Obviously not only was James Earl Ray a racist person that believed the freedom of blacks a dangerous thing. He decided the only way to deal with the problem was to assassinate the source: Dr. Martin Luther King. However his death only served to fuel the fires, since people across the nation saw him as a martyr.
