I'm not martin luther king. i can't be martin luther king. the only thing i can do is present what i feel the essence of martin luther king is.
Kings Essence Luther
The white man supports reverend martin luther king, subsidizes reverend martin luther king, so that reverend martin luther king can continue to teach the negroes to be defenseless - that's what you mean by nonviolent - be defenseless in the face of one of the most cruel beasts that has ever taken people into captivity - that's this american white man, and they have proved it throughout the country by the police dogs and the police clubs.
Country Dog Kings
Just as uncle tom, back during slavery used to keep the negroes from resisting the bloodhound or resisting the ku klux klan by teaching them to love their enemies or pray for those who use them despitefully, today martin luther king is just a twentieth-century or modern uncle tom or religious uncle tom, who is doing the same thing today to keep negroes defenseless in the face of attack that uncle tom did on the plantation to keep those negroes defenseless in the face of the attack of the klan in that day.
Religious Uncles Kings

[...] every now and then i ask myself, 'what is it that i would want said?' i'd like somebody to mention that day, that martin luther king, jr., tried to give his life serving others. i'd like for somebody to say that day, that martin luther king, jr., tried to love somebody.
Kings Thinking Giving
The goal of martin luther king is to get the negroes to forgive the people the people who have brutalized them for four hundred years, by lulling them to sleep and making them forget what those whites have done to them, but the masses of black people today don't go for what martin luther king is putting down.

Forty-two years after dr. king was murdered, we are still a nation of inequality. people of color, women, gays, lesbians, and others are still treated as second-class citizens. yes, things have changed but we have still not achieved equality among all humans. and nonhuman animals continue to be chattel property without any inherent value.
