With Monday (January 15) serving as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, people from across the country are celebrating by giving back and paying homage to the noted civil rights leader.
Dr. King, who was assassinated on April 4, 1968 while in Memphis, Tennessee, dedicated his life to the civil rights movement and the progression of people of color.
From Diddy to Barack Obama, a number of public figures used social media to applaud Dr. King for his service and the progress he made in his lifetime.
Check out some of the homages below.
MLK a real 1
MLK was assassinated not because he fought “nonviolently” for black an brown people to be treated as human beings in society but because he was against militarism an war profiteering. Now here we are 17 years into the war on Afghanistan an at least 150 bases in other countries… The struggle continues y’all
tbh blacks had it still pretty good during segregation that was all it was, segregation and the alienation from mostly racist white people which came along with it in the south. malcolm x wanted to move all of black people back to africa with the u.s. governments help but he and martin luther king were not friends. they both ended up losing their lives by the gun for fighting for what they believed in. martin luther king is a martyr, malcolm x is a matyr. why is it that the least racist people in this world are latinos and asians.
You must be an ignorant trump supporting hick to believe African Americans had it good during segregated America. Are you saying that it was good for CRAKKKERS to hurt African Americans by burning and lynching them and get away with it because the law were also involved and it made it impossible for CRAKKKERS to pay the consequences for their actions. Unbelievable
MLK was a GOAT. Malcolm X on the other hand was a terrorist.
Nah. Revolutionists with different approaches.
Much respect to Dr. Martin Luther King!!! Prayers continue to go out to his family. I pray that we all no matter what color get it together and live in peace. Work together and bridge the gap as humans. No race is better than the others because we will all one day have to have to answer to the man upstairs.
Hopefully we do not celebrate today and back to killing one another tomorrow. Don’t let the evil win. We must defeat the hate and evil by bringing out the goodness in all of us.
MLK is more relevant now than ever. We have Black celebrities screaming about BLM when they were arrested for Illegal Full Auto weapons and silencers to use against other blacks. These same celebs later get hired by the SJW (as long as it’s black J)/PC mayors to earn a public paycheck. Our beloved “Christian” reverend Martin had at least one illegitimate child, partakes in Orgies and had over 12 different mistresses at the time of his death. He had a dream. One filled with hypocrisy. A wet dream. Much like the hypocritical bullshit black America is going thru. Worship those foreign cars, thousand dollar jeans and 50,000 watches. Be shocked when the hoes you bang have diseases and only want money. Glorify killing anyone that fucks with you. Especially someone of your own kind. It was in 1863 that slavery was abolished in the US (all of the slaves were captured by other Africans and brokered by the Portuguese or the British BTW). 50 years since blacks earned “equal” rights. Let’s be HUGE hipocritamente and say cops and whitey is killing us, when in fact we murder eachother almost a hundred fold. Like our revereand preaching morality on his way to his eyes wide shut orgy. No one is shocked to know that several of those hoes were white, right? Stop filling the prison system and killing eachother. Following hypocritical idiots would also be a great start. Malcom X wanted all blacks to go back to Africa. There you would REALLY figure out how much a life matters… Good day.
You do it for the likes. Poor little thing. You need a hug.
Every nigg@ with a voice ends up dead.. That’s how we now Obama was useless cos if that nigg@ was actually making difference then the Jevv’s would’ve had him assassinated too!
MLK,
I have your dream and I shall walk with it each and every day until God call me home! We love you Mr. King.
Even though we as the people still struggle with inequality, unfairness and injustice daily we move forward because of you. You have been an inspiration for just not black Americans but “all” people. They too celebrate your life on your day because of you and your dream. I am honored to carry on your dream Mr. King with style, non-violent movements, dignity and with grace. Once again we thank you and honor your life Mr. King. We shall overcome!
…and sh*ts on his legacy the next 364 Days till next MLK Day. Luv u Hip Hop
