Rodney King: Can we all get along?
I thought Rodney King asked Why, and some re-quoting shows it, but it isn't "Why can't we all just get along", per the news tape [start at 42 for intro or 53 for King directly] Rodney King's quotation is a pleading and a request for peace in a time of violence:

I just transposed Rodney's quote from the actual YouTube footage. Just for a laff I Googled the quote in inverted commas.... and this blog post was the ONLY result.
You and me, baby!!
FWIW....
** Getting only 1 Google search result is a form of "Googlewhack".
** Googlewhacks are quite rare so I always do a silent fist pump when I get one.
** If you Google the quote without quotation marks you get 134,000,000 results.
** Great to see you chose "you know" instead of "y'know".
** I was initially going to go with the latter but I'm glad I double checked. It definitely wasn't a "y'know".
** In my version of Rodney's quote I included his pauses and stopped at the word "umm".
** So *AHEM* I do believe mine is a slightly superior version. :)
"You know.. can we.. can we all.. get along? Can we.. can we get along? Umm.."
