[@ecdagod3495]

@James Saunders You definitely have a point, but not all of them are correct, most of them had nothing to do with Obama. Russia started the Ukraine war. Canada is still a free and peaceful country, Russia is not. The vaccines worked, that's all i care about. Racism will never die. Smart phones have done more good than harm. After writing this, none of these were Obamas fault, a few are from SCOTUS, China and Russia, and the main culprit misinformation and QAnon. Politics aside, none of this was Obamas fault lol

[@edpra7068]

@@OBrien-hi9zq The sixties saw assassinations, civil rights struggles, riots, a 'depraved' sexual revolution, an explosion of drug use, and a war that killed ten times the number of Americans than all the wars since. The seventies continued to fuel our decline with Watergate, the Iranian hostage crisis, the rise of terrorism, Japan's rise to economic dominance, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. We were impotent, a paper tiger so I heard, a shadow of our former selves. Except we weren't. The predictions were wrong then, and I think they might be just as wrong now. For the sake of my grandchildren at least, I sure hope that they are.

Dr. King is one of those speakers who can effortlessly bring you to tears, and just never disappoints.

I think preaching in a church and talking to the people he spoke to helped him with that. He wasn’t a politician speaking blindly to a crowd, he was speaking to people. Just like when he preached, he was just talking to people who had thoughts, needs, and dreams. Even as a teenager who never lived through the civil rights movement, mostly likes to stay out of politics, and disagrees with Kings entire religion, I can’t help but respect the man. A man who fought for what his people needed and didn’t hurt others in the process is one who deserves respect and recognition throughout the ages.

[@youtubeviolatedme7123]

MLK represents the true strength of the United States. No matter how much injustice there may be in this country, he represents all those people, young and old, black and white, man and woman, who hold fast to an unyielding hope that the future could be better. He represents all those people who, in the face of being told that they can't, respond with the timeless American creed: "yes we can"

[@brup123]

The way he quickly stepped away from the podium before he even finished his sentence, as if he was struggling to contain his emotions, it really did seem like he 100% believed what he was saying. If I had my tinfoil hat on, I'd say he had gotten warnings or a tip-off that he was going to be targeted for an assassination soon - and he continued giving his speeches with the knowledge that each one may be his last.

I wish he included "we choose to go to the moon", that to me is one of the nation's greatest moments, the declaration to dare beyond anything the human race has ever hoped to achieve is pure embodiment of the greatness of the United States.

Tbh both speeches sucked

[@michaelterrell5061]

@@puli36 I genuinely don’t get how anyone could say that JFK’s inauguration speech sucked.

[@patty8894]

I was in school the day that MLK was killed, it was heartbreaking. They let us out early because they thought there was going to be rioting. But nothing happened. There were just as many white people crying as there were black people. It seemed like a black cloud had come over America !!!!! Every time I hear the speech he made the day before he died, it makes me cry because he knew that he was going to be killed. It was so sad I'll never forget it !!!!! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@Lionfish5656]

That sucks. The grief was very similar to when John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

only in america people that are trying to do something good get assassinated. the land of the free they say :))

[@UltimateBreloom]

@@solomonaerospace5932 I tend not to consider Lincoln since it was before the microphone. Though he definitely wrote some great speeches.

@@UltimateBreloom That's just stupid.

[@UltimateBreloom]

@@dudeman5300 Why? A large part of speeches is the actual speech. We have no record of Lincoln's speech. That's not to say I don't consider him a great orator, I do. Just that I tend to separate orators to before and after the microphone.
