I have a dream that all black parents will have the right to choose where their kids attend school.
I have a dream that all black boys and girls will grow up with a father.
I have a dream that young black men will stop shooting other young black men.
I have a dream that all young black men will say “no” to gangs and to drugs.
I have a dream that all black young people will graduate from high school.
I have a dream that young black men won’t become fathers until after they’re married and they have a job.
I have a dream that young unmarried black women will say “no” to young black men who want to have sex.
I have a dream that today’s black leadership will quit blaming racism and “the system” for what ails black America.
I have a dream that black America will take responsibility for improving their own lives.
I have a dream that one day black America will cease their dependency on the government plantation, which has enslaved them to lives of poverty, and instead depend on themselves, their families, their churches, and their communities.
I feel much the same way as Joe - about poor corn-fed white trash in the South.
Part of MLK's dream was that people would be judged not by the color of their
skin but by their character. So let's judge tea party Joe by his character......
I support every single one of those,
with a single caveat. Remove "black" from all of them. They ought to apply to every single American everywhere.
My Own Dream for America « Joe Walsh
I'm actually a bit speechless at the moment. I would just as soon leave this sitting here and see how people view what he said. I figure my title is enough of an insight as to my perceptions.
so ignore the substantial problems that exist in inner city comunities ?

stop using the phrase government plantation and learn that using slavery as a rhetorical device in order to demean black Americans is unacceptable.
Your heartfelt rant changes my sentiment not a bit. Using the history of slavery as a tool to demean black Americans should not be accepted in mainstream society. Period.But the Democrats have a reputation to consider.
I mean how long have they been making promises and using the victim narrative for the exclusive reason to shore up political support ?
Years....decades. And their policies have such abposotive effect on inner city areas.....of wait, no their policies have turned into a massive disaster.
I may be crazy, but I believe "inner city
communities" fall within "everywhere" in america. Furthermore, "inner city communities" aren't JUST made up of black people. Unless you're blatantly now admitting that everytime you say "inner city communities" you're just using code language for "black people".

Dont suppose you happened to catch Farrakhan's speech at the MMM?I can't really say that I feel the same. I don't want to see pregnant teen girls and kids in gangs, but I wouldn't put it as he did. But it us real upsetting that such topics are only being brought up to attack black people with.
I just saw Bill on Fox talking like MLK would have said this stuff today. I would say that this attitude is getting pretty mainstream.
I can appreciate that you would want to denigrade the individual who presented these words because of the perceived and real flaws in his own character and life, however, the "dreams" are not actually bad goals even if many are unrealistic.
The timing and the attempt to associate with MLK is really classless but I won't discount the words solely because of it - many men of poor character say important and meaningful things at times.
