Of course he wasn't. Do you know anything about him? -_-

He never said, "White people are bad."
He simply wanted equal rights for African-Americans.

Re: Happy Martin Luther King Day!
He was a man with a dream. His dream? That people of ALL races could look past the color of skin and see people for who they really where. He protested peacefully, but with staunch opposition. They were met with police brutality, but they marched on. So, we salute you, Dr. King, and the love and peace you stood for in life as well as in death.

I know, I'm not stupid. 
Anyways, who knows what he actually thought?

I hate when people say 'racist in the opposite sense'
There is no such thing as reverse discrimination, only discrimination
People discriminating against those who are white is not 'reversed'. Discrimination is discrimination no matter who is doing it.
...Sorry, I'm not mad at you, just at that phrase which is disturbingly in common use

In a speech he'd made earlier that day/day before, I forget, he had said he might not make it to see freedom, but he knew everyone would be free someday. HE KNEW SOMEONE WAS GONNA KILL HIM SOON.

Re: Happy Martin Luther King Day!
I love "Hero" by Skillet.
It was inspired by Martin Luther King.

Re: Happy Martin Luther King Day!
MLK was great. I wonder what he would think if he were alive to see Obama as president
