A researcher working on a book
about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
has unearthed
a previously-undiscovered first version
of his "I Have A Dream" speech
which he presented
nearly a year
before he famously delivered it
in Washington D.C.
in 1963.
While a fascinating find
there's still the lingering question
of what he would've
said today
which is tragically unanswerable
for certain
that is unless
just maybe
Black Republican
2016 Presidential Candidate
Dr. Ben Carson
and the closest to a scientist
or former scientist
in the field
has the answer
which is that
"We have the purveyors of hatred
who take every single incident
between people of two races
and try to make
a race war out of it."
Well okay then
there you have it.
It's not like anybody's
bringing up issues
in order to help solve them
and interestingly
under this logic
the GOP can claim
the moral high ground
on this issue
when they neglect
to address it at all.
