Would I have stood with MLK?

I am sorry that happens to you, it should not happen and we should work to end that type of prejudice.

For many African American it's different because the brutality of slavery and segregation caused generational damage to the community and culture.

More meaningless excuses to blame white people for personal failures by blacks.
 
Imagine if that treatment had happened to your families and culture for 200 years.
you forget the last 60 years. since 1964 blacks are guaranted no discrimination.
It took awhile to institutionalize, but there is absolutely no reason to point to slavery and discrimination now
 
Who says it didn't!?
my
Irish & Polish were mistreated for hundreds of years.

You don't know the first fucking thing about what MLK stood for.

You think he was all about being "colorblind", don't you?

he stood for NOT judging people by skin color. yes. he was all about being colorblind.

revenge is not a good basis for policy.

The drug war, redlining, racial profiling, disparate sentencing, closure of polling places, voter ID, urban planning that places dollar stores and liquor stores in poor neighborhoods, etc.

The ways in which institutional racism is alive and well are endless.
 
You are stupid if you do not think the past affects the present.
you act like there was no Civil War, not Civilrights legislation and now 3 generations removed.

You are clinging to the past, and that attitude is deleterious to black advancement.

I think of the OTHER black leaders of the 60's -they dont want welfare and excuses -they wanted EMPOWERMENT
White lib virtue signaling along with "plantation mentality" is a cancer against living in today modern uSA

More baseless excuses so you don't have to admit the truth, boy.

Prove your cowardice. I command you.

In Jarod's mind, as long as he needs excuses, things will be one generation away.

That's beyond oversimplification, but it's common coming from children who only heard 30 seconds of MLK's "I have a dream" speech, and literally nothing else the man said.

revenge is not a good basis for policy.

He wasn't about revenge. He was about socialism and racial justice.

[FONT=&quot]I want to say to you as I move to my conclusion, as we talk about “Where do we go from here?” that we must honestly face the fact that the movement must address itself to the question of restructuring the whole of American society. There are forty million poor people here, and one day we must ask the question, “Why are there forty million poor people in America?” And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising a question about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I'm simply saying that more and more, we've got to begin to ask questions about the whole society. We are called upon to help the discouraged beggars in life's marketplace. But one day we must come to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.[/FONT]

LMAO..did you see any problems with black turnout this election? it was thru the roof.

I love dollar stores, I shop a LOT there and save money. Liquor stores are everywhere.
I do agree about "food deserts" but zoning and now riots are hurting chain expansion
