Dr. King was the politically acceptable civil rights activist. Malcom's message was ignored because he was an ex convict and was associated with the Nation of Islam. The media chose to give Dr. King airtime but marginalized Malcolm. MLK was great but why should he have a holiday and not X?

X got a stamp. I prefer X to MLK too, but I think both were important.
Why don't you come out and say what you really want to say, that black people have an obligation to vote for the black guy in 2012 because... well because he's "black".
I've wondered what most Blacks think of the moderate Blacks who don't support or vote for Obama.

Honestly, I doubt they even give them much thought other than to smear them from time to time and degrade them for not taking advantage of and supporting the enlargement of the gravy train like they do blindly.
I really can't stand Romney but he said it right today, if you want stuff that you don't have to pay for vote for Obama. Many black people heard that today and thought to themselves "you damn right we will, I want to keep my free cell phone/apartment/food card/SS check/ etc etc etc."

Those blacks... always looking for handouts from whites...
Political maturity? I don't see any of that. I see a great dependence on social programs and government employment, but not maturity.
I see too many get themselves in prison with the drugs and then have a tough life trying to find work.
Mob sent Kennedy to the WH by the way, not blacks.
You are a chump if you don't make yourself a say in both parties, because if the one left wing socialist party isn't in power, you are out!
PS: Before the Great Society programs there were 80% black families with two parent households.
So much for the liberal ideals IMO.
You P.S. would indicate you know things took a major change for the worse with min. wage regulation and LBJ's Great society kicking in. AAs are not some monolithic group, in spite of what the mainstream media or intellectual eggheads believe.
You're wrong on the LBJ/Welfare tape. It was civil rights legislation that LBJ was talking about.
AAs went 70%+ for JFK b/c he got his dixicrat buddies to release King from jail while Nixon gave a half-*** attempt.

Democrats used to be the ones that hosed their grandparents out of schools with fire hoses. They got the vote anyway by buying them. They gave social programs (welfare) in exchange for their future and soul IMO.
They had a tape of Johnson saying once you give them Welfare you have their vote for the next 50 years (or something similar to that).
How else did we go from 80% two parent black families to what it is today?
The social programs had a similar effect on everyone else as well.
