Reply to comment by Kowalski_Analysis in TIL Martin Luther King was born Michael King Jr. However, his father, a pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, traveled to Germany and became inspired by the Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther. As a result, King Sr. changed his own name as well as that of his five year old son. by 54_actual

In those times, Jewish people were viewed as Christ killers and, by decree, were denounced and persecuted for their faith. As a people, we are more enlightened or at least we should be.

Being enlightened is a pretense for about 40% of people. Half of those will speak their mind in the company of people who look like them.
