Thomas Jefferson's lofty wisdom bent the trajectory of America and all who admired her, towards justice, freedom, greatness.

Have you ever strolled through Anacostia? God forbid, at night.

The flaws of mankind are varied person to person. All are flawed - and in the cases of those people who become more prominent, such flaws tend to become more and more evident to others. Truth about human behavior does not respect race, gender, social prominence, cultural importance, etc., etc..

Sounds a lot like any and all religions, doesn't it? MLK and Muhammad are park-bench bros. Didn't even make it to the rising, but are as worshipped as JC. And that legend is more than a little suspect.

Al Gore and Greta dumass didn't even make it that far, not for lack of trying.

1. Who's complaining? Show me where I belly-ached about TJ getting poked.

2. But if I did care, my care would be legitimate in a way the MJKjr rimjobbers' is not.

Well said. The reason that we look at the speck of sawdust in someone else’s eye and we don't look at the plank in our own eye...it's easier to look at the sawdust in someone else’s eye because it distracts us from the plank in our own eye...in fact, other people’s issues (the things that are messed up about others) make us feel better about us.The reason that we do this is because it's easier on us. It distracts us from the fact that we’ve got issues as well. So the reason that we notice what's wrong with other people rather than what's wrong with us is because it helps us feel better about us. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in someone else's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye...?" - Jesus

Because everybody's got a plank, right Antlers?

Antlers, can somebody with a plank point out somebody else's plank?

Good luck in changing close to sixty years of fables when it comes to MLK. Just another example of white guilt and nothing more. A national holiday for him was and is a travesty, but we don't learn. A few years ago, everyone went nuts over the Tuskegee Airmen and their bogus exploits during WWII. All either made up or just exaggerated. Recently we are now naming an aircraft carrier after a man just because he was black and if you think it had anything to do with his well-deserved navy Cross, you're as big an idiot as those who think Oswald and Ray were part of an organized conspiracy, but then again the list of assumptions by "experts" on the Fire are legendary...

Jorge and I do not often agree, but he is spot on about this. People need to stand on their own merits, and not on the color of their skin. Instead, we have "propped up" Black people simply because they are Black, and have promoted them at a rate that far exceeds that of White people. If someone deserves to be honored, then honor them on what they did, and not on what race they belong to. If MLK had been White, he'd been just another man who was using religion to get him some puzzy. The Black navy guy who's getting the carrier named after him did an exceptional thing.......but so did hundreds, if not thousands of other men in WW2, that we've never heard of.


I am often called a racist on here, and so be it if that's what you want to do. But, I would feel a lot different towards other races of people if we all had to play on a level playing field, and if someone is better than me, so be it..........however, if someone is not, then so be that too. We are not all the same, never have been, never will be, and when a government tries to make us that way, it only serves to make things worse.

MLK did a lot of good in changing people’s minds about race. However, the current crop of race exploiters reject the good that was in MLK. They exploit race and racism for their own political gain and create race based fear and hate in order to motivate their supporters. Obama’s exploitation of the Trayvon Martin shooting, with the help of the progressive fascist news media is the best recent example of this evil.
