TKC NOTE: Here's another politically incorrect and alternative take on MLK Day from our pal and Kansas City media impresario Craig Glazer. Check it:
Martin Luther King:
He Was Only Human
When I was a young man Martin Luther King was in the news almost as much as President John F. Kennedy. Since his death, there has been everything from songs, books, movies, television specials and even a National Holiday in honor of this man. Whether it’s fair or not, King is the human symbol of civil rights.
His murder, the media likes to call it an assassination; they do that when you are famous but it was a murder, is still a mystery. Like the two Kennedy brothers, many Americans feel that King’s assassination was a conspiracy. From what I have seen and read, the King murder may be the most likely conspiracy of the three. I was somewhat stunned when years ago HBO ran a special trial, a documentary-like affair that actually had James Earl Ray participate in the trial of King’s murder. It was an amazing program.
The defense of Ray was outstanding. They proved beyond any doubt that Ray had no motive to murder King. The defense proved he was neither a racist nor a hit man. They also proved it was pretty much impossible for him to have been at the location of the assassination. Martin Luther King’s family attended the mock trial set up by HBO. Ray was interviewed in his own defense. The prosecution got hammered and clearly beaten. The jury was not out but a few hours before they returned a verdict of not guilty. Unfortunately, for some strange reason, HBO never aired the special ever again, which adds to the theories of conspiracy in some people’s minds.
I feel that beyond any reasonable doubt that James Earl Ray had nothing to do with the shooting of Martin Luther King. Was it our government? We’ll never know just like we’ll never know for sure what happened to John or Bobby Kennedy. The bottom line is this, the American public questions many government actions but we are so accepting of what we are told to be true, it really doesn’t matter. Only the media can make a big deal out of anything anymore and they choose not to. That is, unless it’s a reality show, a celebrity in trouble, anything that’s a guaranteed distraction from the larger issues. Who’s going to win the Super Bowl is much more important to most Americans than who shot Kennedy or King.
Maybe what’s most important about Martin Luther King was this: he was both a great statesman and a flawed human being. The FBI reports made it abundantly clear that he cheated on his wife; that is to say he was a womanizer, and a heavy drinker to say the least. This description fits a significant percentage of American males. However, even though he was in many ways a regular guy, he found a cause that was extremely important at the time and still is and became its champion.
We all have the potential for goodness, nay, greatness inside us, like King, even though we are all as flawed as he. Even though our beliefs and causes may be different than his, it’s important that we try and work on shaping our community, our neighborhood, our country or our world to be the best it can be, like he did. Even though we all make mistakes, sometimes huge ones, in life it doesn’t mean there isn’t greatness in everybody. I think we all have that ability inside us, if we choose to exercise our beliefs.

Do you think MLK would condone the knock out game? We've come a long way baby. Or as Byron would say, just kids having fun.
ReplyDeleteNice article, Craig.
ReplyDeleteThe extent of the 'knock out game' is greatly exaggerated. Its been blown out of proportion by the conservatives to fuel racial hatred. What was that white man's name again? You know the one that was convicted of this crime. Yes, dummies, a WHITE MAN.
MLK Jr. was a man with a vision and the people of today are very far off from matching his qualities.
ReplyDeleteHowever, we do have the youth of America to think about.
The question: What are they " The Youths" doing to help themselves have a better and brighter future.
The great man.

Be sure to grab a towel and clean up after this circle jerk.
ReplyDeleteGlazier is a waste of bandwidth. His only claim to fame is that he lives in KC and has Tony's attention.
Irrelevant. Even the comments in this thread are irrelevant.
Tony I am so god damn tired of seeing Byron Funkhouser’s shit on these posts all the time. He is ruining your site. He is not from around here and adds nothing to this local blog. His insight is hateful as a rule and does not reflect the views of people or events of Kansas City. He has gotten to the point he only posts to incite and anger people for his own benefit.
ReplyDeleteKeep drinking the kool aid Byron. Yes, all the racial divide is Bush's fault (sarcasm)
ReplyDeleteWho is this Myron Luther King? I like the cut of his jib.
ReplyDeleteYou are a liar Byron. A sick twisted cartoon of an individual with an ethnomasochistic wish of self destruction by a violenct black hand. I hope you get your wish. Be "In the wrong place at the wrong time" and you will.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wnd.com/2013/11/surprise-media-finally-wake-up-to-knockout-game/
I think Byron would like a "Beat Whitey Night" every day of the week in every city in the world.
ReplyDeleteWhites make up 8% of world population, he will soon get his way. In South Africa, in Europe and all over the world, the MSM, politicians and the demographic will bring Enoch Powell's nightmare to reality. Byron should get the wife, kids and his whole family together for a family execution.
I had a dream too. That all niggers just up and died! What a wonderful world it was too.....no murder, no robberies, no horseshit from niggers....Just great.
ReplyDeleteI Had A Dream, and then the Nigga's came along.
ReplyDeleteIs that fucking bear dead yet?
ReplyDeletePootie Tang say, white guy with a bad rug, "lazr Gla, should not be talk about black. Brown, ok as lazr Gla's brown stain drawer he know well. No, lazr Gla man, get a decent rug u fucktard, JJ Walker sucking old fool...Pootie out.
ReplyDeleteCircle Jerk????? I'm there!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFrom "I Have a Dream" to "I Have a Drone". Martin would not be pleased.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE A DREAM THAT GLAZER WILL READ MORE HISTORY BEFORE POSTING COMMENTS ON RECENT HISTORICAL EVENTS....I HAVE A DREAM!!!
ReplyDeleteDr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s family and attorney friend William F. Pepper, won a civil trial in 1999 that found U.S. government agencies GUILTY in the wrongful death of MLK, Jr.
U.S. corporate media did not cover the 3 1/2 week trial, interview the King family, and textbooks omit the information.
The government convicted James Earl Ray of the murder, and despite his claims of a false confession, all appeals have been denied.
P.S. Glazer, if you still think Oswald killed JFK, and Sirhan killed RFK, PLEASE do some research before your next posting.
The KCFD will become more diverse only when the local black leadership demands it through the political process and through grass roots activism.
ReplyDeleteBuuulllll Sheeeeeeetttt!
ReplyDeleteMan they hate on Bryan more than Glazer. Must be a holiday.
ReplyDeletefigure it this way if Hearne, Tony, Alonzo, Glazer and everyone put forth the effort they do on their media campaigns they'd probably be productive individuals in society
ReplyDeleteplus this freaking KCC vandeta against TKC has all the ear marks of a jealous girlfriend mad that her friendship bracelet wasn't returned from her x boyfriend
ReplyDeleteNiggers I tell you, it's niggers. If it wasn't for niggers do you understand how much smaller our police forces could be? If it wasn't for niggers do you understand how much cheaper our taxes would be, how much less crime, how much less slum looking neighborhoods, could go to the zoo and theaters without the thugs disrupting the event, the malls would be quite relaxing places to shop, so you see how much better we would be without niggers.
ReplyDeleteWell said, nigga, now go away!
DeleteHappy Birthday to General Robert E. Lee. A real man who's birthday should be celebrated, not this drunken, plagiarizing, prostitute beating, adulterer.
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck is Craig Glazer, a know homosexual, doing writing about MLK? A fucking mazing. A toupee wearing faggot trying to be a black historian. LMFAO. GLazer has been reading too many of Alonzo's Plaza nigger attack warnings. Fuck off Glazer along with you cocksucker buddy Byron Funksniffer.
ReplyDeleteI Have A Dream
ReplyDeleteI have a dream that Glazer packs his bags leaves Kansas City and we never hear from him again.
Why do you let this Glazer crap ruin your blog?
ReplyDeleteMLK was a great leader in all respects but one - he did not provide for a GOOD successor. His dream was hijacked by self-interested and corrupt men who led the dream into a nightmare of broken families and dependency. Their drive was power. Dr. King’s drive was freedom. With freedom comes responsibility. With power comes corruption. Until we shed ourselves of the Sharptons, Jacksons and Cleavers we will be slaves again to the power needs of our self-appointed masters.
ReplyDeleteIt's time that the truth about MLK be brought out. How many illigitimate bastard children does that fucker have in existence today?
ReplyDeleteGlazer just loves FLAWED people. Why? Because it makes his fucked up life seem more normal.
ReplyDeleteWELL DONE Glazer. Good read. The haters are stupid as always.
ReplyDeleteWhere do these nuts come from Glazer.?.!
ReplyDeleteCraig Glazer must be a black man. Pootie Tang. Pootie Tang. Is that you Pootie ? No it's Craig Glazer and Byron Farthouser. What's up my faggots ? Yall come on in.
ReplyDeleteAnon 8:27
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be a contest, to see who can posted the dumbest shit. Sorry, Pootie Tang, you didn't win. Calling people you disagree with faggots is so old school, not very hip. Are you enjoying your new gig, playing 'end man' to the racists?
Tony I am so god damn tired of seeing Byron Funkhouser’s shit on these posts all the time. He is ruining your site. He is not from around here and adds nothing to this local blog.

ReplyDeletePlus it is Byron who is running the good people off.
Byron = Persona Non Grata
ReplyDeleteGive us some names, you lame pussy.
ReplyDeleteThere is no evidence that anyone is being run off. Nor are racists like you 'good people'.
ReplyDeleteYou sling that around like it means something. You are a sick man that has serious mental issues, get some help.
ReplyDeleteRight back at you, little pussy. If you keeping telling me that I'm sick until you give yourself a stroke, I can't help you. It seems to really be important to you.

Self-loathing hillbilly.
ReplyDelete129 my ass!
Tony what is so disturbing on this sites is the hate game. Here is a clean story on MLK and all or most comments are on the hate between this guy Byran and others or attacks on Glazer that have nothing to do with what he wrote. I read this site once a week and Glazer gets more attention than most, but boy all these mean, hateful, rude and meaningless comments from the whacko group destroy sites like this one. So unfair to the real readers. Guess it makes cooler talk.
ReplyDeleteCindy point well taken. Byron, whoever he is, writes here cause Glazer gets so many readers. He just wants to be heard, that's all.
ReplyDeleteGlazer does not get all the comments Cindy so who ever you two fake posters are at 7:48 and 7:50 you have to think all of us readers are total idiots to not understand the same person made both of these posts trying to promote Glazer. Now go back to KCC and Hearnies dead people attack stories along with more of Craig's BS. I swear Glazer your fan club is fucking dumber than you.
ReplyDeleteJust what I am talking about person who called me fake and a liar. You are the people who destroy whats good about this country. I am real work at a well known hotel on the Plaza and know a little bit about entertainment. You don't.
ReplyDeleteWhat as a maid?
ReplyDeleteYou have to be Glazer fan because you have to make it known you work at a well know hotel? Part of the I am better than you bullshit Glazer is so well know for throwing around. Plus if you really read this you would have known the story had nothing to do with entertainment. Gee wish I knew what well known hotel that was so I could get your lame ass fired or prove what a fake you are. Because you see I really am someone who knows more than you want to find out about. Even if you name isn't Cindy give me the name of where you work and see what happens
ReplyDeleteDude these posts stink too high heaven of Glazers trolls
ReplyDeleteWhy do you wish to do "Cindy" harm 9:20? What did she do to you that is so bad that you want to destroy her life? She disrespected you? Disagreed with you? Big fuckin' deal. The world is not here to give you a continuous hand job. Stop being a self centered ass. Control yourself and your reactions; otherwise you are no better then poor people who kill over "respect".
ReplyDelete10:09 I think you're missing the point. 9:20 as myself has probably been reading here and KCC for sometime now and are wise to the Glazer bullshit. So you see when we call bullshit back you as in a Glazer troll hops on and thinks we are really attacking someone. It's a person who thinks that Glazer needs help and if they sound important it makes it sound all the much better, well it don't. She/He as with most of Glazers claims when you call them out on them they shut up. Old saying no matter how much paint or glitter you apply to a pile of dog shit it's still a pile of dog shit.
ReplyDeleteHey nigga where you been?
ReplyDeleteWhen are we going to storm the comedy dump? We need to get some free tickets then get them scanned and print off maybe 800 or so and get everyone to storm a show. That teach them white Jews a lesson or two.
They be so fucked up they won't know whose stuff was real and not real. Then when they kick us out we make it a racist thing then sue them and lordy look at the TV coverage we would get. Headline in KC Star say Nigga'a With Free Tickets Denied Entrance To The Show.
ReplyDeleteWhere de white wemen at?????
ReplyDeleteCraig, read "Hellhound on His Trail: The Stalking of Martin Luther King Jr. and the International Hunt for his Assassin" by Hampton Sides (Doubleday, 2010).
ReplyDeleteMy boss wouldn't listen to any of your low life insults A-hole. I really don't know Craig Glazer. I hear him on the radio often and have been to Stanfords a few times at Legends, had fun, nice place. He seems decent and is funny on radio. Why do you hate him and everyone else. Where is it that he or I said we are better than you? After reading your low brow hate comments who isn't better than you?
