Is this what we are doing today? Making Anti-MLK threads?

Unfortunately, there is more than just this thread that proves racism is rampant; it's all over City Data, even though the TOS clearly states that racism won't be allowed here.

To be fair, the same thing is taking place on another forum I participate on, too.

I'm beginning to think I need to find a better class of people to hang out with on the internet.

Something like "Obama snubs MLK" perhaps?

Damned if he does; damned if he doesn't.

Also, I haven't watched the coverage, but I thought I heard that Jimmy Carter and Clinton were in attendance; what about the other two surviving former presidents - Bush I and II?
Both have medical issues. It does seem odd that republicans like to claim ML was one...yet they are not in attendance and post threads hating on him. Odd?

MLK voted republican but is hated by GOPers?

This happened back in January, and it was even more virulent.

I would have been surprised if Bush I had shown up (for obvious reasons), but I guess I didn't realize that Bush II's medical issue was that serious.

I wish I could find a forum where people of different opinions could have reasonable discussions about various topics without all the baggage and BullS. If you know of one, DM me the link.

Why am i not surprised that you would just sit on the sideline when black kids are being bombed and sprayed with hoses. (your words, you said you wouldn't stand for anything.)
