    I’m a white man, and in school I’m taught that Dr. King was the man who had a dream for racial equality. He was, and I respected him for that. However, I was never taught that he was a socialist acknowledged the underreported housing crisis, rising wealth inequality, and white backlash towards “radical” ideas. He wasn’t just a preacher, a leader of a movement, he was a man far ahead of his time who argued for a fundamental change of societal values. And that makes me respect him even more.

      @@MikeBNumba6 many teachers don't really teach about him, but about his role in the civil rights movement as a leader because the movement itself I think is usually the focus.. I agree that they should teach more about him and what he was all about. It would help people understand how the problems he outlines more than 50 years ago are still things we're dealing with today, and that even then he recognized them as being critical to true equality and the civil rights movement.

    I was in the audience at Stanford on that day. I will not forget it. We've made lots of progress since then, but the struggle is not over. The deep-rooted problems Dr. King mentioned have not disappeared, but they are more widely acknowledged today. This speech is as relevant today as it was in 1967. We should all listen again and remind ourselves that we have a duty to promote human rights not only in law, but even more importantly in daily life. Thank you, Dr. King.

      My grandparents of maternal side were communists.
      They were true communists, because everybody was in their eyes equal.
      So when the US president Kennedy Malcolm x and Martin Luther King were assasinated;They made a rememberance plaque.It did hang
      for years in their house.
      Somehow the plaque gave me a sense of pride and respect for my grandparents, because they believed truly in equality of men.
      Despite of the communist belief
      I am proud what they teached me.

      That is because it could have been written yesterday. LAWS can’t change the hearts and thinking of devil minded creatures. Our mothers and fathers felt the same way you feel today. At one time WE walked in unity but today there is always ONE or TWO who will be off code. The other problem with Black People is that too many of Us think we know everything. Never humble ourselves to someone wiser. Lastly, FORGIVENESS...When you forgive time after time, after time you become blinded to what is done RIGHT in front of your face. Racism is a DNA gene and like any other trait it has been taught at home, at school through everyday actions of others who possess the same gene. Martin broke through those genes at one moment but his desire to have little Black Boys and Little White Girls eat the same table. One thing is that would confuse those children not knowing who they are first. Secondly, that was NEVER accepted by the Little White Boys and Little White girls. Save your SOUL and SEPARATE from these creatures. Spiritually, Socially and one day Economically....otherwise their Morals of shooting Unarmed people is a Honorable thing will rub off on you. One thing for sure a majority of us are not sleeping anymore. Some of us will stay comatose due to fear. It’s funny they are not afraid of death by their people but afraid of death by the hands of creatures who wish nothing but death upon them. Amazing to observe…
      P.S. I wrote this comment two years ago…it resurfaced by on my notifications. I see that my comment holds true 2 years ago and definitely applies today in 2022. I am a older Black man and have seen the destruction of our people in the name of unification.

The young people won't listen because they weren't taught......WITH BALANCE, ie a Father and Mother household thereby we have this dysfunction. Finally, as far as forgiveness is concerned, "It's a CONSCIOUS CHOICE," knowing that God sees and will handle it without US,sticking our hands in it.

      2. Named after Martin Luther the theologian. ( sudo name).
      3. Worked for the Rothschild and blumberg family.
      4. Goal was integration to save whites.
      5. Blacks had black wall street and would have built it back after it was bomb but they merged with whites
      6. He wanted a white cafe worker but the powers to be said NO. His marriage was arranged with correta.
      7. Correta did much of his work and they helped him cheat on his doctoral thesis.
      8.he attend the racist communist highlander folks school.
      Correta wrote not 1 but 3 books and had a white man to do them for her. In those stories she is basically saying she had a hand in it..
      9. All that preaching check into the S.N.I.C. he was involved with and the lifestyles of their members.
      10. He put hitler down but went to study with ghandi but ghandi didn't like black people. Ahimsa is from the Indian people aka non violence just like many from India so whites can get you to conform to their standards.
      11. If anything got him killed it was telling harry belefonte " I feel I have led my people into a burning home"... you can't join the boule/ masons/ illuminate and get out on that level and after you took the deal.

      It is not black people or non-white people that need to change to make this country and this world better!! Those that devised this idea are the one's that must change.

    Hey Everyone I'm a education activist in Harlem NYC. I see alot of people are asking why they didn't learn this in school. Simple they don't want us or our children to know the truth. We fight for a Culturally responsive education and proper funding of our very segregated schools everyday. I'm so glad you Kings and Queens are watching. We must study our whole history to learn from the ones that gave their lives for us to be here. We demand everything that has been stolen from us. Keep the integration we want ECONOMIC INTEGRATION! Big difference. Remember who we are and do you're part so our children can grow up to be who they are destined to be. Who we are destined to be! Ancestors Bless and make sure you unlearn, relearn and teach our children ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 Systemic racism has grown for 400+ yrs. We have work to do my people! Instead of buying chicken sandwiches and making the other America wealthier. How about we switch the game up and collectively start building capital which leads to resources which leads to power. Everyone of us is GREAT! Let's teach our children we are all leaders and can build generational wealth for our next generations. We are tired of crumbs we deserve have bleed and died for that cake a long time ago. We spend a trillion dollars a yr giving it away to corporations we can't even make a decent living working at. I'm never giving up and I'm going to keep working because my DNA screams never give up! Rise with the Ancestors King👑👑👑

Free Public Education was not intended for us, but Black men were used to build many of the school buildings in the south. The Banks did not create the Financial Regulatory system to include and assist Black Americans. In fact, "The Father of American Finance", Carter Glass' intention was to make sure the African Slave and his descents in America would never be able to use the Financial Systems to prosper in America. Glass was born 1857-1946 and never changed his mind despite the injustices Blacks suffered during and after Reconstruction. Read, Banking In America.

    The audience was still applauding and giving a standing ovation even as the clip was cut off! Truth always has a certain ring to it and that truth is still ringing today! Everything Dr. King said then is true even now. Truth is consistent and shows itself to be the truth without fail.
    May we learn these things together, so that we may come together or be torn completely apart.

      Go back and read Where do We go from Here....Great book. He had been saying these things for a few years leading up to his assassination...His books were Awesome. I think he should be required reading in middle and HS....Why We Can't Wait is a great read a well. I learned about land grants and welfare from rich white people from MLK...

    Wow.. He had such an old aura about him. When I was younger in grade school I just knew he was at least in his 40 or 50's. Credit to dr. King, such a young well versed, powerful being. He was and is still a iconic game changer in his own right.. God is good !!

    Such thoughtful beautifully collected words of pearls , the crown of Truth, He delivers in such eloquence and pain, compassion, arising from his warm heart, full of hope and God's Will. It seems he carries the burden of all human sufferings in his community and beyond, probably at that time his body mind and heart were invisibly bleeding . Love you brother King 💪💪💪❤️

    Dr. King said everything that needed to be said about what was wrong with our society and how it could be rectified. Powerful people did not want to change. They still don't. Now we live in the nightmare. We need to dream the dream again and live it with love for one another.as Dr. King suggested. God bless the beautiful soul of Martin Luther King, Jr. His truth and his love will always be alive in our hearts so long as we have hearts.
