When I see right wingers and white nationalists using MLK quotes well then

[irisblue]

###THIS IS THE AA GROUP. PLEASE RESPECT THIS###
More then a few of the RW m-f-in congress critters & their social media people are going to pull a f-ton of quotes that that they have no gottdamed understanding of history, context and who he was.


Also no quotes from any other AA women or men are worth using?!?!?

(Thank you for listening to my rant. I'm stopping off now, a few people here are annoying me a f-ton and I can only allow my inner Anger Manager out so long)

1. White America has an approved, sterilized MLK playlist

and they play tracks from his "Greatest Hits" once a year or when they feel like attempting a "Libs are hypocrites, MLK said blah blah blah" facebook post

In pop culture the same type of lazy appropriation and false virtue signaling would be the Bob Marley "Fan" who has the "Legend" CD memorized but has never even heard of "Catch A fire" or "Babylon By Bus"

This is all part of the tool kit needed to do the "Not Racist" persona they portray in public

2. Pasty-skinned reTHUG Fascists always deliver words and writings they believe will achieve their

corrupt goals. Don't confuse these people with "White America"...

3. I respect you abqtommy and I feel your are in error in that statement in my thread

But your special pleading -(argument in which the speaker deliberately ignores aspects that are unfavorable to their point of view.)jumps out at me.

sure looks like a discussion that can be had on a different thread.
Looking forward to it

4. I return your respect. I kept my remarks here short out of that respect and also look forward to

further fruitful discussion.

13. No - REALLY?

Graham?

That's just sick.

Just stay home, buy a car or something, and shut the fuck up.

I suppose so many of us think of these images in black and white, makes the obvious racism more 'ancient times' less a within living memory fact.

11. Thanks for the pics and inspiring words. In 1961 I was 12 years old and Dr. King has always been an

inspiration for me, along with many others. Even RW hypocrisy won't change that.
