To public school students: get ready for another long enjoyable month of black history. To the white ones: never forget how horrible and evil your people are. Teachers will keep pounding it into your head until it becomes a part of your being.
happy bday

Yeah but he plagiarised his thesis so everything else he did is invalid.
Plus he's black, I mean c'mon.

Don't forget the heterosexual males who are now discriminated against because only two gay men can marry in certain states, but not two straight guys.DUnlimited wrote:

It's that day again. Happy Birthday MLK Jr.
Nonviolent protest doesn't work without there being at least some threat of violence behind it. Gandhi and the Indian protest were the last stop right before another full Sepoy rebellion that in the post WW2 cold war climate, Britain would not be able to stop. MLK's protest were the last stop before racial warfare in a U.S. still struggling to prevent the expansion of the USSR.
I'm not downplaying what either man has done. I'm just saying that when trying to get political change on the level both of those guys worked towards then widespread political violence and terror has to be at least a possibility.

I had a discussion with one of my Professors about the extent to which MLK helped accomplish civil rights for minorities in the United States. It was more of an argument as he was yelling at me and labeling me a racist. All throughout the semester he was asserting the US was "the land of the free, home of the brave" and kept reiterating similar rhetoric. One of the examples he used was the civil rights movement being a pinnacle of US exceptionalism. I said that civil rights laws were passed under the guise of "liberty and equality for all," and the real pressure was from the Soviets and fear of more countries turning Communist he went off.Macbeth wrote:

Alas, internest convergence
Interest convergence will be why the country's drug laws will be reformed in at least some small way in the next 5-10 years. Basically because mainstream Americans have developed a taste for pot and wants a cut of the business rather than people getting fed up with mass imprisonment.
Dangit missed it by a day.
Oh well Happy Birthday
