yup, because they are doing some shit in my country. They complained about the christmas tree in federal building, and a judge ordered to get it out. Another thing, they were not happy with the windows of a gym in montreal because men could see woman in shorts and t-shirt so they bought the gym and put tinted windows. I could go like this for an hour. I'm not racist though, my aunt's boyfriend is a jew and i talked with him about that and he agreed with me that it was some bullshit.
btw, do you have any proof of what you are saying? i mean, i never heard about some dudes writing that famous speech? what's your source?

I will not paste until I have found a really good link but it was a guy called Stanley Levison he is credited with "helping" to write the speeches. However this was even satirised on family guy I don't know if you recall the episode but it was the one in which Peter enlists a jewish lawyer and starts having all of these wonderful thoughts of what a jewish guy can achieve. in one sketch Martin Luther is on stage and stanley is standing behind the curtains feeding him the lines lol... it's an hilarious episode but of course that does not provide empirical evidence. will post up as soon as I find a comprehensive article or articles. The reason why at various times martin luther has been called a communist by the way is because of levison's affiliation to the communist party although it seems he did leave the party behind.

Shouldn't be suprised becuz he gets help writing a speech. Who doesn't get help? Plus it wasn't like he was gettin' A's in his speech classes.

My response is this, it has been suggested in no uncertain terms that Stanley wrote the I have a dream speech, the speech that is the most well known of all the public addresses that martin luther king made. If that is true then to me suddenly martin luther king becomes merely a puppet and the words themselves become devalued. Perhaps they were meant with sincerity perhaps not,....it would create a layer of doubt. Anyways this is kind of a side issue because no one can deny the effect that these words had.
QuietTruth:
I'm sure Martin Luther King Jr. had a big part in writing it. No?
