What does Martin Luther King Jr. say about America?

Not the iconic figure of the civil rights movement. We all know what he died for nearly 43 years ago.

We're intimately familiar with the dynamic sermons, speeches and nonviolent protests that pricked a nation's conscience and shaped King's enduring legacy.

At issue today is a different query, one that might prompt a living King to roll his eyes, if not take to the streets.

Cause those blaque people still waiting around for you to come and fix the area up.  All those dudes standing around on the corners?   Just waiting for someone to come by and give them some paint cans and brushes so they can spruce up their liquor stores and hair weave parlors.

Having lived in NYC, particularly the Bronx, the whole scam of this MLK nonsense without examining where we are today like in these videos is why most people just roll their eyes now.

I'm sick of the slogans, the empty pap, the marches, the memorial servces, the tv commercials, the constant blame, all the garbage.
