This really illustrates just how far the current administration has fallen from MLK's dream. It's ALL about the color of your skin now, and practically never about content of character. How sad...

Can we cut the BS for a moment of reality?
"Since 2000, the number of hate groups has increased by 67 percent. This surge has been fueled by anger and fear over the nation’s ailing economy, an influx of non-white immigrants, and the diminishing white majority, as symbolized by the election of the nation’s first African-American president.
These factors also are feeding a powerful resurgence of the antigovernment “Patriot” movement, which in the 1990s led to a string of domestic terrorist plots, including the Oklahoma City bombing. The number of Patriot groups, including armed militias, has grown 813 percent since of the Obama was elected – from 149 in 2008 to 1,360 in 2012.
This growth in extremism has been aided by mainstream media figures and politicians who have used their platforms to legitimize false propaganda about immigrants and other minorities and spread the kind of paranoid conspiracy theories on which militia groups thrive. "

Denial of racism is not working.
The others are all acting out over government:

I am discussing MLK and racism but if you have an interest in rape and murder, look up serial killers and rapists. Hope that helps.

Remember a week or so ago, when you said you'd be back after the Klan meeting was over? Well, I don't think it is yet.....

What Minotaur is saying is that the Southern Christian Leadership which Dr. King noted Republican stood for is his same values...

Every year on this day I post his words as they are breathtaking. Funny part I have always opted just to post the "I Have a Dream" digested version but it is remarkable to listen to the entire speech.
I think he'd be proud on this day that we have evolved as a country. I also think he'd still be forcing us to look into the looking glass as some issues still remain though less sinister in form. Today with a black President one would think racism is just written history but we see in the rise of hate groups and in the way non-minority are trying to use the word racism that the steaming underbelly of the conversation requires more patience today.

It is a good speech; even if that was all he'd ever done, it would still be enough to remember him for IMO....

MLK: Don't look at color of skin.
Today's Black Leaders: Look at color of skin.
Nuff said.

Not much Frey but then again, every day is like a vacation since we moved to Florida. Hope all is well for you as well.

That I agree with. He spoke of race and equality just as many do today but today it is harder to discuss race without the ears hearing it as skin color. Then it was more overt and easier to address. We still have a ways to go though we have made great strides imo. Today it is a more complex reality which imo makes it much harder to look at honestly. Or maybe it makes it easier to look at it dishonestly.
He was a great man.
nice dodge......all the serial killers/rapist have not murdered/raped close to numbers of blacks have........
I have something in common with MLK, we do/did love to have sex with as many as possible!!
Sadly, marvin, it's the truth......... content of character seems to have fallen to the wayside.
Pres Obama's speech up next.

Obama would need to climb on his granddaddy's shoulders just to get high enough to kiss MLK's ass...
Electing a black President should have been a day of MLK's crowning glory. And it was. But it turned out that our first black President is not a uniter of the races but has driven a wedge between them by the things he has chosen to speak out about [the policeman doing his job was 'acting stupidly'] and the things he has chosen, in contrast, to ignore [ black thugs beating up an old war veteran]. I think MLK would be disappointed in how something that could have been healing and growth for our nation has divided us in horrible ways.

How many blacks blew up Oklahoma ? How many blacks shot school kids...many times?
How many white men rape one in four women?
