“For years now I have heard the word “Wait!” It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This “Wait” has almost always meant “Never.” We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that “justice too long delayed is justice denied.”” #MLK pic.twitter.com/SJi5RHZGtU

One of the most brilliant pieces ever written. How he sums up the plight of the Negro-unmatched.
#LetterFromBirminghamJail is the featured #MLK piece for the 2020 King Holiday, #MLK91.

Adam Schiff has stood up for the Constitution, democracy, and the American people. He is the polar opposite of the evil traitor Mitch McConnell.

Make no mistake, Mitch McConnell is a Hitler’s-Inner-Circle kinda guy. Evil beyond comprehension.

Also, keep track of these black churches that are letting Bloomberg, this man who ran a campaign of racial aggression and intimidation in NYC that violated black men’s bodies and constitutional rights, use their pulpits for his rehabilitation tour.

Happy MLK Day!
We’re going to Josh’s house for a fish fry today. My brother is going to fry up some fish for us. We’re having fried fish, shrimp, hush puppies, french fries, potato salad, green beans, cake, cookies, Dr Pepper, Coke, Sprite.
I got snow, and you’re going to a fish fry😒😒
Life ain’t fair 😋😋
Awl! I’m sorry about the snow. Well it was cold to me today. It was in the 50’s. 🥶🥶🥶

Ha. I’ll put it like this. If these boys were tall and lean with angular good looks and/or interesting individuals and/or exceptionally bright and/or good, righteous human beings they WOULD NOT be doing what they are doing.
They are losers.
