Basically a ''post prison syndrome'' story


He wasn't the least bit concerned with black injustice until he went to prison. He had a great life and was having fun until the jail sentence. After that it was ''blah, blah, blah white devil this, white devil that''. It's hilarious how going to jail gives people like him a new personality. He only saw injustice when things no longer went his way and the fun stopped.

He was completely different than Martin Luther king. King was genuine.

Didn’t King plagiarize his doctoral thesis? I guess nobody is a saint.

Aside from his dad getting killed by whites, having a white teacher tell him he couldn't be a lawyer (that something more menial was more fitting for his race and assumed intelligence level), getting caught and receiving a really harsh sentence because he was caught with a white woman.

Yeah, his life was beautiful before prison....
