I would take him over Jackson or Sharpton any day of the week. From what i can tell he wanted equality, not payouts like the other 2 ass-hats.

He truly believed in equality. As in, people treating each other equally, because they feel like they are equal, not because some law says so. I think MLK was a great man. If he was around to see the "forced equality" bullshit we have today, the way his bretheren abuse the system and play the race card instead of owning up to reality, he would be ashamed. He wanted people of all races to be equal, not some more equal than others.

Good intentions, or troublemaker? He wasn't perfect and was human, but I think he did want to peacefully move us from the Jim Crow era. I highly suggest you read his pal Rev Ralph Abernathy's accounts of those days and the man....you might not like what you find however as it goes against the left wing revisioniists. Corrupt to the core.....with his own holiday and everything.......very likely with his particular leftist handlers he would have president had he lived and had the media of his day had the kind of sway over our country that it has today. |

MLK, good intentions = noble >> Liberals good intentions = disaster ETA, Intentions do not account for anything, it's results that matter. MLK got positive results with his actions. Liberals do not get positive results with their actions |

Better than Malcolm X (which some on here love for some fucking reason), and Huey P. Newton. Overall he was a good guy. He might have had faults, but If you lived under the constant threat of being lynched by the racial majority, you'd probably believe some derpy things too.

He was a communist and associated with known commies. He plagiarizied his Doctoral thesis. He was a woman beater. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Better than Malcolm X... Meh… I have far more respect for Malcolm X. He repeatedly stated that the only way the black community would improve itself was from within. He encouraged blacks to flat-out reject any and all offers of "help" from whites, whether it be individuals or the government. One of the foundations of his message was economic independence… something that was, sadly, ignored. |

So it's been 150 years since the civil war, and 50 years since the civil rights movement. Currently there seems to be an uncalled for suppress whitey movement going on. The race card seems to be used a lot.
I wonder if in today's world, MLK would adopt some of Bill Cosby's thinking on blacks helping the black man, or Jessie Jacksons. I want to believe that he would think that today all is pretty well, and that no further reparations or reverse equality laws need to be around. I guess we will never know. |
