Martin Luther King paved the road to end discrimination, segregation and equality for all mankind as it is stated in the declaration of independence. He was not afraid to speak his mind, he was not afraid to take a beating for his beliefs, he was not afraid to be arrested for his beliefs and he certainly was not afraid to die for his beliefs. Would you, "proud white American", say you will take a beating for your equal rights, to be arrested, and to be tortured and killed, if it set America free from terrorism? I think not.

Yes, he was a great man.
The following is from Wikipedia.
"Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American political activist, the most famous leader of the American civil rights movement, and a Baptist minister. Considered a peacemaker throughout the world for his promotion of nonviolence and equality treatment for different races, he received the Nobel Peace Prize before he was assassinated in 1968. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Jimmy Carter in 1977, the Congressional Gold Medal in 2004, and in 1986, Martin Luther King Day was established in his honor. King's most influential and well-known speech is "I Have A Dream.""

As a Minister, Preacher or Man of the good Lord he not only changed the circumstances in the United States, but also brought conscious awareness of the racial issue to Europe.

Okay I took American History twice in college and I should be able to answer this. He helped change America because he talked about social problems so that everyone can be treated with dignity and respect. I think.

Yes, I do. He led the way to social change. He got people stirred up and working toward equal rights for all. Even though he wasn't able to be here for all the changes that we've seen so far, he did get others working toward that change.

I don't think that he, himself, changed America.
I do think that the movement that he spearheaded made people think about the climate in the United States and how they themselves viewed others. I think that what he began made a difference in the country in how that people saw not only themselves and others, but gave people courage to do what they knew in their hearts was the right thing to do, but it was not the "popular" thing to do.

Not him but the Jews that created his image and controlled him have used his legacy (one they created ) in ways that have been very destructive for the White race. Look at the cities that have been destroyed by racial pollution. Look at all those areas people celebrate where living areas and schools were opened up by force at the end of a rifle - to negroids. They are all now hell hole slum scum high crime non-White areas. Remeber there is usually not a universal good. What is good for the lion is not good for the lamb. If the lion layed down with the lamb like in destructive anti-nature christ insanity fairy tales it would spell doom for the lion and even eventually the lamb. What is good for me is not usually good for my enemies. It is good for me when I win at chess but bad for the person I am playing. The human species like all species of plants and animals is divided into competing sub-species. We call them races. Life is not about christ insanity destructive ideas about loving everone and helping all. It is all about reproducing only our own kind and advancing and expanding our territories to the limits of our capabilities in competition with other sub-species, species and even our own kind. The same is the case for ALL life. We must look out ONLY for ourselves (too include loved ones and our kind that is not an enemy). Only when we look out for ourselves and give the struggle 100% does life advance properly. The only way to have total peace on earth is to kill off all life on the planet. Conflict is an important part of life. That which is good is of benifit to you and that which is evil is of harm. The christ insanity bible defines good and evil the opposite of the dictionary. That which is bad for you like loving and helping those that seek to harm you (enemies) is considered good while doing what is actually good like destroying your enemies is considered evil. MLK has caused harm to our kind thus he is bad from our perspective and should be looked down on as EVIL!! as our nations darken so does our future!
If you want a brighter world and future it takes a Whiter world and future.

Yes, and it was long overdue. He was able to voice people's frustration at a small minority being able to cling to a segregated status quo. Lucky for us that he was so clear about what needed, and perhaps still needs doing.

Of course he did. He helped raise the American consciousness and awareness to the fact that racism is wrong and evil. People who never questioned their bigotry suddenly questioned it.
