Yesterday I was told, again, that he wasn't "Saint" martin, that his life wasn't perfect, that he ...yadda yadda yadda...
What he did was stand and resist, at some of the worst times of injustice in America. At a time when, in the name of Christ and Freedom, and a massive propaganda flood where we were told that anybody can be equal to another, they hounded him not for merely declaring himself every bit equal, but being equal.
What did they fault him for being? Ignorant? No. Dressing or behaving like a hippie, as the new mantra is, "we don't oppose people being black as long as they dress, act and speak "mainstream"? Mainstream being the New White Euphemism. They more than persecuted him for being their equal...
They murdered him for doing so. Pinned the murder not on the diseased society, on mass madness, mass hatred, the culture which enables one Lone Wolf Mentally Ill Social Misfit... but on the one "misfit". James Earl Ray wasn't a misfit, he fit right in with the subculture who murdered Martin King.
How do they miss somebody like that growing like a cancer in our midst? Easy, the Lone Wolf hides in the crowd because the Crowd is like him as much as they can possibly make themselves.
Some things evolve so slowly it seems as though they never change.
