I'll pay for that if you want me to.
Those aren't baseball-sized holes. They're windows. Windows of opportunity.

Liberals are often confused by windows of opportunity. And opportunity.

And once again, a Conservative tries to explain his support of racism.

So according to your own words, you like MLK b/c you think he didn't want to force equality. "Everyone should be treated equal, but if they aren't... meh, so be it."

And you don't like Jackson b/c while he also believes everyone should be equal, and he'll fight for that equality? "Everyone should be treated equal, but if they aren't... dammit, why are you making such a big deal about equality?!"

Your post is full of sadness. Sadness about your smearing the reputation of MLK by completely misrepresenting his ideas. Sadness about your warped understanding of equality and the fight for it. Sadness about your ignorance on your OWN bigotry.

MLK is safely in his grave. That's the difference. If he was alive, conservatives would hate him just as much as they did when he was alive.

Which is why when MLK is invoked by a certain group of people, it should go in one ear and out the other. I disregard it myself and act as if they'd never even said his name because i know it's a load of bull.
Why mention conservatives hating MLK? MLK was a conservative. The democrats hated MLK, don't forget that.

So tell us OP, just who should be the spokesperson for every black American in this country? I mean, you clearly believe that Rev. Al speaks for every single black person so who should this "collective" be turning their attention to?
There should not be a spokesperson for every black American in this country, nor should there be one for the whites.

Rev Al. is the complete opposite of MLK. MLK said to judge by the content of your character and Rev. Al says judge by the color of your skin. The Left killed MLK because he was ruining the free handout mentality and relieving the community from the desperate control of the racists and demagogues.
