Martin Luther King Day

[RastaKaze]

Today we pay tribute to a man who gave his life for freedom. I think everyone should take a moment to acknowledge that the privledges we have today did not come without the suffering of a generation. Happy Martin Luther King day everybody, I'm out.

RastaKaze :cool:

[Az.]

i didnt know it was MLK day today....but coincidently i was reading about him earlier here http://www.howstuffworks.com/ simply because he was on the front page.

Happy Martin Luther King day everyone :)

[VoidLivesOn]

"i didnt know it was MLK day today"

Me: Mom, do you know what day it is?
Mom: Monday.
Me: No, but what DAY is is?
Mom: The 16th
Me: (LOL) Yeah, but what DAY is it?
Mom: The 16th!

Yup. James Marshall Hendrix was a good man until he was murdered. The best.

Itâ??s funny because our trash day is on Mondays so of course there was no trash pick up on MLK day. And tons of my neighbors still put their trash out. I know for a fact that many of them that put their trash out have kids in school that had that day off so they knew it was a holiday and that their was no trash pick up!! It's like they just put it out anyway as a protest to the holiday!

Or maybe they just forgot and I'm too cynical.... I donâ??t know which it is. Probably a little of both.

Big up MLK!!!!!

[eddievanzant]

Big thumb down to Michael King. He was a terrible degenerate plagiarising hypocritical fake moralless communist unAmerican asshole who is rotting in hell, and RastaKaze, I don't care what type of response a typical white person would say, no matter how offensive your comment was, because if that is a typical response, I don't mind having uniquity in my response.

Fuck King!!!! Fuck King!!!!


You want to know why he has his own Holiday when people like Booker T. Washington don't? It's because the white leaders of America know that he is a degenerate and don't mind letting such a dick represent the civil rights movement. He didn't even write some of his own speeches (I'm not certain whether or not he wrote his most famous one).

African Americans diserve better.

I don't even know where to start with this

[RastaKaze]

You sound like a crazy hick for starters lol

[eddievanzant]

No I don't. You know that.

[RastaKaze]

Oh well... what can I expect... Ashland? LOL... Whatever. He was a great man, if you fail to see that then I feel sorry for you :(

Are you going to deny and undermine the entire positive movement that spawned out of Dr. Kings 'supposed' words, along with the people that were inspired by his 'sermons'?
-You say he was an alleged 'degenerate dick'. Even if it's true, the effects don't 'suck'.
-You claim he wasn't the author of things published and spread in his name. Even if it's true, and he was a puppet too, the words were carefully chosen because the power of the word is huge, to attain a complete nationwide positive social integration effect. African people call it the 'Nommo' philosophy.
-You say he's a communist? sigh
-You say he's unamerican? Come on the guy loved the opportunity and wanted to comply. He urged his brothers & sisters to do the same thing. He meant no harm to you or your family or even your civil rights which you all love so much.

So the only real point you state is that he has a holiday and others don't. Why?
NOT because the 'white supremacist' leaders of the free world allow this as a boutade, NOT because of some secret lobby or some organization.

The people wanted to pay their respects and remember this schism in American racial relations for the better.
MLK lives on in peoples hearts. Most of them. Not yours obviously. Try to accept certain things, or at least be able to modify your opinion.
ciao

[dirty raider]

Maybe Mr. Vanzant if you want your point to be taken seriously and not as just a attempt to start an arguement maybe you should back up what you said with reasons and facts.

Maybe I'm just being ignorant but to my knowledge he wasn't a child abuser or crack addict or anything which would back up the idea of him being a degenerate. Even if he didn't write some of his speeches it still takes a brave man to stand up and say what he did.

Great post Harv, I just didn't even have the energy... It's like trying to exlpain equality to the leader of the KKK :D

[eddievanzant]

You're an idiot. Why would a KKK member say that African Americans diserve better? This holiday is the equivalent of a holiday for Adolf Hitler.
There is no doubt that MK was a great speaker, but so was Hitler.
Even supporters of MK openly acknowledge that he did many questionable things. In his defense, they claim he was just like any other human being. I've never cheated on my wife, I've never plagiarised in order to obtain a PhD (which only was possible because his racist teachers thought he could do no better), so I guess I'm inhuman.

It's obvious you are not willing to look for this information yourself, so here are some links favoring my opinion of him:

1. His name. The first thing you learn about someone. His is actually Michael King. I honestly don't give a crap if he wanted to change his name, but it is consistant with his other Bullshitteries, so I must mention it. Check any good biography.
2. He was affiliated with this Cummunist thingamajig: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlander_Research_and_Education_Center
3. He was a supporter of Socialism. Check his wikipedia bio. I'm certain a search for him and socialism in google would turn up something. Oh look at that! http://www.google.com/search?q=martin+luther+king+socialism&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
I'm sick of proving a point to a fool. If you really want to see if you're wrong or not, read this: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/epstein9.html
If you have an attention span equivalent to what I had once expected from an American, you'll read this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/068483037X/ref=ase_lewrockwell/103-5863626-7903007?n=283155&tagActionCode=lewrockwell

Now onto why you are such a fool.
1. When another member admited to not knowing it was MK day, you called it a typical white reaction. Fuck you.
2. You stalled with your first reply to mine.
3. In your second reply, you called me a hick (lolololol...... lol!). Fuck you. I'm not a hick.
4. In post 18, all you could muster was a failed attempt to insult my town (which I hate) along with some condescending sympathy. Coming from a retard, I'm really hurt.
5. In 21, you admited to being incapable of defending your own opinion. A thought is worthless unless you are willing to defend it.
6. You compared me to a KKK member when it is apparent that I'm in favor of equality. Fuck you again. I have a better comparison- This is like a child (you) trying to tell an adult that (and not why, because you still have not defended your thought) Mac N' Cheese is better than, umm, some fancy dish; maybe Roast Duck.

[eddievanzant]

Don't try to call me some type of elitist either. I don't mind as much being called a KKK member because it is much easier to defend my innocence, but whena person who has been thoroughly "owned" by someone who, and there is no denying this because if you really want to I'll fax you some standardised test scores, is constantly above the average intellectually, it gets hard to defend myself. I'm not trying to sound smarter than you, I'm just proving to you why I have the right to hold this opinion of this dude.

[RastaKaze]

Ok, I understand that.

Fuck King!!!! Fuck King!!!!

But when you get hostile for no apparent reason and flame the fuck out of my thread, your not going to get a good response, from me or others here. If you can't state your beleifs rationally how are you so far above average intellectualy? I say your full of shit. And I didn't say you were a KKK member, just that your skull was as thick as one ;)

[eddievanzant]

My reason for hostility was apparent as it was divulged in the same sentence. My reason is that you generalised white people. I refuse to call you any more insults, because if I did, I may have to read one of yours (which totally suck ass). I've expressed my thoughts clearly and rationally, with the exception of my taking offense to your stereotyping generalization, which I admit is quite hostile, while you have continued to use baseless insults. At least when I called you a fool, I told you why. So far, you have been doing way too much of telling what and not any telling why.
Because I know you like to prejudge people on irrelevent things, I will tell you this: My town was once called Uniontown. Union - You know? The good guys in the civil war. That obviously makes me completely not racist! lol lol.
