I Dream Of A Day When We Will Judge People By The Color Of Their Skin And Not The Content Of Their Charactet”

[Jackie S]

Since today is MLK Day, I thought I would include how Woke America now views his legacy.

[WTF]

You mean the woke folks violently attack the Capitol when elections do not turn out as they'd hoped?

You’re just way too influenced by the main stream media WTF. Your answer to EVERY criticism of the Democratic Party is “what about Trump and January 6.” Two years is already a long time, but I bet you’ll still be bringing that up a decade from now.

it's all he has, Tiny. he managed a "double down" in the FTX thread by somehow mentioning both Trump and Reagan in a thread about neither.


in on topic news ..


Boston's MLK Sculpture Is a NSFW Disgrace to a Great American

of course the NY Times thinks this monstrosity is a "tribute" ..


In Boston, ‘The Embrace’ Honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Legacy

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/15/a...on-common.html


look at this monstrosity...











it's "supposed" to be King and his wife embracing.


if they say so!


bahahahahaaaaaaa

[farmstud60]

Even most that would like to honor MLK think this is horrible.

[Tigbitties38]

You guys have been doing this since 2016. Republicans have shown time and time again that a man's character is the least important aspect of what makes him up.

Trump is a total piece of shit. Of course you never would have elected him if he hadn't been white. His character is just like many of his supporter's. Totally lacking in honor, intelligence, and honesty.

Trump has spewed over 30,000 lies and his supporters have only called him out on a hand full them.

Trump isn't fit to lick Dr. King's ass.

Instead you only include your own view.

Here is another famous quote that theLiberal/ Progressive/Socialist/Democrats have turned upside down and inside out.

“Ask Not What You Can Do For Your Country, But WhatYour Country Can Give To You”.

[Tigbitties38]

In the only on topic news link you posted, the author liked the sculpture.

In your townhall link, which everyone knows has nothing to do with the truth and isn't news, it shows the pabulum that drips from the mouths of right wingers.

Once again your point is pointless.

[Tigbitties38]

Funny. Only you seem to misquote people's quotes for your own purposes.

And they could have all been said by trump.

But they're said by you. They represent your views and your character.

Because how are you an expert on any views but your own? And you have shown, over and over, you're not an expert on anything.

Here is what you should be posting on MLK day.




MLK Quotes


1. "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."

11. "Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle."


12. "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend."


13. “There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.”

18. “The time is always right to do what is right.”


19. “Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.”


20. "We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now because I've been to the mountaintop... I've looked over and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land."


21. “For when people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.”

30. “We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”

32. “We are not makers of history. We are made by history.”


33. “Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.”


34. “We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.”


35. “Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred."


36. "Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."


37. "Hate is just as injurious to the hater as it is to the hated. Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Many of our inner conflicts are rooted in hate. This is why psychiatrists say, “Love or perish.” Hate is too great a burden to bear."


38. "Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love."


39. "In some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty."


40. "We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will. And we shall continue to love you."


41. "If one loves an individual merely on account of his friendliness, he loves him for the sake of the benefits to be gained from the friendship, rather than for the friend’s own sake. Consequently, the best way to assure oneself that love is disinterested is to have love for the enemy-neighbor from whom you can expect no good in return, but only hostility and persecution."


42. "That’s love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There’s something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies."


43. "You know, a lot of people don’t love themselves. And they go through life with deep and haunting emotional conflicts. So the length of life means that you must love yourself. And you know what loving yourself also means? It means that you’ve got to accept yourself."


44. “All we say to America is, ‘Be true to what you said on paper.’ If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn't committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of the press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.”


45. "You can kill the dreamer, but you can't kill the dream."


46. "I want to be the white man's brother, not his brother-in-law."


47. "Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream."


48. "A right delayed is a right denied."


49. "Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."


50. "The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict."


51. "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."


52. "The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important."


53. "A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus."


54. "The moral arc of the universe bends at the elbow of justice."


55. "I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good."

The “Woke Generation” needs to study these and learn.

No, I think he means the woke folks who brought us as a nation, to where we are now in just 24 months.

The woke folks who have subverted most niches of the Federal bureaucracy to them woke agenda.

The woke folks who closed down the nation for an emergency that now looks to have been wildly exaggerated so "they" could gain total control of every aspect of society.

The woke folks who brought near civil war to every state in the name of a violent, misogynist criminal.

The woke folks who have tried to pervert the natural evolutionary dichotomy between male and female in our society at every level.

None of that was ever dreamt of by the Reverend Doctor Martin Luthor King Junior.
