But that dont clench the issue of him being the set up man. This question has been brought up before, many years ago, and without a class analysis it has no use to history.

My point is that all of them -- King Sr., Andy Young, John Lewis, Coretha, MLK 3rd, Ralph Abernathy and Jesse -- all benefited immensely more from his death than from his life because they were all committed to the rise of the black petty bourgeoisie on the backs of working and poor Africans. I can tell you how each of them benefited.

Jesse built Operation PUSH off of two legacies: The police State assassination of Black Panther Party Deputy Chairman Fred Hampton (Sr.) who founded the original Rainbow Coalition, and the Poor Peoples March led by Martin Luther King Jr. Chairman Fred's Rainbow Coalition was built to fight racism with solidarity rather than fighting it with racism, because he said you dont fight fire with fire but you fight it with water.

Ralph Abernathy was the original "country preacher" but Jesse stole that, too. Ralph continued wallowing in the legacy of King for his own personal benefit as well. Coretha pimped King's "Dream" until it became meaningless, except to her pocketbook. King Sr weaseled himself up into the Atlanta mayor's advisory commission, betraying black workers at every turn. Most of these motherfuckers would not have had any history whatsoever were it not for King. John Lewis was the non-violent extremist of SNCC who was so abject with the idea that SNCC turned to the more relevant Julian Bond. But Lewis found a home in the Dream Team.

Andy Young straddled the fence enuf to weasel a position in the Carter Administration. He did a good job exposing the US hypocrisy on Palestine, by meeting with Yasir Arafat, the only ballsy thing any of King's former entourage ever attempted. For this, Young was booted. But for that he had a sleazy, spineless record. He was not a race traitor, yet still a traitor to millions of working class Africans from Here to Eternity.

Saying Jesse was the set up man for King's assassination only says he betrayed one individual, because if it is true he advanced the class interests of at least half of the black petty bourgeoisie. King's death expedited the movement of middle class aspirants like Donna Brazile and Colin Powell and Barack Obama who have no loyalty to or love for our community. The betrayal of our community by these forces has a much greater impact than King's death, except as how the two phenomenon are linked.
