6:51, Dr. King was right. In 2008, Barack Obama would become our first black President. And also one of our best.

[@tony84.]

@Cosmic HiFi Worst? Really? Did President Obama storm our capitol? Did he steal top secret documents, take them to his house and share them with our enemies? Did he CHOKE! and allow a CORONAVIRUS pandemic to spread around our country and kill over a MILLION people? Did he not show up like a scared damn rabbit and DOLT for a peaceful transfer of power? Which by the way is what REAL patriotic Americans do...Well...?

[@DarkSkies72]

Obama was the worst and set race relations back 50 years. Joe Biden is Obama’s 3rd term and just look at the state of things now.

8:11, Is Dr. King talking about Trump in 2024???

What would have been an alternative way to prevent the Vietcong from taking over the country?

[@zeusares4217]

Most definitely not an advocate of Black lives matter propoganda. Mutual respect and respect for each others rights is what he is suggesting.
