If Martin Luther King were alive today and turned on BET, What do you think he would feel?

HE WOULD NOT BE PLEASED. THE STRUGGLES HE AND SO MANY OTHERS WENT THROUGH FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS TO BE FREE AND HAVE EQUALITY WITHIN EVERYDAY SOCIETY AND CONDEMNING THE RACIAL STEREOTYPES. IF HE SAW THE CONTENT OF PROGRAMMING THAT IS DISPLAYED TODAY, HE WOULD PROBABLY BE HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AND HE WOULD FEEL LIKE THE STRUGGLE WAS IN VAIN AND THERE IS MORE WORK TO DO. I ALSO FEEL THAT IF HE WAS ALIVE TODAY, ALOT OF WHAT WE SEE ON NETWORKS SUCH AS BET PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE SHOWN BECAUSE OF THE INFLUENCE HE HAD DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT AND THE STRUGGLE FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS TO USE TELEVISION AS A POSITIVE MEDIUM AND A VOICE FOR ALL.

Here is the widsom of Dr.King on Affimative Action\n\n"Whenever this issue compensatory treatment is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree, but should ask for nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but is not realistic. For it is obvious that if a man enters the starting line of a race three hundred years after another man, the second would have to perform some incredible feat in order to catch up." \n"A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for him, to equip him to compete on a just and equal basis." \n"... for 15 centuries the Negro was enslaved and robbed of any wages — potential accrued wealth which would have been the legacy of his descendants. All of America's wealth today could not adequately compensate its Negroes for his centuries of exploitation and humiliation. It is an economic fact that a program such as I propose would certainly cost far less than any computation of two centuries of unpaid wages plus accumulated interest. In any case, I do not intend that this program of economic aid should apply only to the Negro: it should benefit the disadvantaged of all races." \n\n\nHere what he said about America\n"Don't let anybody make you think God chose America as his divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with justice and it seems I can hear God saying to America "you are too arrogant, and if you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power, and I will place it in the hands of a nation that doesn't even know my name. Be still and know that I'm God."

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."\nMartin Luther King Jr, US civil rights leader (1929-1968)

No, I would drop to the floor on my knees and with everyone watching, I would kiss his feet, I would beg for forgiveness for being such a miserable excuse for a man. I would Thank him for dying so that I had the chance to live. I would probably cry, but if he said "Sit on my lap" you bet your buns, in a heartbeat.

Depends on what his reaction is!\n\nBut seriously I would appologize and probably get really red in the face and probably move to another place if i could.

Not enough information.  Maybe he made a bet with someone about how you would react.  Who knows?\n\nMaybe you could just ask him.

If the good Reverend/Doctor Martin Luther King were alive today, he'd kick their (you know what's) for doing as much to cause hatred and stir up racism as Adolf Hitler.

I would ram it in so hard I could tickle his tonsles.  \n\nHe is dead.  That would be gross.

I would be devastated at the loss. My life would never be the same. I would be very proud of him as I consider all those who join the forces as heroes. I would curse the day George W was born for getting us into an unnecessary war with no exit plan,

I hope it would'nt be too different.I would like to think that every slave would've came to their senses and beat the hell out of every white person who tried to control them.No matter what year we live in or whatever happened in history,there will always be racism.And that sucks...we're all red inside,color is only skin deep.
