who tf dislikes anything to do with Dr King rhetorical question, all dislikes come from racists

[@colonelangus8247]

Karl Marx, Dr King was a outstanding man but too say any criticism of him is racist is ridiculous no man is perfect. Do you even know what racism is or is it just a word that you toss out to quash dissenting voices?

[@greglopez884]

+Colonel Angus not every idiot who voted for trump is racist, but every racist kkkunt around this country voted for trump....fuck trump, fuck pence, fuck the kkk...

Beautifully done, Amy! So moving, sad and inspiring. Such a prophet--his words on the triple scourge of America ring true today.

[@dinkster1729]

And today, on Jan. 7, 2024! More true than ever before.

[@jose-jacoboyanez5388]

Whoa this is so relevant to today, for it is reflected with the North Dakota oil pipeline being forced through and how the people came together in solidarity with the Local Native American Tribe with legal rights to the immediate area& millions of other people down river that are affected by such. Remember how the Vietnam war vets came out &braught a halt to the unprincipled treatment of the water protectors through Non Violence. Remember how support/people from around the world froze there ass off to come stand in solidarity against injustice. It seems to me people will come together in mass when certain calls for rising for ones principles are heard right down to ones core. To hear Dr. Kings words reassures me instantaneously that through non violence &creative action we can live in a better world. We are gonna get hit by bricks, &some even perhaps murdered along the way but that, to this day will not &has not stopped the principles this man stood for that would always continue teaching others &having an positive effect on life. ❤

Love must overcome Evil before there is Peace. And Love starts at Home. God is Love. The Spirit of God is in us. Those of us that have God's Spirit in us; Must Activate that Love; At home, In our Neighborhoods, and in our Communities. We must all remember since the beginning of Time there has been a War going on been LOVE and HATE. LOVE IS THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON AGAINST HATE. THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS LOVE. ENOUGH SAID!

[@rigatoni_joe5090]

He fought, he won, racism is gone institutionally and systemically. It hasn’t returned.

[@livengoodjames7406]

Capitalism is beautiful. 🙂

[@alexventura5407]

WERE THERE THOUSANDS OF BLACK PEOPLE HOMELESS BACK THEN NO THERE WASN'T TALK ABOUT HOMELESS BLACK PEOPLE AND ECONOMIC OPPRESSION THESE DAYS !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gloriaguerra3528]

Why they never talk about him being a womanizer and frog addict, 🧐🤨

[@michaelepstein2570]

There is way too much talking about stuff we already know. Too many people are do-nothing talking heads who repeat over and over again stuff we already know. The question is: what are we going to do about it all?

[@michaelepstein2570]

How exactly do we get from where we are today to a Whole New Way of Living rooted in Love and Wisdom? i don't mean solutions. We already have gazillions of creative practical solutions that have not been implemented yet. i mean how exactly do we get into a position where we can actually implement those solutions on a grand scale? Please present your proposal. Spell it out: step 1, step 2, etc., and be as specific as you can.

[@michaelepstein2570]

The level of willful ignorance and shameless apathy is mind-boggling. In the age of the internet, ignorance is a choice. "Who is really running the world today?" facebook.com/pages/Who-is-Really-Running-the-World/194810833893415

[@michaelepstein2570]

The dynastic plutocratic families, the corporate oligarchs, the international banksters, many of whom are Zionists (like the Neocons and members of AIPAC) and/or members of secret societies, who dominate the politicians and the legal system and the financial system and the mainstream media and the corporations and the police and the military, have been wreaking havoc upon the People, both here and abroad, and upon our beloved Mother Earth, for decades. We must enter the seats of public service. We must make sure that only the most Loving/most Wise among us become our public servants. Then we will be in a position to change the laws and reign in the intelligence agencies, the police, and military. Then the way will be clear to implement the gazillions of practical creative solutions we already have on a grand scale and to finally begin the process of transitioning to a Whole New Way of Living rooted in Love and Wisdom without any need for government So what's missing? PEOPLE...at least 80 million individuals who are well-informed, free of misinformation and disinformation, on all the major issues of today AND who are devoting their time, energy, resources and talents to the political process. Since 2010, i've been waking up and mentoring around 10 NEW uninformed/misinformed individuals every week, helping them become well-informed, free of misinformation and disinformation, on all the major issues of today AND inspiring them to give their time, energy, talents, and resources to the political process to make sure that only the most Loving/most Wise among us become our public servants. It is imperative that each and every one of us, without exception, does the same. If you can't do 10, do 5. If you can't do 5, do 3. Then make sure each one of them does the same. Just don't do nothing.

Here's my proposal: First the cities, then the states, then the nation and then the world. "Creating a Wonderful World. (let's get it done already)" facebook.com/groups/379816208803429

[@iyamnobaudi4851]

Very shortly humanity will understand not all "races" were created equal or by "god". And it is not our place to judge another because we are just the fish in this fish bowl. Those who really created our world will return soon and there will be clarity for those awake enough to hear.

[@jdlflagstone6980]

Iyam Nobaudi, we are all equally unequal. Weather you look at individual people or any "groups", each will have different things to offer, different needs, etc. Nothing to do with race any more than it is about eye color, height, IQ or religion.. We are all different and we are all here trying to survive and thrive. I for one don't care who or what made us or for what purpose. It's up to us to make our world, not god or aliens or the government, it's individual people making small choices every day.

[@rthawknatanabah1759]

Iyam..our children of all walks of LIFE are Marching and speaking for there FUTURE , all over the world..
