the time of his assassination came when he was calling for a coalition of all the poor Black and white, and urging that they create a union. He was arousing a sleeping giant when he was cut down. (sh.itjust.works)

Movements come and movements go

Leaders speak, movements cease when their heads are flown

'Cause all these punks got bullets in their heads

Departments of police (what?), the judges (what?), the feds (the feds)

Networks at work, keepin' people calm

You know they went after King when he spoke out on Vietnam

He turned the power to the have-nots

And then came the shot

If they don't have you hating the other, you start looking up at the greed and power hungry people keeping us all down. Religion isn't the answer as there is also hate for the other ingrained in it. Humanistic social policies that put humanity before profit is the only way we can make it 100 more years.

The funny thing about the gospel of Jesus if you actually read it is it specifically calls out class warfare and condemns the rich and powerful.

The likely facts are if you have a person that has read and comprehended the Bible they are probably an atheist. The people that cherry pick their verses or just follow their leader and what they say the Bible says are the majority of Christians and Catholics. Same goes for all religion

Religion won't lead us to peace and capitalism can't do it either but they are running the show now.

I think everyone should read the gospels, themselves with no commentary. They're not very long, and the takeaway is very different when you don't have someone going "Jesus was saying you should pay your taxes here, definitely not proposing dropping out of the Roman economy as a means of resistance"

He was arousing a sleeping giant, SO he was cut down.

As long as you choose to capitalize one race and not the other you’re part of the problem.
