It's Lady Gaga. That enough should answer your question.

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

(In some dialects of English the h is silent so an 'istoric would be right for some Brits but all Americans pronounce the h in historic like hat, therefore a historic is correct)


And never mind that "a historic" sounds exactly like "ahistoric" which means the opposite.

Just do me a favor will you? Stop pretending the language you speak is English :D
