And proved my point perfectly. Anyone not black who makes a comment about, regarding or related to blacks is a racist and you believe you have an unalienable right to scream racist.

Pathetic, JO.

What did I say that makes you feel like you need to shutup?

If you feel the need to back down when challenged that’s your problem. All I did was tell you what I think about what you said.

So quit lying and saying that I tried to squelch your rant. Again, I welcome all comers. Quite honestly, I find your posturing, posing and whining amusing…like men’s ballet.

I am sorry that your ego was bruised. I assume that when people come at me they have thick enough skin to hang out dance a while.

I find your retorts amusing. Please continue, I’ll go easy.

then used the resulting frustration to fuel your personal crusade against anybody accusing anybody of racism.

And proved my point perfectly. Anyone not black who makes a comment about, regarding or related to blacks is a racist and you believe you have an unalienable right to scream racist.

Pathetic, JO.

I respond thoughtfully and thoroughly to people or idiots with whom I take issue.

That statement proves how out of touch with reality you are, JO.

January 6, 1964, was a long day for Martin Luther King Jr. He spent the morning seated in the reserved section of the Supreme Court, listening as lawyers argued New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, a landmark case rising out of King’s crusade against segregation in Alabama. The minister was something of an honored guest: Justice Arthur Goldberg quietly sent down a copy of Kings account of the Montgomery bus boycott, “Stride Toward Freedom,” asking for an autograph. That night King retired to his room at the Willard Hotel. There FBI bugs reportedly picked up 14 hours of party chatter, the clinking of glasses and the sounds of illicit sex–including King’s cries of “I’m f–ing for God” and “I’m not a Negro tonight!”

Note: What is not mentioned in this article is that Martin Luther King was having sex with three White women, one of whom he brutally beat while screaming the above mentioned quotes. Much of the public information on King’s use of church money to hire prostitutes and his beating them came from King’s close personal friend, Rev. Ralph Abernathy (pictured above), in his 1989 book, “And the walls came tumbling down.”

“Dude. I am not trying to be obtuse. But are you really comparing Christmas celebrations with a 40 year anniversary for the killing of Dr. King? Really?”

Who said anything about Christmas? I referred to the crucifixion, which is when Christ died on the cross. Man, you’re a funny guy. Stupid, but funny.

The rest of your rant makes about as much sense as your opening comment.

Like this,

“Look. I don’t know why someone would harbor so much resentment toward an obviously great man. Actually, I do know. But it’s still sad to see and hear.”

Followed later by this,

“Furthermore, I hope you do not think I am calling you a racist. I am not. I don’t know your values and cannot from such brief interactions.”

Confusion seems to be your cup of tea. And you’re so good at it.

Congrats.

I guess what I am coming to understand is just how deeply hurt and insulted many whites and others feel over being saddled with the racial baggage of the past.

FTFM

Thanks for lying about me. Doing so highlights your shortcomings, not mine.

I respond thoughtfully and thoroughly to people or idiots with whom I take issue. Whether you are a person or an idiot, I am unsure, but my response remains unchanged.

Check any one of my posts. I take great care to address specific points with clarity.

You and hundreds of others here make thousands of remarks about blacks. I have no problem with that except that I only have ten fingers with which to refute some of the BS I hear coughed up around here.

I do not like being lied about. However, I do appreciate you clearly portraying yourself as a liar. Good day to you.

Is that your opinion or just a hard and fast rule of the MSM? You’re playing with a weak hand there. It’s hard to swallow your load of crap considering all of the Christians on this planet “celebrate” the crucifixion of Christ, yet nobody currently alive had a front row seat.

Dude. I am not trying to be obtuse. But are you really comparing Christmas celebrations with a 40 year anniversary for the killing of Dr. King? Really?

Look. I don’t know why someone would harbor so much resentment toward an obviously great man. Actually, I do know. But it’s still sad to see and hear.

MLK has earned considerable scrutiny and disdain from the Right. For some reason, some people resent Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his achievements and his legacy. The only other group of detractors I have heard sounding equally irrational and rabid are anti-Christian bigots. You’re in good company.

So in your view, my pointing out how presidential candidates and the MSM fall over backward to cover the assassination of MLK while completely ignoring THE president responsible for freeing all the slaves, I am offending the black race? Did you ever give a second thought to how a more lasting bond between the races might take hold if we heard more appreciation for a president who righted a 150 year old wrong and heard some thanks to the Union soldiers who died so slaves could live and walk free?

I think you’re exploring some very important concepts there. You allude to improved race relations if only America had more greatly honored our Abe Lincoln. You have chosen an arbitrary set of historical facts, compared them, bathed them in racial conflict, then used the resulting frustration to fuel your personal crusade against anybody accusing anybody of racism.

I guess what I am coming to understand is just how deeply many whites and others feel over being saddled with the racial baggage of the past.

The best analogy I can give is that Mark Sanford guy on Fox and radio who can’t go one day without blaming women and political correctness on his not being able to get laid. You know the guy, right? That’s what many Republicans sound like about race.

Name one thing I said sir that suggested MLK was not a hero to his race, or his country. I only asked why one man deserved to be honored on both his birthday and his day of death, while another, who opened the door of freedom for each and every slave, was only honored only on his birthday. How does that possible imply that I have an ugly and narrow understanding of heroes?

You are correct here. I overstated my case by suggesting that you do not see MLK as heroic. My bad. I understand now that you just don’t think him worthy of a national holiday.

Furthermore, I hope you do not think I am calling you a racist. I am not. I don’t know your values and cannot from such brief interactions.

I do know that you seem pretty sensitive. I do know that you sound very angry. For now, that’s who you are to me, an angry, sensitive guy.

Thanks for the offer to piss off. But I’ll hang out for a while. I enjoy the fireworks.

“The contemporary media celebrates and makes a spectacle of any and every anniversary event possible.”

That’s a lie. They do not make a spectacle of the anniversary of Lincoln’s assasination, as was my point. Pay attention.

“We don’t celebrate Lincoln’s murder in the same way because nobody is currently alive who was saw JWB shoot Lincoln. It’s really insulting to have to explain this concept to an adult.”

Is that your opinion or just a hard and fast rule of the MSM? You’re playing with a weak hand there. It’s hard to swallow your load of crap considering all of the Christians on this planet “celebrate” the crucifixion of Christ, yet nobody currently alive had a front row seat.

“Hat’s off to you for being the precise reason Republicans will never gain their rightful foothold in minority communities.”

I had no idea I wielded such power. So in your view, my pointing out how presidential candidates and the MSM fall over backward to cover the assassination of MLK while completely ignoring THE president responsible for freeing all the slaves, I am offending the black race? Did you ever give a second thought to how a more lasting bond between the races might take hold if we heard more appreciation for a president who righted a 150 year old wrong and heard some thanks to the Union soldiers who died so slaves could live and walk free?

“I really have to wonder how much pain and personal torment one must endure to arrive at such an ugly and narrow understanding of one of America’s most important heroes.”

Name one thing I said sir that suggested MLK was not a hero to his race, or his country. I only asked why one man deserved to be honored on both his birthday and his day of death, while another, who opened the door of freedom for each and every slave, was only honored only on his birthday. How does that possible imply that I have an ugly and narrow understanding of heroes?

“I wonder what other ways this sadness manifests itself in your daily life.”

Piss-off pal, you know not of what you speak. You assume to know a hell of a lot about others, but from where I sit, it is obvious you know very little. The only sadness I feel is for all of the minorities, who like sheep being led to slaughter, step into the voting booth year after year voting for the Democrats who walk all over them, take advantage of them at every step and take their vote and loyalty for granted.

If you think MLK’s accomplishments are on par with President Lincoln’s, as it relates to the betterment of the lives of African Americans, that’s your perogative.

I don’t. And I stand by it. That doesn’t make me a racist.

And I guess in your distorted little world, calling someone with a different point of view an idiot, will do much to bring all the races together.

and represents the best of American character, spirituality, and liberty.

But not Washington or Lincoln?

Will Blacks ever figure it out that they are used by the Democrats?

As Ken Hamblin used to say: “Democrats love black people…they think every white person ought to own one.”

Does reconquista and atlan ring a bell?

I trust that I am not the only person who sees your comment as a perfect example of racial stereotyping.

You saddle all “black people” with the awful words of Rev. Wright when many are no less disgusted by them than you are.

All black people do is bitch? That is a lie and a racist one at that.

Tell that to this man’s family.

See Officer Simmons in action.

I agree that liberals are extremely adept at bitching and moaning. Minority liberals are an elite class of whiners. But Republicans are quickly catching up and will soon take the lead.

It’s oh so chic to remark about the ironic ills of black/white racism while alluding to a plethora of black friends and family while praising the genius of Thomas Sowell. The best are the Up From Suburbia tales of being the only white kid in one’s school.

I call it reverese-whining. What exactly is the difference between Republicans whining about being white can be so inconvenient at times and Dems calling school vouchers racist? Nothing.

Both feel entitled to advocate for their racial empowerment. I think your average black has a little more room for complaint than your average Republican. But as a member of both groups, let me be the first last to tell all of you to STFU.

Oh well. I’m bored with my own rant.

take away:
If you feel the need to minimize the achievements of MLK, you’re an idiot with low self-esteem.

There are so many things wrong with the comment you posted, I don’t even know where to begin!

I’ll not bet against you. Dennis Prager is the only one who I can be reasonably sure will pay Lincoln the respect he deserves.
