re: #25 abolitionist

I believe that was actually quotes by MLK.


Virtually all ideas, persons or groups who
have succeeded in changing the world for the better, later to be hailed as
heros in the public mind, started out being condemned by those in the
Mainstream Media who latch on to the dominant world view of the time. Even
Martin Luther King Jr., a peaceful, loving, wonder of a man who contributed
more to our social progress than likely any humanitarian in the US history,
was followed by the CIA and publicly humiliated as a “Communist” which
he even had to defend in front of a Congressional Committee.

He then goes on to make a comment I agree with:

In fact, you
can rest assured that if King were alive in the current paradigm today and
seeking an equal form of justice - he would be given the name:
“Terrorist”.

But that doesn’t diminish his earlier attempt to justify his special brand of craziness by saying that MLK, like he, was condemned by the “mainstream media.”
