Only thing I've got to say is that whoever put Tupac's beat on there is a fucking idiot. You've got an idealistic reverend who preached nothing but peace and love his entire life juxtaposed over the music of a faker who one moment would talk about rising above poverty and the next minute would do anything from rape somebody to shoot at someone to sell drugs or talk about murdering his best friend. To even insinuate that Tupac and Dr. King had anything other than their race in common is laughable.
What speech was this?

It was white people who put King on the pedestal like that, blacks loved him, but I think we get more riled up by people such as Malcolm X and the Panthers. King didn't have a plan, he just wanted equality with white people and take it from there, but there will never be full equality so revolutionary warfare and a shift of power is the only solution.

But on the real, you can't do that as a minority. Blacks are still only 15% of the country, it will be impossible to ask for what Malcolm and 'Pac represented. MLK is the best you can hope for in that his asking.
here goes some Boondox mix with Mumia Abdul Jamal all about Martin Luther King. Was MLK the most dangerous black leader in history to the American way?http://www.youtube.com/v/5G_mmloT5_c
