        I was running this morning and @NPR ran a story about this with clips. I had to stop, wipe tears, and consider what we had and what we’ve lost. #MartinLutherKingJr

        It’s like he knew, he had tears in his eyes when he said it. He basically collapsed in the chair afterwards. They say he was not feeling well, but...I always forget he was only 39 years old.

        MLK is a Liar and charlatan. He had no such dream and led many to their premature deaths. NO MORE MARCHING. NO MORE PROTESTING. GET TO KNOW YOUR HERITAGE. YOU ARE THE SEED OF JACOB. ISRAELITES. THE BIBLE IS THE SO CALLED BLACKS HISTORY BOOK. The MESSIAH is #Blackpic.twitter.com/HB9sb8JKGZ
