Why spend money on an MLK monument? Yes I agree with his teachings. Yes I hate RACISM of all kinds! But it seems many blacks, especially BLM and ANTIFA do not believe in MLK’s philosophy of non-violence and working within the law. So why a monument?????? MLK would have NEVER advocated for the death and destruction we have seen over the last two years. He would have never advocated for the destruction of historical statues or monuments regardless who they were. He would have advocated for us all to remember history and not repeat it!Name a singe prominent black democrat in any legislature that is a true believer in MLK………………..You can’t! Today the all seem to be radical Marxists that support fully the death and destruction mentioned above.
This is my official input that was asked for.
