BIGGER FISH TO FRY: let it go bec. we have greater issues on the table.
This is what happens when you sell off your intellectual property in the name of money to a firm. They get to use it anyway they see fit to make a profit. If the king family would have had their act together and kept this all important speech we would not be having this conversation. But know any and everything is for sale in the name of the mighty dollar.smdh, the king family being exploited for profit and not one dollar from Chrysler will go to causes championed by Dr. King.if there’s anyone we channel our anger at it is the king family.
The same way they feel about the flag and what it represent to you,is the same way Black people feel about Dr.Martin Luther King. He gave his life for Our Freedom just like a soldier on the battlefield. This was very insensitive and disrespectful.Shameful.
