I'll tell you what I don't believe, and the whites were quick to say this: Charlie Kirk was this generation's Martin Luther King, Chappelle said after discussing Jimmy Kimmel's temporary suspension by ABC over comments about Kirk following his September death. That's a reach. They both got murdered in a terrible fashion. They both got shot in the neck, but that's about where those similarities ended. Chappelle dismissed Kirk as a motherf**king internet personality and nothing like MLK.

On a hot summer day a little over six decades ago, a quarter of a million people gathered peacefully in Washington, D.C. to demand laws to advance civil rights, protect voting rights and stop employment discrimination. It was there, at the March on Washington, that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his celebrated "I Have A Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28, 1963.

We need to be crystal clear on the fact that Trump releasing the MLK assassination files is not about transparency or justice, it's a desperate attempt to distract people from the firestorm engulfing Trump over the Epstein files and the public unraveling of his credibility among the MAGA base.
