Sorry, guys. MLK wasn't about going to protest in a designated area and playing by the rules. His goal was to make people uncomfortable and cause chaos. He ADVOCATED breaking the law. It's almost like no one ever read the Letter from a Birmingham Jail where he said all of this:

He didn't want it to be violent but he wanted to be contentious. They wanted a confrontation. It was part of the plan. John Lewis still calls it "good trouble." You can't have civil disobedience without DISOBEDIENCE

James Forman is one of the civil rights leaders you don't hear about because he wasn't with that "getting-his-skull-cracked" shit. Plus he never wore a civil rights suit He wore overalls. Forman often disagreed with MLK because he figured: "You don't even go here!"

Why be nonviolent in the face of violence? Plus, he thought MLK was a figurehead who didn't understand what people on the ground knew: They were never gonna get their voting rights unless they fought back.

(Sorry, had to do some stuff...) But if you want to know why we are taught this whitewashed way of history, it is not just about making white people comfortable. It's about... You know what? There's probably someone who can explain int better than me. Like Robert F Williams

The irony of the King of Wakanda passing on August 28 is just... Today in 1833 the U.K. abolished slavery. Today in 1955 #EmmettTill was abducted. Today in 1963 #MLK had a dream. Today in 2005 Katrina came. Today in 2008 Barack Obama accepted the nomination.

Oh and by the way...it’s also #JackieRobinsonDay

Look at my guy shadow flack! I 👀 you dawg... #prevailing

DoneHat I submit the following prediction:

This is not just a narcissist. This is not just a man struggling with mental issues. This is not just an entertainer out of his depths. This is a dangerous man allowing himself to be used to hurt the rest of us. This is not a joke. Writing in Kanye just helps Trump. Pisses me off
