"They Killed Him"

There was a man named Mahatma Ghandi
He would not bow down, he would not fight
He knew the deal was down and dirty
And nothing wrong could make it right away

But he knew his duty, and the price he had to pay
Just another holy man who tried to make a stand
MY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM!

Another man from Atlanta, Georgia
By the name of Martin Luther King
He shook the land like rolling thunder
And made the bells of freedom ring today

With a dream of beauty that they could not burn away
Just another holy man who dared to be a friend
MY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM!

The only son of God Almighty
The holy one called Jesus Christ
Healed the lame and fed the hungry
And for his love they took his life away

On the road to glory where the story never ends
Just the holy son of man we'll never understand
MY GOD, THEY KILLED HIM!

Sing about Mahatma Ghandi
Sing of Martin Luther King
Sing Of Jesus Christ Almighty
And the brothers Kennedy

গানের কথা:

মহাত্মা গান্ধী নামে এক ব্যক্তি ছিলেন
সে মাথা নত করবে না, যুদ্ধ করবে না
তিনি জানতেন চুক্তিটি খারাপ এবং নোংরা ছিল
এবং কিছু ভুল অবিলম্বে এটি করতে পারে
কিন্তু সে তার কর্তব্য জানত, এবং তার মূল্য তাকে দিতে হবে
শুধু আরেকজন পবিত্র মানুষ যিনি দাঁড়ানোর চেষ্টা করেছিলেন
হে ঈশ্বর, ওরা তাকে মেরেছে!

জর্জিয়ার আটলান্টা থেকে আরেকজন
মার্টিন লুথার কিং নামে
বজ্রপাতের মতো সে ভূমি কাঁপিয়ে দিল
আর আজ স্বাধীনতার ঘণ্টা বাজিয়েছে

সৌন্দর্যের স্বপ্ন নিয়ে যে তারা জ্বলে উঠতে পারেনি
শুধু অন্য একজন পবিত্র মানুষ যিনি বন্ধু হতে সাহস করেছিলেন
হে ঈশ্বর, ওরা তাকে মেরেছে!

সর্বশক্তিমান ঈশ্বরের একমাত্র পুত্র
যীশু খ্রীষ্ট নামে পবিত্র এক
খোঁড়াদের সুস্থ করে ক্ষুধার্তদের খাওয়ালেন
এবং তার ভালবাসার জন্য তারা তার জীবন কেড়ে নেয়
গৌরবের পথে যেখানে গল্পের শেষ নেই
শুধু মানুষের পবিত্র পুত্র আমরা কখনই বুঝব না
হে ঈশ্বর, ওরা তাকে মেরেছে!

মহাত্মা গান্ধী সম্পর্কে গান গাও
মার্টিন লুথার কিং এর গান
সর্বশক্তিমান যীশু খ্রীষ্টের গান গাও
আর কেনেডি ভাই

@juandelgado8253

But Mandela was no Saint nor even Gandhi nor Martin Luther King. He was for decades a man of violence. In 1961, he broke with African National Congress colleagues who preached non-violence, creating a terrorist wing.
Mandela even suggested cutting off the noses of blacks deemed collaborators. His then wife Winnie advocated "necklacing" instead - a burning tyre around the neck.
Mandela argued the apartheid regime left him no option but to fight violence with violence, but it is too easy to claim events proved him right. His legacy is not yet played out.
Current president Jacob Zuma until recently still publicly sang the anti-apartheid song, Shoot the Boer, in a still-divided country where many white farmers have been shot.
Mandela's support for other leaders of violence is even less forgivable. He maintained close ties to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and backed Palestinian terrorist leader Yasser Arafat. As president in 1997, he gave his country's highest award for a foreigner to Libya's dictator, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, who'd donated $10 million to the ANC. He gave the same award to the corrupt Indonesian president Suharto, who he said had donated $60 million.
He supported Nigerian coup leader Sani Abacha, refusing to say a word publicly to stop the 1995 hanging of activist Ken Saro-Wiwa.
I repeat, Mandela did great things. But many of his more radical supporters in the West now use that greatness to wash clean his record of political violence - and his support for dictators who'd used it.
That is dangerous.

Same crap as Biden.
