Martin Luther King is dead because he never woke up from his dream to fight. He believed in brotherhood, not in leadership. Saying he believed in leadership is like saying he was an instigator that believed in making wars for no reason when he was really about peace. Being about peace tends to get somebody killed.
People say Martin Luther King was about this and that every Martin Luther King Day now that he's not here to speak for himself, they try to speak for him, be his voice, and walk all over his casket in the process. At least the parades were a distraction from that.
The comedian Chris Rock famously advised, 'If a friend calls you on the telephone and says they're lost on Martin Luther King Boulevard and they want to know what they should do, the best response is ‘Run!’
A road in almost every big city (sometimes refered to as Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway) that strangly always has bad crime and is notorious for homeless people and crack heads. If you ever get lost in Atlanta, no matter where you are, you will definitely end up on MLKJ Drive. One must be very careful while traveling any Martin Luther King Jr. Drive or Pkwy.
