Walmart looting = Reparations for Blacks

[Breeze]

well how else is he supposed to say an opinion on isolated events of african americans without getting people jumping down his throat

People need to take back their right to speak their mind and stop worrying about brainwashed sheep regurgitating some worn out phrase or label. An idiot is an idiot, there are plenty of them on both sides of any debate. My problem is with people who have real concerns, but remain silent because they are afraid of being labeled a racist, which is the most worn out word of our generation. The PC plague has robbed people of their individuality and made them ashamed of their own race, to feel responsible for everything bad in the world. I have always had strong views about things, I know who I am and what I'm about. I will not say anything on a message board that I won't say in person, I'm a stand up guy, if I have a view about something I will not change it just because it may be unpopular. Therefore, I don't get concerned when someone calls me a (insert buzzword here). They are only reciting what they learned in school or watching MTV. Unlike many of the "tolerant" people who think I'm wrong because I think for myself, I don't feel superior to anyone different than me. I am not a moral authority or a self proclaimed expert on every topic, I don't expect everyone to agree with me. I respect people who at least believe in something, at least they think about things. I do wish that people who carry the PC flag would follow their own rules, as I do mine.

Pull that jacked mofo out of the line at the border. He's probably carrying steroids!

He's more likely to have steroids on him than the 80 year-old grandmother who's inching through customs with her walker...so...yes, that would be effective profiling.

If you are going to make a "truth" about MLK moral position , then making a statement that he may be an adulter based on the words of a biased group at the time is not a viable source of information

Prove to me that I should ignore words of a man who even loves his enemies...

So I want to turn your attention to this subject: "Loving Your Enemies." It's so basic to me because it is a part of my basic philosophical and theological orientation—the whole idea of love, the whole philosophy of love. In the fifth chapter of the gospel as recorded by Saint Matthew, we read these very arresting words flowing from the lips of our Lord and Master: "Ye have heard that it has been said, ‘Thou shall love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.' But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven."

Certainly these are great words, words lifted to cosmic proportions. And over the centuries, many persons have argued that this is an extremely difficult command. Many would go so far as to say that it just isn't possible to move out into the actual practice of this glorious command. They would go on to say that this is just additional proof that Jesus was an impractical idealist who never quite came down to earth. So the arguments abound. But far from being an impractical idealist, Jesus has become the practical realist. The words of this text glitter in our eyes with a new urgency. Far from being the pious injunction of a utopian dreamer, this command is an absolute necessity for the survival of our civilization. Yes, it is love that will save our world and our civilization, love even for enemies.

The man is on a street sign in every town in America for a reason... He loved even people who bashed him without "facts" such as yourselves

He is on a street sign in my town because some blacks demanded that the former name be changed "or else". The business owners were against it for various reasons including the need to change names on their paperwork and because the name MLK often is a sign that you are not in a good part of town. Plus, blacks make up about 5% of my area and while people here don't have a problem with MLK, they don't discuss him around the dinner table either. I think he was a good person and definitely influential, but he would not be on my top 10 list of people to name a street after. Now the street in my town is called by 2 names in order to satisfy everyone. Ironically, the street follows part of the path of The Trail of Tears (from the forced migration of the Cherokee Tribe to those who don't know). Since I have some Cherokee blood I would find it more appropriate to name the street after something that actually occurred there instead of naming it after someone who never even passed through the area. Again, nothing against MLK, it's just that different people have different heroes.

frucking awesome post

I don't wish to go over any of the lack of content that you have spewn on this thread. There are no "fact" that you have shown, but you and a few other have tried to make a "point" that MLk is not a man of his word. Then again the same has been said for Jesse jackson and every other african American leader since they do not have the same skin color as you knuckleheads...

To quote the doctor:
This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.

Enough said... Your bank of bullshit has just come to went NSF

I wouldn't like Jesse Jackson if he was the color blue, he is the ambulance chaser of civil rights. About the "Note". Is that really MLK's interpretation of the Constitution? What does life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness have to do with someone writing him a check? That sounds like a Jesse Jackson quote, he thinks he is owed a living for blackmailing people and showing up at every crisis he can attend. "We refuse to believe the bank of justice is bankrupt". That sounds like a looters philosophy to me. The mentality of entitlement, a debt that will never be paid, personal responsibility that will never be taken, an outer enemy to take the focus away from the inner self. It's true that I don't have the same reverence for these people that you do, and you probably feel the same about my heroes. I don't expect you to, and I don't think you are wrong if you don't.

Yep...I figured you were hijacking the thread b/c you were tired of unjustifiably defending the people who are looting b/c they are black.

Learn to differentiate b/w the fact that they are black and the fact that they are the lowest forms of human beings for shooting at people trying to evacuate/help people!

Th is just racist and nothing more... People arent looting because thier skin color is black..

Th is just racist and nothing more... People arent looting because thier skin color is black..

Not their skin color...Their way of life. Always lookin' to hustle or make ends meet without having to earn it.

 

[gjohnson5]

they don't discuss him around the dinner table either

This is a general problem with education in America that tends to shy away from accomplishments and achievments of African Americans. Infact African American history doesn't get much press at all in schools except black ones.

Maybe this is the reason they demanded an MLK drive??
