Unfortunately, I can't rep you again. But......exactly. Thanks for your input.

Something I've said for a long time as a person who grew up and has lived in mostly rural areas all his life. When white people think it's safe, some of the vilest, most racist things come out of their mouths.

True, I grew up with four Native American friends, I was shocked the first time I saw my fellow whites treat them like they treated blacks, no racisim ever made any sense to me, there is no logic in it, it is how I have learned that racists hate everyone that are not of their special color.

Dr. King was on TV for a reason. He was doing things. Dr. King was murdered because he was pushing for change.

Exactly! I love the conversations that start with "i'm not racist, i have black friends" anyone saying that and having to think about how they are defending themselves from being called racist.....well here's your sign, you are racist.

Ok, lets segregate so you won't have to hear that anymore.

After reasoned thought, I feel I must thank lionsgater for starting this thread. This thread has provided a perfect forum for highlighting the exact principles that Martin Luther King fought for and the attitudes and mindset he fought against. It showcases the prevalence of those same attitudes today. We, as an equal nation, have a long way to go.........maybe another 50 years..........I don't know.

At least ctk0p7 won't have to hear anyone saying "I have a black friend" anymore since they are annoyed by it.
