He was one of the Illuminati members sent to preach equality and justice for all people. God. Love. Don't you know? He caused such an incredible movement for Civil Rights and was then killed in his hotel room because of the changes that might happen if he continued on. Get real! I hope your comment was a joke.

As the Ancient Greeks said: "The centuries copy each other." Sadly, that is true.

It sounds like he could have been delivering this speech yesterday--just replace Iraq with Vietnam.

Preach on, brother! I hope he gets ass cancer and has to lance his ass polyps daily. May his gay father get aids from a prison guard.

FUCK YOU! How dare you insult this persons family! He can say whatever he wants. I hope you bleed AIDS onto your childrens pancakes and they die a slow painful death. I'd gut you like a fucking fish you waste of sperm. I bet your father wish your mother aborted you. You piece of shit! Fuck off!

Not possible. I have bastard kids everywhere, fuckface. Don't blame me because MLK's asspipe had more black shit running through it than the Alaskan pipelines.

I hope that you and your entire family die hideous fiery deaths so that the earth can be purged of your presence and of your disgusting lineage

I admit that I dug up MLK and had sex with the hole in his head. I shot ropes of dicksnot in his skull.The only problem was his Irritable Bowel Syndrom. His fanny was a volcano; gasseous, steaming, smoking, and finally spewing lakes of hot molten ass lava.

If you truly are an English professor, then it's no wonder that this country's educational system is on a perpetual decline. Not only are you pitifully ignorant, but you are also a coward to call into question the character of a man who endured police brutality, attack dogs, fire hoses, jail and horrors which you could not begin to imagine much less have the courage to face.

One thing: Obama should heed MLK's anti-war message. We cannot occupy countries and say we are bringing democracy. We should take out bin Laden but we shouldn't interfere with gov'ts abroad and call that democratic

MLK jr. should have been President.

Thank you MLK
