hereticarmy: tryggda 1995 to be exact
FREAKNIZZLE100: tryggda please. how do you know walter cronkite gave a shit about mlk you have a chat with him about how he was tired and sad personally, i think all he cared about was 1. doing the news and 2. collecting his paycheck and 3. making himself different from other anchors by saying the vietnam war was lost.	tryggda: sevensixtwomilimeter "negro" was simply the word of the day no disrespect was intended. in fact, it was considered respectful considering what some people said the n word, or colored, or worse.obviously, it was the first and leading story of the day so it was very important news to the nation. these programs are not anlytical, they simply report the facts. i think king is actually given respect. you have to remember the times. people played vinyl discs then, too. that's all they had.
tryggda: albertajcw001 thanks to king and so many other brave souls you entered a world much freer than had existed before. bless you and carry the message. never forget.	tryggda: freaknizzle100 you are completely insane. pathetic.
tryggda: hereticarmy you don't know walter cronkite, who was shocked and saddened by this horrible event. if he seemed calm, he was being professional and many hours had passed sicne the shooting the night before. that is quite a while this was not instantly breaking news. many hours had already passed. he is tired and sad, but cronkite is not going to be a fool on the air. clearly he is not a happy man. your superficial reaction is really quite amazing. were you born after 1980	hereticarmy: the reporter didnt seem to sad, lol
FREAKNIZZLE100: u can tell cronkite was glad the nigger got shot	xenekaro: cyberbe1 yeh but the problem is to what extent for example, i can't go and call your mom a whore. that will be considered a serious offense. so the problem is the limits. where do you make the limits and boundaries
nozgrd74: omgsovietpanda you mean the derogatory term is nigger...it wasn't negro. just nigger.	nozgrd74: exiledhere wow no, malcome x encouraged violence whereas dr. king did not in any way, shape, or form.
AlbertaJCW001: i was born on april 5th.	sevensixtwomilimeter: juggunaut66 omgsovietpanda yeah i know it wasn't meant to be racist, i just find it a bit odd that after all his work he was still classified as a 'negro leader' and not the powerful civil rights leader that he was.
thatmansjerd: who gives a shit. good	thatmansjerd: he needed to die
eastariel: the one nation peace party of america on loves the best and leaves the rest. from the republican party, on adopts pro life. from the democratic party, on adopts pro life. on rejects all that death, slavery, murder, and starvation nonsense that springs from warfare. it's time to bury those rotten traditions and choose love instead. love thrives in freedom. america must become free.	ExiledHere: seminoleboy96 i think you have malcolm wrong... i believe malcolm believed in peace too... but he also believed in self defense. every prominent political leader must represent somebody. malcolm represented the black urbanite working class who were fed up they had a discernable lack of patience... which explains why malcolm x's approach was so different from mlk. the black urbanite had no faith in the system and wanted to break free of it... at that point it was a reasonable position.
omgsovietpanda: sevensixtwomilimeter they wernt called african amarican it was negro. the racial term is " nigger nigga "	juggunaut66: sevensixtwomilimeter that is not a racist quote that is what black people were called
sevensixtwomilimeter: 1:04 "the 39 year old negro leader" wat	akopianarsen: veeseee128 because it didnt affect him
Uniqueindividual91: did he say that martin king was a "nigger" wow i didn't know he sung rap music	Airman32292: a true martyr
MultiJoeyo: i read a book called "killing the dream " by gerald posner and it is the most fantastic book about the facts and debunks the conspiracy theorys , it seems we are reliving the 60 s again and need all the mlk s we can get ,when you see guys like jackson,sharpton,farrakan you realize what a great man this was.	seminoleboy96: jaydog7575 ha ,malcolm was a horrible violent radical black who didnt believe in peace but war to kill whites and force them in a all black america
