i hope he does him justice
If Spielberg decided to do a biopic of my life, I’d be first in line to watch my own boring self. Anyhoo, I expect it to be nothing less than awesome.
Martin Luther was a Negro man who spent jail time and cheated on his wife and as an African American women i feel that he does not deserve a national holiday
Mandela spent time in jail to. Lol Hmm
Martin Luther King committed alot of skull duggery that has not made the press including his appetite for multi partners and sexual orgies. Apparently the pics have been kept behind closed doors for over 35 years and are too explicit to release. Just another black face used to pacify black people.
Verbs, distorted history? Lol.
Not distorted at all, the facts.
Ok ok ok. Lol.
as if y’all are crushing the picture I had of martin luther king jr!
Not at all. He played his part in black american history.
Why is cb and rhi the headers of his blog? Lol
Lol @prez, the most annoying twosome at the moment in hollyweird. Though one is more annoying. Lol
I chose that picture because it was taken just hours before the infamous “beating”.
This pic represents ‘happier times’ and when Chris still had a career.
Why beating in quotes? Lol. But it should be in quotes. There’s only one fake happy person there jan.
