Immortal words by King


I have a dream.......I have a dream that someday my four little children will live in a nation where they will be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I still think King was an innocent victim of a poor shot. The guy had to be aiming at Jesse Jackson.  shootme

That phony-ass JJ has always been a fake. Years ago I read a book titled "And the walls came tumbling down", by one of the founders of the SCLC, (maybe Rev. Abernathy), who said that he was on the balcony with MLK when he was shot, but JJ wasn't.

Well I will be damned. Jesse Jackson said he was standing next to King when he was shot. He then milked this story for so long everyone accepted it as truthful. In reality Jackson posed for a picture with MLK the day before on that balcony. Here is the source.

Now I wonder wtf Jackson has ever said that was truthful. 4pezz2
