting for equality," said Sandi McCullough-Jones, 52, of Capitol Heights, a consultant who attended with her daughter, also a lesbian.
IMHO what started it was the Nation of Islam and their propagation of the idea that Christianity is "too white", that it's contaminated by the devil-essence of the white man. The significance of the "X" is that it cancels out the white slave name and replaces it with nothingness; it's a symbolic act of annihilation both of the white race and of whiteness, i.e., everything that European civilization has ever done or ever stood for. Most people have no idea how overtly racist the Nation of Islam was in the 60's. They've toned it down in the last 25 years, but not by much.
Not that they have anything to worry about, with their liberal media buddies covering for them -- unlike Baptist preachers who preach against sodomy.
Well, that's an improvement -- at least she's out of office.
