Many people of courage participated in the movement, but America does pick “heroes” to accommodate their narrow perspective. While King said and did many good things, it’s too bad he didn’t have, or do a better job with, his kids.
and stay will civil rights, and out of organized crime. confronting the memphis garbage collection racketteers in support of black workers’ treatment evidently was not a good idea.
Having now read the other comments, I see how asaid came up with that. I think the comments amply demonstrate that none of us are perfect, not even Dr King, but what do you want from mere men? Let us continue to strive for out ideals. Obviously we have had some successes over the years or we’d still be huddled in caves.

grayarese asked, “Why do you think this disproves my statement?”
Because you offer no proofs other than your already established bigotry towards minorities. You’re a horrible person.
Plus its not up to Eryx to prove your hate. Just to disprove the misinformation you’re spewing.
