3 min readMar 25, 2023
Well, what the hell ARE you thinking?
Thoughts about race/racism add up.
The average person has about 70,000 thoughts each day.
Some have more.
Some have less.
What were people thinking to make them hate MLK??
When he was assassinated in 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr was one of the most hated men in America … hated by citizens and his own government.
During MLK’s THIRTEEN years in the civil rights movement, the average American individual had 332,150,000 thoughts. (70k thoughts per day X 4745 days in 13 years).
How does THREE HUNDRED MILLION thoughts still result in someone hating a peace preacher?
Four years prior to his murder, 31% of Americans DID NOT APPROVE of the civil rights act of 1964.
Ten percent were undecided.
