#MLK #Washington #MarchOnWashington

I was there and it was wonderful to see where Martin Luther King stood for us.
We really need to make it an event every year.
Where's your Master Race leader,,Grandmastershitforbrains (jay) ??? How will he lead you Afro Unamericans to Texas to commit genocide on us whites if he's not there??
After the Afro Unamerican disrespectful, UNGRATEFUL, SELF GRATIFYING Knee Takers 💩ed on White House steps,,they STORMED THE GIFT SHOP STOLD EVERYTHING. BROUGHT HERE ILLEGALLY, RETURN THEM TO AFRICA,
Why are blacks always seeing themselves as being pushed down by anyone who isnt black..,,thats so not 100% true…does it happen,yes,,all the time for everything, NO….
MLKs Message of the "Horrors of Police Brutality" against not only blacks but Jews Mexicans & poor whites WAS purposely Misdirected & LOST when White Women, POLICE UNIONS, DOJ & complicit uncle toms WHITE WASHED HIS SPEECH LIKE a mf. Conflating the the crimes of women like Sarah Page & Carolyn Bryant with racism when its ALWAYS white girl 1692 Salem tears that get #GilesCorey & 25 other MEN killed by Predatory pigs& courts, 100% of the time. #MSNBC perpetuates Racism by ppl of all skintones & creeds w/ their Identity politics 24/7
👎
Just a bunch of sellouts following the script
Lets be real, Martin Luther King Jr. is rolling around in his grave.
MLK wanted reparations look it up
Don’t be fooled by the democrats! They have done nothing for you! Wake up black America!
Hope you know what to do during election. Elections have consequences.
This was a large turnout. Many DC residents and others around the country didn't care about this march. Rather boring if you asked me.
MLK would so tell you racist POS's what to do with it! You violate every principle he stood for. At least drug sales are up in D.C. this weekend…right?
As a woman living in Texas, whom is not a whole human being, I say: the march is not over. Until every human being living within these borders is considered a whole human being, the work is not done.✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🫶🏻🫶🏻💋🇺🇸🌸
Worth celebrating and a goal still requiring attention .
there’s lots of mixed ethnicities/nationalities nowadays but humanity needs to spice things up on being a single earth nation.
for that elderly woman who’s 83 lot of things have changed but humanity needs to work on civilization.
Ayo Kamathi is laughing at the Chutzpah being played out on you Slaves ……Divide and rule = Israel's trojan horse ….
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Never before in the entire history of humanity, have so many educated people lived so freely and so abundantly. And for just 17+ years, we have been connected to a shared, worldwide experience with near-instant communication. It is GUARANTEED to Wake THIS Generation Up. Epochal Eclipse April 8th 2024. Matthew 16: 4
Nothing will change
So we don't have equal rights?
That's right. We're not done. Let's get to work 🇺🇲. Our examples make us who, and what we are. Let's never stop setting them, or being them. What's higher than Number 1 baby ☝️.
What inspires me the most about MLK was that he was a true Christian who followed Jesus and chose not to fight back, but to forgive unconditionally. This is rare to see these days. He would be disappointed how people are.
martin luther king, arrested by the federal government 24 times
Blacks again falling back into poverty after historic low under
TRUMP !! WAKE UP AMERICA !!
"nothing is more painful to me at this stage in my life than to be walking at night and hear footsteps than to turn around and see someone white and feel relieved" Jesse Jackson
Fulton county Persecuted this man for standing up to the establishment That kept poor people down.
Now Fulton County is prosecuting one that one again tried to take a stand for poor people.
Just today hours later mass shooting by right wing sympathizer
…..and Democrats have reversed course on this legendary man's words and values.
100% reversal.
MLK last speech denounces Democrats for not ever helping blacks.
Pretty sure if was alive he won’t be proud or happy what he’ll see. Nothing change but the date on the calendar!
In so much of an undertone, that nothing you’ve ever been told or believe, it’s not how it really is. Everything will be determined upon you. Even your personality’s.
Maybe in the next 60yrs.
Stop being domestic terrorists and burning cities down.
I just wonder what Mr. King would think about the frequent drive by shootings, or all the big department stores being looted and robbed, or how often black people in our big cities murder one another with no regards or respect for life, or what mothers heart they break! I just wonder how embarrassed and heart broken he would be!
I wonder how he would feel about all the fatherless kids in his communities! I imagine he wouldn’t be to eager to represent the people doing all this! He definitely had a dream and 70 plus years later his dream is being destroyed by his own people! It’s sad but very true! There’s been big progress from the Democrats, the party that founded the KKK and defended racism for 200+ years, but they still have a long way’s to go! Maybe one day they will figure it out! Martin had a dream and what’s going on in this country right now ain’t the dream he had in mind! Until black people start respecting black people, his dream will only remain a dream! The word racism is easy to throw at people you don’t agree with or you don’t like but, people in this country see this marching on Washington and then tomorrow these same people that watch the event see the news about 60 shootings in one night in Chicago or Baltimore or Detroit and how many were killed, and it just takes the air out of the big balloon, I have a Dream message! And it completely destroys the Dream Mr. King had! He would be completely astonished and disgusted at, what is going on in this country right now! Especially the use of racism for political gain! That’s not who he was!
These generations are getting worse but not because of the people it’s the left extremest
Dr Kings message is just as relevant today, maybe even more!
😂😂😂😂😂 he had a dream, its a nightmare today. 😂😂😂😂
Not one person is talking about ending the godawful war in ukraine in this march, mlk would be ashamed at how america has become since he died 55 years ago.
How about let's honor & praise the Lord Jesus Christ & not praise man more then the creator, one way to eternal life is through Jesus not man..
Just ask them what they want……….they don't even know
It is completely forgot by his people😂
I don't believe deindustrialization and global financial oligarchy who control our society was the change he was referring to
Remember that fam our nation let's make it great again for our times not we destroyed everything everyone fought an died for witch is freedom imagine that coming from a mixed hawaiian a product of the dream like u an I
