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.

HAHAHA To those saying he had good intentions, what does that even mean? Everyone from Hitler to Pol Pot set out with good intentions. Folks, not many people set out with bad intentions in mind. It still doesn't change the facts of what they actually did.

A Pre-mandela.  When someone is killed at a young age during a political movement, then they are idolized as demi-gods.  

If he was alive now, he would not be nearly as idolized.  The fact that he gets one holiday and all the presidents, combined, get one affirms that even the holiday is affirmative action.

He was a crook and a Commie. That job called for a better man.


  I'll say I agree with the idea of all people being equal in this country. But we are not. Minorities are more equal currently.

There are FBI surveillance tapes, you can prob Google them. Pretty well known that he was a commie, liked his drugs, and loved his hookers. His dream is FBHO's dream, a communist US. FMLK!
I have read many things about MLK.

Not sure if they are true or not but nevertheless:

He loved prostitutes, white ones and used church money to buy then.

He was a communist and associated with known commies.

He plagiarizied his Doctoral thesis.

He was a woman beater.


 



Could you inform me with where you came up with this information?



MLK Jr. plagiarized parts of his thesis:

http://www.nytimes.com/1991/10/11/us/boston-u-panel-finds-plagiarism-by-dr-king.html

The White prostitutes using church funds comment is bullshit. There is a reason why some people are emphasizing that the prostitutes were supposedly White. Ralpha Abernathy, an friend of MLK Jr., wrote that MLK Jr. had extramarital affairs but he wasn't attracted to White women. Ralph didn't mention anything about prostitutes.

http://www.snopes.com/history/american/mlking.asp

Woman beater? No evidence.

I don't have any real problem with King, but yeah... how about this quote from him:

You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then.

And the reason he was killed, was because he was stealing the limelight from Elijah Mohammed, and had become openly critical of him, and of the Nation of Islam. His death was nothing more than a straight-up political assassination.

He was no different than Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton,Barack Obama,Jeremiah Wright and all the other race baiting community organizers....

He got killed and so they lied...set up a straw hero and began to hype and promote the fiction and hide the truth.....

To put him in the same league as George Washington,Abraham LIncoln,or name a million other greater Americans is a slap in the face
to what made this country a great nation...imo

Had he been a white man they'd have locked him up and thrown away the key....also imo

Had Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson been shot and killed by James Earl Ray we'd be celebration JJ Day or Al Sharpton day

If either of them had the same handlers and promoters that is....

He was handpicked just like Barack Hussein Obama was handpicked by his handlers and promoters....imo

Not just openly critical, but had split off and formed a new organization, which had the potential to be a dominant force in black politics.

And it was a turn away from the NOI's interpretation of islam, and a turn towards a closer reading of the koran that lead him toward more tolerant and accepting positions. (which would probably melt a lot of minds around here)

So they are always very high crime rate areas because they are poor areas or because they are typically predominately black areas? I have no theory I just find it odd that all MLK drives and Blvd's are very crime ridden.

We have a lot of very poor areas here in rural KY also however they are not high crime rate areas so I'm just curious on the differences, causes, or correlation between these areas and crime. You sound like you might be able to tell me so please go on.

You can interpret the koran however you want, buddy. I'm just stating how Malcolm interpreted it, you know, the historical facts. But if you prefer the jihadi interpretation, who am I to tell you you're wrong.

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.

Yeah, it definitely seemed that one of the big things he came away from Mecca with was a belief that what the NOI was pushing wasn't Islam.

Frankly, I never had a problem with the pre-Hajj, "Hate Whitey", Malcolm X. I couldn't care less whether someone hates me or not, just as long as the government isn't picking my pockets to feed his kids.

It's not like it's a secret or made up hillbilly racist propaganda.

"We ought to come in mule carts, in old trucks, any kind of transportation people can get their hands on. People ought to come to Washington, sit down if necessary in the middle of the street and say, 'We are here; we are poor; we don't have any money; you have made us this way...and we've come to stay until you do something about it.'"

"We must create full employment or we must create incomes," King wrote. "People must be made consumers by one method or the other." "We realize that dislocations in the market operation of our economy and the prevalence of discrimination thrust people into idleness and bind them in constant or frequent unemployment against their will."

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.

I like him for his non-violent, civil disobedience protest message, that was shaped after Ghandi's model.  

I also think he was a powerful orator and had a good mastery of words and language.   It's all about effective communication.

I think MLF is better off dead because there is a very good chance today he would be a race hustler,and He would be a socialist,HE would be lock stock with the democratic party today if he was around today.Then every one would be calling him every name in the book.
