He had good intentions and a good message for the most part.  I think his primary drive was to get rich and famous though, which isn't bad.

Quoted:





"We ought to come in mule carts, in old trucks, any kind of transportation people can get their hands on. People ought to come to Washington, sit down if necessary in the middle of the street and say, 'We are here; we are poor; we don't have any money; you have made us this way...and we've come to stay until you do something about it.'" What was the context of this quote?

It's more because he was a communist cocksucker that wanted to march on Washington with an "army of the poor" and demand economic equality.

 




I hope that he was demanding economic opportunity, not equality.
It's not like it's a secret or made up hillbilly racist propaganda.

Context goes a long way here.  We aren't talking about today, this was during the civil rights movement.  Blacks were pretty economically limited at the time.  There really were only a few ways they could chase the American dream of getting wealthy.  Stable good jobs were out there for them, but there were not enough of them.
