From Jimmy Carter's Concession Speech, 1980.
Also, of extreme importance - Carter's Secretary of State was Andrew Young.
The briefing given to the snipers of the 111th Airbourne stationed on the roof of the Firehouse on Mulberry Street at 4pm on April 4th 1968 was "Friendlies will not be wearing ties."
But they didn't take the shot.
The shot came from the bushes and from the Lorraine Motel parking lot.
The Mafia contract hit team took the shot and hit the mark first, and they did not receive such a briefing.
Martin King was on the balcony, wearing a tie.
Billy Kyles was on the balcony, not wearing a tie and "stood away... so as he could get a better shot".
Jesse Jackson was standing downstairs in the parking lot, wearing a roll neck sweater.
And standing beside him for at least some of the time, was Martin King's best friend in the whole wide world:
Andy Young. Wearing a tie.
And as for the Rainbow Coalition... ?
N-Word, please... - what the fuck was that, were you TRYING to lose and embarrass your party's nominee...?
Don't even answer that.
