He was a good man, nothing wrong with people who want to be truly free from prejudice. His dream for America (and the world) is something everyone should aspire to. I am a person of "mixed lineage" and was brought up to respect all people and treat them equally. I got this from my parents, as well as my ancestors. Doctor Kings message is one of hope and understanding. A positive message for all to live by.

Was it posthumously disclosed that he was a womanizer and had children out of wedlock?Not that this diminishes his message or his courage but I think he got a lot of tail.Lots of powerful people can't resist a piece of ass;look at Strom Thurmond he had a black child that he didn't publicly acknowledge until he was about 100.Clinton,JFK,any others?

You misspelled fool.
He also shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Dr. King. A man like that comes along only once in several generations. We could use a man of truth and courage now... |
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Yeah Nagin is just an idiot. He only wants "chocolate" people to come back to New Orleans according to him. Can you imagine if a white mayor said he only wants "Vanilla" people to come back to a city? Can imagine the out cry that would come from that? I guess black people are allowed to make racist comments towards whites and its ok. Yeah that makes sense hello double standard! |
