Don't get me wrong, I would be JUST as hacked off if they tried to put him up there with the Crazy Horse monument. My point was (and is now that I have cooled down some) that they keep trying to shove this guy places he doesn't belong. Of all the "black history" leaders there have ever been I don't know why he is immortalized. What about Philip A Randolph who said "Freedom is never given, it is won." Why isn't HE more talked about. What about Booker T. Washington? What about Joseph Rainey the first black US Congressman? Why don't we see them putting these men up in stone instead of MLK whose biggest contribution was a single speech?
Anyway I am just sick of this BS. There were alot of great Native American leaders who where VERY insightful, there were alot of white leaders who were very insightful, there were alot of blac leaders who where insightful, but instead of remembering these people they want to remember MLK and Malcom X.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
