WOKE hit's a JFK historical radio broadcast is not surprising but it is a sad commentary on the state of affairs in today's America....an America that is polar opposite than the one which the civil Rights Activist of the 60s PEACEFULLY, LAWFULLY PROTESTED for America as a whole to be....but today, it is the antithesis of their DREAM...and those who spew comments such as yours without considering any context facilitate the growing nightmare of what was to be a wonderful dream for all people....
