There's no truths in that article whatsoever. I wouldn't expect any thing less from the NY Post though.
The wealthy (mostly white men) of America fear the changing demographics of America's population and they are not willingly going to relinquish that power any time soon.
To a lesser extent, minority groups in America are finally realizing that neither D's or R's represent their interests and they are forming their own political groups.
IF MLK was alive today I have no doubt he could become President if he wanted.
too afraid to read it, eh?
that's the only explanation for such a nonsensical statement.
why don't you read it and then demonstrate an untrue statement in the article for us?
The far left progressive intersectionality identity politics crowd is the problem here. They are the ones making everything about race.
Mostly true...
However
Team Red's response to Team Blue's race obsession should be to support anti-collectivist/pro-individualist ideals. What I see, as a member of Team Me, is Team Red complaining about pop culture, public schools, and government policy instead of simply shunning pop culture, calling for an abolishment of public schools, and at the very least pushing for a smaller government (outright abolishment scares Team Red...I know).
Those are collectivist sectors with public schools and government policy being involuntary. If you want to play the involuntary collectivist game don't be surprised when you lose some of these wars.
This is why Team Red isn't a viable option for any individual who wishes to promote individuality.
Flawed as MLK, Jr., I think he was a better leader than Al Sharpton. I think MLK, Jr. would be rolling in his grave at what our race relations our now!
I do too. At least he SAID the right things. However, his real dream was a couple of Ho's and some Smack.
Oh, it's just ironic and funny to see a bunch of right wing reactionary white folks tout up MLK as a savior, given that it's probably a sure thing that they were against all the things that MLK advocated. Folks also forget that King was pretty reviled by the white establishment back then and constantly faced death threats (to the end of his all-too short life).
Heck, if a modern day King was alive today, he'd be called names, condemned to all h*** by the powers that be, and more.
I'm being serious. There's no reason to clutch your pearls.
Did I say it in a derogatory manner? No. Just stating the facts. Hey, Marion Barry was re-elected after going to jail for corruption, fraud and bribes, and was filmed with Ho's and Smack. Didn't hurt him.
If I say it is "my dream" for mankind to live in peace...does that mean I am responsible for whether it happens or not?
Millions of people, perhaps billions, have the same dream. You are picking and choosing......and interpreting based on "conservative" (yes/no) "logic".
He said he may not see it happen. He knew he would likely be killed for speaking out - that is what white nationalism does to people like him.
YET, I think if he were alive today, he'd revel in many of the positive changes that have been made.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
He would disappointed that his words/message has been forgotten.
I do too. At least he SAID the right things. However, his real dream was a couple of Ho's and some Smack.
This is the dream of most of "mankind" whether or not they want to admit it.
I remember an episode of that "mustang ranch" show where some low level porn star had two yokels for a customer experience.
I have never seen two men who were so happy. They seriously could not believe their own.....experience....
