I would respectfully suggest to Dr. West that he consider the following observations:
1. It was Dr. King's commitment to end the suffering of all poor brothers and sisters regardless of skin color and including those whose economic status had driven them to the killing fields of Southeast Asia that precipitated his public execution.
2. Until such time as we are fully aware of the circumstances of Dr. King's death we cannot hope to understand fully the greatness of his life.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
