Today is Martin Luther King Day

[Beowulf]

Can I draw a picture too? I happen to believe MLK's actions held back blacks. We will never know though. *shrug*

Very vaguely racist thing to say. We will never know. Or maybe we already do. *shrug*

I don't fish. I stay on dry land.

Sad. You have someone to feed you.

 

[Jiro]

Shall we kite-fight?

i would lose. how about sword fight?

You'd DEFINITELY lose that. Lol.

 

[Jiro]

You'd DEFINITELY lose that. Lol.

not against you though

 

[TWA]

not against you thought

You already did.

 

[Jiro]

You already did.

let it all out.... let it all out....

 

[somedeafdudefromPNW]

i would lose. how about sword fight?

Where at?

 

[Jiro]

Where at?

[somedeafdudefromPNW]

I thought so too. Apparently Jiro is okay with that though. *shrug*

Without him, I shudder to think where we d/hoh would be right now in terms of equality. The Civil Rights Movement wasn't just a fight for African-Americans; it was a fight for everyone who has been discriminated against just for simply being who are they are. MLK may have had his faults, but his dream was big enough for all of us, and we are forever indebted to him.

Well said.

I thought it was a bit more than "vaguely" racist.

Oh, me too. I was being sarcastic.

 

[jillio]

Oh, me too. I was being sarcastic.

I figured.

I remind again. I am part black.

 

[TXgolfer]

Care to elaborate?

Sure simple.

Animosity..... Some think King and X among others actually hampered the efforts of the Kennedy's and the "feel good" era.

How the hell can "MLK held blacks back" be racist??? Exactly what part of that statement was negative toward blacks?
