“Dr. Martin Luther King on Malcolm X”

I know it's a bit late for Martin Luther King day, but this is a great social commentary that starts off with the question "what if Martin Luther King could see us now?"

Why wouldn't I be suprised if all of this would have actually happened if MLK was still alive today (from start to finish)...

OPRAH FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Not a topic many people want to talk about but its absolutely true that MLK's message has been lost since his death, which I guess was the point in murdering him. We prop him up as a saint but really give no thought to what he was saying. Just because you name a street after him or even if you're black it doesnt mean you understand let alone follow the great things he stood for. I think this clip though for comedy purposes isnt far from what really would happen. It seems his memory is used just to push other peoples agenda. (Ex: college campus I heard a Pro Affirmative action speech using MLK's memory when in fact based on his own logic he would not be in favor of Affirmative action, but to bring that to their attention you must be a racist)
