The American Empire has used the life and legacy of Martin
Luther King Jr, like the Roman Empire used the life of the one they called
"Jesus Christ," who they crucified unjustifiably while celebrating
him years later while forming a government-sanctioned religion around his
teachings and principles after his death.
We can't deny it. We all have deified King like Christ after
his death. Oddly, with the approval of the same government that murdered him,
by hanging his picture on the walls of our homes alongside John F. Kennedy, and
false images of white Jesus.
Have we forgotten the FBI second in command called him the
"most dangerous and effective Negro leader in America during that time in
history?
But, now, we celebrate his birthday with parades, bouncy
houses, and Bar-Q dinners, while reciting his "I Have a Dream speech to a
multi-cultural audience, while trying not to offend anyone by presenting a Walt
Dynasty version of him to the general public, similarly to the way the Church
paints Christ today.
Hell, this is easily accomplished now because everybody
claims they marched with him, stood with him, went to jail with him, while
quoting his words, memorizing his speeches, and debating his philosophical
ideas like scriptures in the New Testament.
Yet, we still FEAR to tell the truth about him.
See, King "increasing butted heads with the soft, safe
image manufactured for him. (Because, the more he protested poverty, denounced
the Vietnam War, and lamented the unconscious racism of most whites, the more
he lost favor and footing in white America." (Dyson, April 4, 1968,)
But, these MLK celebrations, which we engage in today, truthfully, don't "solve the stubborn structural issues like chronic unemployment, racial profiling, educational equity, radical poverty, gross over imprisonment, and the enduring reluctance to hire Black men. It takes more than enlightenment to solve these problems; goodwill alone can't heal these bleeding sores on the body politics." (Dyson, April 4, 1968)
But, America, domesticated Dr.King- by giving him a holiday,
and building a statue in his image for us to worship, while forcing us to have
selective amnesia.
For, white Americans must (come to gripples) about how
elements of its OWN government, especially the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover, who
"FEARED THE RISE OF A BLACK MESSIAH" tried to destroy King's career,
marriage, and ultimately, his life.
(Yes)Hoover and the United States government used
Soviet-Russian type illegal tactics in order to tarnish King's leadership by
claiming he was a Communist while snooping into his sex life by doctoring tapes
of him "allegedly having sex with other women", and playing them to
his wife, hoping to humiliate him.
Let's go a little deeper.
I am thinking like Steve Cokley and Baba Dick Gregory now.
Because J.Edgar Hoover was also a member of the Ancient
Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine while wearing a Moorish Fez
with the words ALMAS, in Arabic meaning "nourishing Black Mother," the apple of my eye, or
the Black Diamond/ stone or soul on another level. But, there is still more to decipher
for the "learnt man and woman."
Therefore, he knew the "TRUE" IMPORTANCE of Dr.
King's presence as being a BLACK MESSIAH figure on an esoteric level and a
government level.
Remember, Dr.King's delivered his last "I Have Been To
The Mountaintop" speech in support of the striking sanitation workers at
the Masonic Temple in Memphis on April 3, 1968, before he was assassinated at
the age of 39. Malcolm X also was assassinated at the age of 39.
Anyone, who "overstands" the importance of the
number 40, scripturally, which appears over 146 times, should know- it
generally symbolizes a period of testing, trial, or completion.
According to Chaplin William Collins, during Moses' life, he
lived forty years in Egypt and forty years in the desert before God selected
him to lead his people out of slavery. Moses was also on Mount Sinai for 40
days and nights, on two separate occasions (Exodus 24:18, 34:1 - 28), receiving
God's laws. He also sent spies, for forty days, to investigate the land God
promised the Israelites as an inheritance (Numbers 13:25, 14:34).
The number forty can also represent a generation of man.
Because of their sins after leaving Egypt, God swore that the generation of
Israelites who left Egyptian bondage would not enter their inheritance in
Canaan (Deuteronomy 1).
The children of Israel were punished by wandering the
wilderness for 40 years before a new generation was allowed to possess the
promised land. Jesus, just days before his crucifixion, prophesied the total
destruction of Jerusalem (Matthew 24:1 - 2, Mark 13:1 - 2).
Forty years after his crucifixion in 30 A.D., the mighty
Roman Empire destroyed the city and burned its beloved temple to the ground.
And, it took 40 YEARS TO MAKE A
KING!!!(bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)
