R.I.P. and thank you for your contributions.
RIP. And always remember the King the last few years before his death, not the white washed one
Dr. King was a ruse used by the U.S. to hide the fact of the changing economic landscape in the Middle East, South America, and Mexico related to oil.
This ruse has worked for over 50 years until I came along with my analysis.

Dr. Martin Luther King had black folks sittin up in white devil's resturaunts being spat on and humiliated so black people could give these devils their money for food that they probably spat in and pissed in, all in an effort to integrate black people into giving white business owners their money while at the same time, abandoning black businesses. Look at the amount of black business ownership prior to Dr. King and look at black business ownership AFTER Dr. King's work.
There is a REASON that white people celebrate Dr. King and gave him a national holiday while practically forgetting about MalcomX, Elijah Muhammad and Marcus Garvey.
Im sure the white business community and its politicians are very grateful. Why do you THINK they celebrate Dr. King. His efforts strengthened the white/asian/jewish/arab community's economy. Now... What is the progress of the BLACK economy?
Happy Martin Luther King Day, folks!
This is no troll shit, this is a fuckin WAKE UP message to black people. Don't hate me, Im just trying to wake up the sleeping. But that usually is a waste of time.

Indeed he is missed. Sadly there will never be another.
I hope not
This needs 365 attention. If this was for say.another leader this would be a 24 7 sticky. Y'all on that bullshit with attention for a fucking day. What if Dr. King put in work for 24 hrs and said Fuck it yall muthafuckas ain't worth it. Where would we be? Behind jail bars teachings Dr. King is nowhere to be found.
Some Kats got these younger kats looking at Dr. King like he was a sucka.
He came from a quality family. His wife was beyond words. Instead of buying a first edition of Dr. King's work folk would rather hit the skank bar.

MLK started having epiphanies before he died; which was the reason he had to die.
The MLK that most NonBlack Americans celebrate on this date is the passive, least threatening, "kinder" MLK.
The NEW/awakened Martin Luther King Jr wouldve been put on the same ignore list as Malcolm.
Happy King day
The FBI and Police Now Admit Involvement in the Assassination of MLK

Nearly 50 years since the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the FBI and Memphis Police Department have sparingly released information implicating themselves or members of their agencies in facilitating and directly causing the untimely death of Dr. King. Although the Justice Department officially claims James Earl Ray assassinated MLK, a civil suit later determined that a Memphis cop was involved in a conspiracy to murder the civil rights leader.
During a rainstorm on February 1, 1968, two black sanitation workers in Memphis lost their lives when the truck’s compactor accidentally triggered. On that same day, 22 black sewer workers were sent home without pay while their white coworkers received compensation. Less than two weeks later, over a thousand black sanitation workers went on strike wearing placards reading, “I AM A MAN.”
On March 18, 1968, Dr. King spoke at a rally in Memphis promising to lead a march later in the month supporting the striking sanitation workers. According to the House Select Committee on Assassinations, a black civil rights group named the Invaders sabotaged the March 28 demonstration by distributing hundreds of two by two sticks attached to placards into the hands of impressionable black children caught breaking store windows. The Invaders allegedly incited violence against Dr. King’s orders of peaceful resistance.
Because of the violence perpetrated during the March 28 demonstration, the city of Memphis filed a formal complaint against Dr. King and his associates within the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). On the last day of his life, Dr. King spent most of his time with Dr. Ralph Abernathy of the SCLC. While Rev. Andrew “Andy” Young of the SCLC had convinced U.S. District Court Judge Bailey Brown to allow Dr. King to organize a peaceful march scheduled for April 8, Dr. King was preparing for dinner with Rev. Samuel “Billy” Kyles.
On April 4, 1968, Dr. King’s Memphis PD security detail had been withdrawn, a black Memphis PD detective posted near the Lorraine Motel had been removed, and two black firemen in a station near the Lorraine Motel were transferred shortly before the assassination. Former Memphis PD Detective Jerry Williams had been assigned to Dr. King’s security detail twice before his final visit in 1968. Det. Williams asserted on Dr. King’s final visit that no black officers had been assigned to hissecurity detail. The day before Dr. King’s death, Inspector Don H. Smith requested to remove his detail. The request was granted.
Accounts differ regarding Dr. King’s final words. According to FBI documents, Dr. King was discussing the weather with his chauffeur, Solomon Jones Jr., when the fatal shot struck. Rev. Jesse Jackson instead recalls Dr. King chastising him for not wearing a tie. Dr. King then turned to musician Ben Branch, who was standing beside Jackson, and said, “Make sure you play ‘Take My Hand, Precious Lord.’ Play it real pretty.” According to Jackson, those were his final words.
Since revealing its illegal COINTELPRO harassment of Dr. King and the existence of at least 5 paid informants who reported to their Memphis Field Office, the FBI also disclosed that Dr. King’s trusted friend and renowned photographer, Ernest Withers, had been secretly working as an FBI informant. In addition to the FBI informants, a black undercover Memphis PD officer named Marrell McCollough had infiltrated the Invaders in 1968. McCollough stood in the parking lot of the Lorraine Motel on the night Dr. King died. He claimed to have been the first person to reach the body.
Although the Invaders had been removed from the Lorraine Motel a few hours earlier, undercover MPD officer Marrell McCollough remained on the premises until Dr. King’s death. McCollough claimed he spent the day shopping with Rev. James Bevel and Rev. James Orange of the SCLC. Standing in the parking lot of the Lorraine Motel, McCollough witnessed Dr. King’s assassination then ran up the stairs to view the body. ABC News confirmed McCollough went on to join the CIA, and he later testified on March 12, 1978, to the House Select Committee on Assassinations.
While recalling Dr. King’s final moments, Rev. Billy Kyles who was standing beside Dr. King on the balcony admitted decades later, “Only as I moved away so he could have a clear shot, the shot rang out.” Kyles has denied working as an FBI informant, even though he was accused of being a confidential Memphis PD informant.
In 1999, civil trial King v. Jowers determined former Memphis PD officer Loyd Jowers had been complicit in a conspiracy to assassinate Dr. King. In December 1993, Jowers appeared on ABC’s Prime Time Live confessing to his participation in Dr. King’s assassination. Jowers admitted he believed MPD Lt. Earl Clark fired the shot that killed Dr. King, not James Earl Ray. Although the U.S. government claims that Jowers fabricated his allegations, they have also admitted responsibility in attempting to ruin Dr. King’s marriage and persuading him to commit suicide.
