Martin Luther King – “I Have A Dream Speech” …. The Truth Behind It
It has been almost 5 decades since a legion of civil-rights and human-rights leaders led over a quarter-of-a-million followers on the “March On Washington For Jobs and Freedom” on August 28th 1963.
A century after President Abraham Lincoln signed the ‘Emancipation Proclamation’, allegedly abolishing the slavery of Amerikkkanized-Afrikans, many were still begging their oppressors for what they were already born with – the right to be a free and self-determining people.
Black Nationalist advocate, Malcolm X – driven by the ‘do-for-self’ doctrine prescribed by Marcus Garvey and Elijah Muhammad – disagreed with the assimilation attempts and quickly coined the peaceful protest as ‘the farce on Washington’.
“Racial unrest never occurs among the satisfied, bourgeois-class of Negroes. They can easily be appeased and controlled and influenced just by continuing to drop crumbs on their table – the crumbs of tokenism. Racial explosions always erupt among the oppressed, dissatisfied Black masses,” revealed Malcolm X.
The event continued on as previously planned, with a host of celebrated speakers addressing those in attendance. During the public demonstration participants demanded equal employment and voting opportunities for, as well as a stoppage against, police terrorism.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivering his ‘Normalcy Never Again’ dissertation, where he demanded that the United Snakes Of Amerikkka make good on its promise of ‘40 Acres and A Mule’ to its kidnapped human-cargo and formerly physically enslaved captives.
King’s ghostwriters – Clarence Benjamin Jones and Staley Levison – assisted in penning the piece. Jones later commented,
“The logistical preparations for the march were so burdensome that the speech was not a priority for us. On the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 27, Martin still didn’t know what he was going to say.”
During his lecture, which was later dubbed by the powers-that-be, the… “I Have A Dream Speech’, the reverend stated his case for why the U.S, owes reparations to the descendants of the very same people who involuntarily labored for centuries, for free, while the United Snakes quickly grew into the super-power that it eventually became.
“100 years later, the Negro still is not free. 100 years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. 100 years later, the Negro lives on the lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. 100 years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society, and finds himself in exile in his own land… so we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.”
“In a sense, we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration Of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, Black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the “unalienable Rights of ‘Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.’
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked, ‘insufficient funds’.”
Upon further observation, one notices that the entire ‘Normalcy Never Again’ seminar almost exclusively addresses what Amerikkkanized-Afrikans are owed by the U.S. for contributing over 500 years of blood, sweat and tears. Only one paragraph in the entire speech mentions anything about a dream.
So instead of looking to bring the U.S. up on charges in the world court, many are left to dream about an unrealistic color-blind society in the ‘land of the free and home of the brave’, which also happens to be the breeding grounds for the mass massacre of hundreds of millions of indigenous people.
Read and listen to Dr. King’s speech carefully and decide for yourself. Don’t allow the mainstream media and public fool [school] systems to control your thinking.
