I wonder what this country would be like today is Dr.King was not assassinated. He had moved on to worker's rights and fighting for the poor.

Hoover and others would have sought to mar his accomplishments and legacy with attacks on his personal life.

I think it would be interesting to hear how he would evaluate our current social condition.

Me you are right,even today people want to talk about Dr. King's personal life. People forget that we are all three dimensional(sp).

I wonder how he would feel about Obama.

If King was alive today, he would have been shot again because he was shot in the same year that he started moving away from race and towards economics in a way that was anti- capitalist. America, as we all know, doesn't fuck with its money, and add to the fact that he's black, he would be deemed "too radical" and "un American" just like he was 40 years ago. The way I see it, things in America have only changed on the surface. Most likely, no ones going to lynch me(although with the recent popularity of nooses I'm not sure anymore), and most likely, there's no white mob that will chase me around with weapons calling me 'nigger'(again, not sure), but for a lot of people, particularly those who are older and who were born/ alive during the 60s 70s etc, the racial attitudes are the same.
