Martin Luther King Day

MLK Day is coming up, and it is time to pay respects to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for standing up to segregation and bigotry. His courage under fire is an inspiration for anyone going through tough times. He inspired Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu to fight against the aparthied system. He inspired not only African Americans, but also Latinos, Native Americans, etc to fight for respect.

King was also inspirational in being unintimidated by racist black militants who wanted to "Kill Whitey". King believed in racial reconciliation, not racial retaliation. Unfortunately, too many non-white radicals still believe in racial retaliation! Racial retaliation is the most counter-productive thing anyone can be involved in. King understood that 2 wrongs dont make a right!

I dont agree with King's socialistic economic ideas, but none of that erase all the good things he has done for America and the World.
