He made some white people pretty uncomfortable when he was alive. Comrade Grumpy Nov 2015 #1
This is an article. bravenak Nov 2015 #2
Especially when he made the link to class & economics. That's when the "assassination hammer" villager Nov 2015 #26
Exactly-he was reaching across racial lines to poor white people as well. jalan48 Nov 2015 #41
Precisely -- and *that* became the real danger. nt villager Nov 2015 #47
The real anger was in him liberating BLACKS!! bravenak Nov 2015 #55
I think he would be really pissed how for so long the non-violence has been LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #81
Cities burned when he was murdered by white supremacists. bravenak Nov 2015 #83
And the only city that did not burn was the one RFK in which spoke to the people. LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #85
People should look up MLK's views on Riots. bravenak Nov 2015 #88
"Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights -- of meeting physical force with soul force." LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #93
Boom! bravenak Nov 2015 #96
They should also look up what he was planning with his Poor People's March on Washington. nt villager Nov 2015 #98
Too bad he was murdered by white supremacists for liberating blacks first. bravenak Nov 2015 #99
You certainly like wielding a cudgel to keep people separated from each other, eh, Bravenak? villager Nov 2015 #102
That was a historical fact! bravenak Nov 2015 #106
A little on King's assassination, in the wake of the civil trial: villager Nov 2015 #114
What does this have to do with ANYTHING? bravenak Nov 2015 #126
Huh? After all your shouted assertions that you knew exactly who killed King? And why? villager Nov 2015 #129
White supremacists killed King. bravenak Nov 2015 #131
Ok -- links and names, please. I provided some already. villager Nov 2015 #135
Ok. But they were still white supremacists. So they got help. Okay. And? bravenak Nov 2015 #139
They "got help?" Yeah, I guess you could minimize the role of police departments & intelligence villager Nov 2015 #144
Those institutions were filled with white supremacists. bravenak Nov 2015 #147
And... you haven't actually bothered to read what I posted/linked to, have you? villager Nov 2015 #150
You do not want to build bridges with me bravenak Nov 2015 #153
Wrong. But if you're hectoring people instead of talking with them, how will that bridge villager Nov 2015 #163
This is not hectoring. bravenak Nov 2015 #170
But *you're* the one supporting a white moderate for President! villager Nov 2015 #174
They are all MODERATES to ME! bravenak Nov 2015 #176
Well, that's actually a pretty fair statement. As was the need for each of us respecting villager Nov 2015 #183
You have a good one too. bravenak Nov 2015 #211
White supremacists killed King. AlbertCat Nov 2015 #204
You are very welcome. bravenak Nov 2015 #206
Amazingly, some seem to NOT realize, they are doing exactly what the excerpt of the article ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #116
Amazing that unabashed supporters of self-described white moderates are doing exactly villager Nov 2015 #121
Who would those people be? And, how does that relate to me ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #166
Well, it's not for me to tinker with your own personal irony-meter villager Nov 2015 #167
Oh, they KNOW. bravenak Nov 2015 #128
He wasn't killed simply for liberating blacks. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #246
He was killed because he caused a paradigm shift on race. bravenak Nov 2015 #256
If he was going to be killed solely over race, they'd have killed him in 1963, not 1968. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #263
You don't think they were trying to kill him for YEARS? bravenak Nov 2015 #265
Nobody's stopping you from having anything for yourselves. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #270
So. bravenak Nov 2015 #271
He fought the racists AND the oligarchy. It's just as heroic either way. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #276
He left it out the other day when he discussed the sanitation workers strike. bravenak Nov 2015 #281
It was wrong to do that, I agree. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #286
I see it as a pattern of behavior. A part of his personality. bravenak Nov 2015 #287
His killer: bravenak Nov 2015 #266
Dr. King's own family have questioned the idea that Ray was the killer. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #272
Okay. bravenak Nov 2015 #273
What's so threatening in admitting that the perceived threat was in King bringing class into it? Ken Burch Nov 2015 #138
Because it is rewriting history to place themselves front and center. bravenak Nov 2015 #220
For myself, I still place the freedom movement and Dr. King front and center. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #226
As long as people are aware of history and cultural appropriation. bravenak Nov 2015 #229
People using MLK to bludgeon black people??! The HELL you say! Number23 Nov 2015 #237
I try not to use the actual words that describe such nasty souls. bravenak Nov 2015 #239
I don't think anyone was saying Bernie was "BLM 50 years before BLM". Ken Burch Nov 2015 #245
I saw that EXACT QUOTE. bravenak Nov 2015 #253
Yes, he fought for blacks, first and foremost. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #274
You seem to be trying to say the real fight was the one you mention. That is the issue. bravenak Nov 2015 #275
That isn't what I meant at all. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #279
Okay. bravenak Nov 2015 #282
Sighhh ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #109
You DO realize the irony of your unabashed support for a white moderate, while saying this, right? villager Nov 2015 #132
Why do you assume he's an unabashed lovemydog Nov 2015 #223

Well, whatever Steven. Good holidays to you & yours however. villager Nov 2015 #259
Yep. And seem to honestly believe that no one sees or understands what they're doing Number23 Nov 2015 #238
And in 2-4 months they will deny they ever did it. Like... stevenleser Nov 2015 #242
You know it. Either it was never said or it was actually secret double agent Hillary supporters Number23 Nov 2015 #244
Yep...and I remember it well zeemike Nov 2015 #110
Exactly. The final danger he posed is that we wouldn't all stay at each other's throats. villager Nov 2015 #141
Yep, the bitter irony.n/t zeemike Nov 2015 #186
He didn't win the Nobel for attacking white people. elehhhhna Nov 2015 #168
He won it for LIBERATING BLACK PEOPLE bravenak Nov 2015 #171
I am well aware of Dr. Kings history etc. and your shouting adds nothing to thus convo. elehhhhna Nov 2015 #179
I could support whom ever. They are all way to my RIGHT. bravenak Nov 2015 #181

Damn skippy....all those who tout Bernie marching? How many of them marched with BLM? nt msanthrope Nov 2015 #4
Even if they marched, they did it PATERNALISTICALLY. bravenak Nov 2015 #6
I would disbelieve any marching clains. nt msanthrope Nov 2015 #14
I believe nothing without video. Even then.... bravenak Nov 2015 #57
Yes, I remember the pics of them rushing to the front and middle of some protests. Couldn't bear to freshwest Nov 2015 #20

By the attitude that remains. bravenak Nov 2015 #254
If someone is accused, wrongly, of NOT marching in support of BLM Ken Burch Nov 2015 #267
But nobody was accusing you of NOT marching! bravenak Nov 2015 #268
If I read your post upthread right, you seemed to be saying that NO Sanders supporters marched. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #277
That is not exactly what I meant at all. bravenak Nov 2015 #278
I don't think you can even assume they did it paternalistically. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #284
I can when they use it to get credit and accolades. bravenak Nov 2015 #285
I think they're mainly doing it to show they are on your side. Ken Burch Nov 2015 #288

Like Ghandi, MLK was a great man who's message reached out to all people. jalan48 Nov 2015 #77
But was intended for the liberation of African americans, not to be used as a cudgel AGAINST Blacks. bravenak Nov 2015 #82

You've certainly been arguing with progressives more, due to the Hillary vs Bernie primary fight Martin Eden Nov 2015 #355
This is all over the internet and in real life. bravenak Nov 2015 #357
No, I don't see how that can be construed as Bernie "minimizing" Martin Eden Nov 2015 #374

"The problem is too many white people think it was white people who gave you rights" SusanCalvin Nov 2015 #310
Seriously. Who thinks that white people gave black people rights? Autumn Nov 2015 #313
I read all the time how much respect I need to give. bravenak Nov 2015 #317
