Family of Martin Luther King Jr. Wants Share of Obama ‘Change’ Merchandise
I saw something in the news tonight that made me stop and think and honestly, got me kinda angry and I try to be objectionable in my reactions when I first read a story like this but the truth is very clear here so I’m afraid I’ve drawn my own conclusions. What I gather from this is it just seems like there are people out there supporting Obama who is living the dream of Martin Luther King Jr.—equality and an end to racism…. wait…. UNTIL THERE’S A BUCK TO BE MADE!
FoxNews reported:
ATLANTA — The family of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is demanding a share of the proceeds from the sudden wave of T-shirts, posters and other merchandise depicting the slain civil rights leader alongside Barack Obama.
THE FAMILY OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. Unf***ckingbelievable. What are their true intentions here? For equality and an end to racism? HELLLLL NO. Can you blame ‘em? They’re superficial, fake, and just as greedy as the next guy when it comes down to even the slightest possibility of raking in some cold hard cash. It’s disheartening to see the very people who up until now we thought wanted to put an end to racism really don’t care about it at all—not when there’s a buck to be made. That entire family has publicly tarnished the legacy of an American icon of peace and harmony. In fact Martin Luther King Jr’s family wages incessant legal warfare on those they feel are trying to profit from his legacy. Instead of celebrating his life and legacy and spreading the word of his teachings, they’re exhausted at running around town suing everyone they can for more money. MmmMmm Gotta love that green cold cash! Hell they’re even suing themselves.
On another note, many of you who read my other blog knew how much I hate Rev. Jesse Jackson.. He’s a vindictive racist of the worst kind. The only one keeping racism alive in this country is him and he’s made a living at it, a self-fulfilling prophecy. So I found this and I gotta be honest I believe in reincarnation, BUT COME ON!!!
