"these aren't my figures, dr. paul said tuesday. that is the assumption you can gather from the report." when the "houston chronicle" started asking about those also, "given the inefficiencies of what d.c. laughingly calls the criminal justice system, i think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal." these were quotes from ron paul's newsletters. and when the "dallas morning news" asked him about them, running for congress that year, he did not disavow these statements. "in the interview, he did not deny he made the statement about the swiftness of black men. if you try to catch someone that has stolen a purse from you, there is no chance to catch them," dr. paul said." he also said "the comment about black men in the

lot of black ministers and what went on in the black c who were in cadillacs and shiny suits that i was with those who were quieter in their style. when dr. king stepped into my life, and i found i had to become engaged within reason of him, it was his vision of how he saw our task that attracted me deeply to the idea i thought his idea was the best i had heard. t t -- pauln sai rosen gave me the spine for my manhood, dr. king gave me my spirituality. between these two men, these fierce forces that nurtured me, i found i and then all i needed to have to endorse the meeting -- mission i had was correct and dr. king, when he and i met i said i am not of the church. i am from the church and i look at the church with great caution. whether it is catholicism, what they did with the great historical evil that they did, when you look at those who most morally justified slavery, you will find that the church was central to that fact. there are all these things that are in your way. txpntimen h iss expressed to him were very much his own. he felt very much the same way about a lot in the church and he felt those facts alone would give us a good r

dr. king had said about this? what would he say when america elected its first black president?ink this achievement was a confirmation of his dream? would he say that these things would not have happened if he had not lived? i have always felt he would be pleased whenever any element of racial progress occurs but he would not think that nirvana had come and would not try to claim credit for everything. this is what i think he would want us to say today, what he said at his last sermon -- he said," i would like somebody to mention that day that martin luther king jr. tried to give his life serving others. i would like for somebody to say that david martin luther king jr. tried to love somebody. i want you to say that day that i tried to be right on the war question. i want you to say that day that i tried to feed the hungry. i want you to be able to say that day that i did try in my life to close the those were naked and i wanted to say that day that i did try in my life to visit those who are in prison. i want you to say that i tried to love and serve humanity. yes, if you want

(audience reacts) and that was very threatening. and we went into complete mobilization on saying the first thing to do is get martin out of the chain gang because his life is in severe jeopardy. and it would be easy for the state to maintain some derange convict killed him and we petitioned to nixon and the kennedys. nixon ignoreds all together but the kennedys wrestd with it and when bobby took the lead and talked to the governor of georgia and got dr. king released the expecta
