And you know what?! Why ONE man? That's what I was interested in before I started writing, but it all changed...
Sad to say but trying to do some research online I came across a website trying to diminish everything he has done but revealing the so-called "truth" about him. Not being a total ignorant I read parts of whatever they were saying but I was kind shocked... I'm not saying they were relating the truth I didn't read it all but one way or another some facts don't change.
December 1st, 1955, Rosa Parks, an african-american woman, refused to stand to let a white person take her sit after the driver asked. She was arrested. A major boycott of buses was then organised which lasted for more than a year. They wanted black people to take the bus and sit wherever they damn well please. They won, and black people cause advanced greatly since that day. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for African-american rights and while I am Canadian, I am black and I know his name. But reading that White Pride World Wide forum, man it was even more shocking. But of course some people get it:

"All this goes beyond my imagination. I did know there were stupid people on earth, but this is too much. How can a being provided with intellectual faculties think and write such things? Martin Luther King is one of the most important persons of the 20th century. I did look at the sources of the content of martinlutherking.org, but who cares? I just look at the facts: no martin luther king = no freedom for black people. I suppose that for you xenophobic people freedom for african-americans is a problem, but for the rest of the world it's a great archievement. I think I'll stop here because i really can't see things from your point of view, it's impossible to me. Xenophoby and racism are so absurd. Im ashamed of being a man living in a world where racism still exists.
A convinced anti-racist from Switzerland"
HE gets it...Why can't those other idiots?
Ok, I'm not going to get into it, he goes overboard maybe? I wouldn't say it's racism but one thing's for sure, he was definitly right when he wrote: "Martin Luther King is one of the most important persons of the 20th century [...] I just look at the facts: no martin luther king = no freedom for black people."
So stop the madness, send a message of peace and love and...
Remember one man...
A man who once delivered a great speech called:
"I Have A Dream"
Did his dream come true? I think it did, please don't diminish his accomplishments.
