   I grew up having to study MLK every year in elementary to JH. one of my biggest inspirations. sad for people who have tried to try and over shadow the things he and the rest of Amerrica went through saying we have it just as bad as they did back then… RIP MLK

     Exactly. The meaning of racism has changed so much just lately, and I think it’s quite disrespectful that we’re now using that word for personal gain. Racism now is no where what it used to be.

   I often fantasize that this country will truly be what it is meant to be for all of it’s citizens. I probably won’t see it in my life time but maybe the next gen will.

    Stop comparing great, praiseworthy MLK civil rights movement to BLM movement, it’s an insult, they’re different. BLM operates out of a marxist ideology they don’t care about black people at all, black people and also NBA players are being manipulated.

    Let’s legalize drugs to stop criminalizing blacks for possession. The prison system would hate that. But it’s what should be done to stop the mass incarceration.

    *Bill Russell a GOAT & Legend* and if you want to call him *The GOAT* for winning *11 Rings, 8 Consecutive Championships, 4 Seperate 4 peats, 1 Championship win as Player/Coach being a Leader, Icon, Pioneer winning in Boston of all places and in a time and era where they didn’t have all the luxuries player have today and it was life and death for Black people African Americans that’s GOAT level excellence

    (Honor & Respect to *Wilt Chamberlain* another GOAT, Pioneer & Legend)

    Remember! 1968 is only 50+ years ago but people wanting us to stop talking about race, we cant and we still dont have justice or equality today and *I’m not victim I make my own way but I recognize my History in this country, my Ancestors, my leaders MLK, MX are gone but what they did and stood for in this country we call America will live on in me and I’ll Never let it die*
