Today, we celebrate the greatness of one man and his quest to bring equality to the races in
America. Martin Luther King Jr. was a great man who inspired many to
take peaceful action to accomplish so much. His legacy reaches far and
wide and continues today. However, a disturbing trend has arisen which,
seemingly, undermines his legacy. Few leaders seek the transformation
that Martin Luther Kind Jr. sought. Instead, leaders of today, seek to
keep our nation divided so that they may profit from this division.
While capitalism is the driver of our country, capitalism derived from the legacy of a great man who's leadership brought us into a better time, should not be used in this way. People such as Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and others abuse the message of Martin Luther King Jr. to profit from his teachings. They do not teach of love and understanding in the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. Instead, they seemingly seek to incite hatred through race baiting and other tactics.
