    A grim task, but somebody has to do it. The people who are meant to do that will find their calling. Fortunately, most people do not have to do that.

    The most important thing for most people is to simply find that love of humanity in their own heart. The way MLK talked about.

    An appreciation for humanity. An acknowledgement that humans have created everything needed to enjoy a fabulous life.

    The challenge for most people is to carve out a beautiful life for themselves.

    The trick is to avoid all the many pitfalls which might deter one from grabbing the brass ring.

    Well, you know there are good people and bad people on both sides.

    It's important to remember that.

    Generalizations can work against us.

    Naturally, I disagree with the 'Uncle Tom' statement.

    Judge people by the content of their character not the color of their skin. Too bad so few leftists want to do that anymore.

    Default He’s obviously a highly educated man.

    It’s just an opinion on the topic.



    How did Martin Luther King disobey the law?
    Like Gandhi, King used civil disobedience as a means of effectuating government change. It took the form of large-scale, non-violent refusals to obey government commands. There were sit-ins and marches, all carried out against the wishes of local authorities.



    Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance. ... Treason (i.e. disloyalty) against one's monarch was known as high treason and treason against a lesser superior was petty treason.

    MLK was anti war and pro labor, hardly A Tom

    On Sept. 30, 1962, Oxford, Miss. erupted into violence when local white authorities, students and violent segregationists rioted to prevent a 29-year-old Air Force veteran named James Meredith from attending the University of Mississippi because he was Black.

    That was almost 60 years ago.

    Six months later, in a letter published in the New York Amsterdam News, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called on the public to support Meredith and his struggle, calling him "a symbol of self-respect and dignity."

    Then came the March on Washington, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the open housing movement, the Poor People's Campaign and, just a week after King's assassination, the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

    Now as we celebrate what would have been King's 93rd birthday, we can't help but look back at all the years that have passed from that moment to now and take stock of how far we've come - and how far we still have to go.

    Martin Luther King Jr was a radical. We must not sterilize his legacy

    In this brief celebratory moment of King’s life and death we should be highly suspicious of those who sing his praises yet refuse to pay the cost of embodying King’s strong indictment of the US empire, capitalism and racism in their own lives.


    We now expect the depressing spectacle every January of King’s “fans” giving us the sanitized versions of his life. We now come to the 50th anniversary of his assassination, and we once again are met with sterilized versions of his legacy. A radical man deeply hated and held in contempt is recast as if he was a universally loved moderate.

    The killing of Martin Luther King Jr was the ultimate result of the fusion of ugly white supremacist elites in the US government and citizenry and cowardly liberal careerists who feared King’s radical moves against empire, capitalism and white supremacy. If King were alive today, his words and witness against drone strikes, invasions, occupations, police murders, caste in Asia, Roma oppression in Europe, as well as capitalist wealth inequality and poverty, would threaten most of those who now sing his praises. As he rightly predicted: “I am nevertheless greatly saddened … that the inquirers have not really known me, my commitment or my calling.”

    It's only natural for haters to lash out at anyone who threatens their reasons for hating.

    And, of course, there is never a good reason to hate.

    Hatred is always wrong, always bad, never a good idea.

    It violates the Michelle Rule:

    "When they go low, we go high."

    Hatred is not going high. Hatred is going low.
