      This is the Dr. King which should be mandatory curriculum in all our schools including private schools, and if any school refuses, they should be brought into compliance kicking and screaming if necessary. He was a gift who was taken from us before we could see all which was wrapped within. What kind of country would we have now if we could have been able to fully know and understand everything about his phase two. Compare that with what we have now and the direction it will take us, and if you are a person of good will, your heart will break. It's time for a new struggle. a peaceful one, not a fight. One which is well thought out, and sends us back toward a "genuine equality"

      Remember what we are watching is a person saying to a country that treated a race people less then human. This man words are so different then when he spoke them 56 years ago? When this was recorded Dr. King was 11 months from his last breath. We want to forget or we could care less want he said, and this makes us feel good about ourselves. This isn't a brilliant observation of a country founded on Chattel Slavery. All these comments about what a great man he is, what a great speaker he is, is ridiculous. THIS COUNTRY KILLED HIM BECAUSE OF WHAT HE WAS SAYING. Dr. King was hated by 80% of America when he was alive. Doing this interview the majority of America hated him. Today America has turned back every legislation he marched and spoke on has been turn back to the 1950's. America's problem is the ancestors of the formally enslaved. There is a hate of those who carried the names of those who enslaved them. And it is a hate rooted in the formally enslaved SUCCESS.
      So I have a problem with this country love of a man of peace. Who they despised the majority of his young life. And as always as this country always does, it deals with it's problem with violence.
      So keep your happy commits and all your great vibes for the greatest apostle of non- violence the world has ever know, but he couldn't escape what America is best know for the world over, VIOLENCE!

Even then they are missed many of His truths, even then they a far from perfection and rightness, still He uses them and make them His jewels for His necklace and the Lord's crown! Dr. Luther had missed many chapters of the Scripture, that why we still have slavery as they had in his time and before him!

His words were “it looks like down here you can live in the same neighborhood as long as you don’t cause trouble. Where I’m from no one cares if you cause trouble but you better not be in the wrong neighborhood.” At least in the south, if you meet a racist they’re honest. One of the reasons I stopped supporting Democrat’s and became an independent is from having to deal with the subtle bigotry of low expectations from so-called “well-meaning” Californian liberals.

      He was trying to get reparations for us, he knew of the Homestead Act of 1866. MLK just said it in his own words about integration being the first stage meaning that it was symbolic and the most difficult part is getting tangible resources from the government. There's footage of an FBI informant that said that MLK was going to ask the government for 10 billion dollars. This is why we must continue to push for reparations, it is a historical debt, not a program for all to benefit from, and that includes the Statue of Liberty, there's shackles and chains on her feet. We must continue to know our history in order for us to unite ! B1

The only difference now is that it's being done more covertly. Amerikkka is not a country, it's a corporation. An evil racist corporation that only serves those who it CHOOSES to serve. Now in todays time "they" make it hard & very complex for black ppl to have any legitimate opportunities but make it very easy & "hire friendly" for ALL other non-black races. Hindu/indian people, jews, spanish people, asians, etc., coming to this country every year by the hundreds or thousands & gets comfortably situated in amerikkkan society to where the US government quietly gives them everything they need to become successful in such a short period of time. You have immigrants who have absolutely no education nor job skills but yet is still able to gain so much in very little time. Some immigrants who's in this country illegaly with an extensive criminal history back in their own countries are able to gain so much in amerikkka with plenty assisstance from the government. Black unemployment is ALWAYS very high because black entrepreneurship is ALWAYS very low & the U.S government has certain people in certain positions to make sure it'll always remains that way

    MLK Jr. was a global thinker who evolved. The so-called "I have a Dream" speech was repackaged to misrepresent his work. If you listen or read the beginning of that speech, it was a critique of capitalism and the injustice that black people endured in this country. His breakdown is masterful regarding black people's plight in the north. It's interesting, that his position had become similar to Malcolm's position regarding the treatment of black people in the north as well as liberals' commitment to equality. Malcolm X stated that black people need to stop talking bad about the south, Malcolm stated "as long as you are south of the Canadian border, you are south." MLK Jr. will always be my hero because he put his life on the line, to challenge the injustices in this system. Listen to his comments about "white backlash." Black people are now in 2022, and still face white back lash (i.e. 1/6 Insurrection and voter suppression). Lastly, it's amazing that history doesn't want to recall his position about redistributing wealth, to right the wrong, that was done to black people.

      Yes, it is, with some differences! Do you know why? To fight against segregation is not the same as to fight against slavery! Equality from the points of vision of Dr. Luther was NOT enough for the conception of the full truth of equality according to the God's Truth! That's why: in the past we had segregation and slavery, and MLK's movement fought against segregation and equal rights as citizens only, but they have never fought towards slavery itself! Dr. Luther had never mention that any job must be equally respected for many reasons, and must come in a result for any laborer in a equal appreciation of his hour of labor to other employees of the company inclusive the boss! If you do NOT have a solution for slavery and you keep his prosperity, it is a fullness to fight against poverty and full yourself! Till you keep and feed slavery, no matter how much you pay your employees: a 10 million check or a $100, you are slave -owner till appreciate their labor differently! Check the parable of Christ about a householder and his vineyard (Matthew 20, Mark 12, Luke 13)! How is to appreciate everyone the same, even their labor were different! Is it fair? It is more than fair! It is generous towards who work less, but are appreciated equally! What a generosity? What an equality?

      History knows not so many people, dedicated to do God's will, and all of them were martyrs for their thoughts and faith in God! All of them had suffered a lot and felt a huge press from evil's power (Yes, it is! He still has a huge power!), but remained devoted to faith and God! For this reason they are safe for His eternity and He is proud of them! An unique for the contemporary society revolution of faith, revolution of God, revolution of love and for love in the only right and based on Scripture's principle - is None violent way of sharing thoughts, feeling, and faith to take your rights back and to use them properly for the God's will! History does know such experience and movement any more as MLK's movement had and achieved, unfortunately! Shame for all humanity and praise the Lord for His servant, Dr. Luther! I am sure, human society during history by today, 2018th, did not appreciated what was MLK's movement about and their relation for the equality for humanity worldwide! But I do hope, the time will come soon when human being will appreciate God's truth more then their selfishness, and will be moved by His love toward each of us! I do be-leave, the common sense and love for truth and Gog will give power of His Spirit to prove Him who is His child and will help them to step on the narrow way of liberty and eternity! God help us to follow You everywhere! Amen!

The only difference now is that it's being done more covertly. Amerikkka is not a country, it's a corporation. An evil racist corporation that only serves those who it CHOOSES to serve. Now in todays time "they" make it hard & very complex for black ppl to have any legitimate opportunities but make it very easy & "hire friendly" for ALL other non-black races. Hindu/indian people, jews, spanish people, asians, etc., coming to this country every year by the hundreds or thousands & gets comfortably situated in amerikkkan society to where the US government quietly gives them everything they need to become successful in such a short period of time. You have immigrants who have absolutely no education nor job skills but yet is still able to gain so much in very little time. Some immigrants who's in this country illegaly with an extensive criminal history back in their own countries are able to gain so much in amerikkka with plenty assisstance from the government.

    I was 7 months old and 4 years old when Dr. King made "I have a dream" speech and this interview. It strikes me hard to see that in my life time we have had some advancements but America is still struggling with Equal Rights. It is amazing to me that now approaching 60 years old that their are still some people that don't look at human beings as equal, "Like Me", human beings.

      Really? Isn’t that sort of par for the human mind? Isn’t it human instinct that drives the human ego to believe in one’s own superiority? Couldn’t it be that people see themselves as superior as opposed to seeing others as inferior? That changes the narrative, doesn’t it?

    Isn't that funny? I had never thought about the fact that European immigrants were encouraged to come to the USA and get free land, yet the native black population were not offered the same courtesy. Being a big fan of history and railroads (who encouraged settlement of the West), this thought simply never occurred to me. MLK continues to shine a spotlight on my ignorance, even 50+ years later. I am SO glad I came across this video. And I promise to keep on learning.

      it seems to me society as a whole has been in a kind of social loop since the late 60's. I'm not so sure that's purely an accident anymore.
      Take this interview for example, it cuts off practically mid-thought right where it'd seem natural to discuss ideas for solutions. I doubt it was edited out for the sake of brevity. I wonder why.
      This reminds me of another thing I'm sure crosses most people's minds more than a few times: why is discussing ideas for real tangible solutions to inequality and poverty practically banned from all major media? Why are we constantly served bad faith arguments of talking heads packaged as dialogue instead of, oh I don't know, a real dialogue?
      I think this dialogue is purposefully being suppressed and this repeating cycle every 7-10 years is a symptom of that.
