I Have a Dream Speech - delivered 28 August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C.

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.... I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."

Today, we have Critical Race Theory and the 1619 project that are diametrically apposed to these words of the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. Why do BLM and Democrat Leaders today go against these words of MLK and attempt to separate people of colors? Why do they attempt to make White People bad because of the color of their skin? Yet, they still try to put MLK on a pedestal while denouncing these very important words. He did not want to bash people of "White" skin. Not at all! Yet, this is the direction of the Democrat Party. Go ahead Democrats and try and defend CRT and the 1619 project while reading the above words of MLK's I have a dream speech.
Then, there are those who claim this is a white racist speech. MLK is dead and so is his dream.

 

[Nomad4Ever]

Wow, there is a lot going on here.

Suffice it to say that I find a lot of critical race theory valuable and that I also don't think anyone should ever feel guilty for being White. There is no contradiction between those beliefs.

 

[j brown's body]

From CRT or MLK? You decide:

"It was in the year 1619 that the first BLACK slave was brought to the shores of this nation. They were brought here from the soils of Africa and unlike the Pilgrim fathers who landed here at Plymouth a year later, they were brought here against their will..."

For more than 200 years Africa was raped and plundered, a native kingdom disorganized, the people and rulers demoralized and throughout slavery the BLACK slaves were treated in a very inhuman form..."

“White Americans must recognize that justice for black people cannot be achieved without radical changes in the structure of our society...The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism..."

"The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power. A nation that continues year after year to spend more $ on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death

"The crowning achievement in hypocrisy must go to those staunch Republicans and Democrats of the Midwest and West who were given land by our government when they came here as immigrants from Europe. They were given education through the land grant colleges..."

"These are the same people that now say to black people, whose ancestors were brought to this country in chains and who were emancipated in 1863 without being given land to cultivate or bread to eat; that they must pull themselves up by their own bootstraps..."

"The fact is, there has never been a single, solid, determined commitment on the part of the vast majority of white Americans to genuine equality for Black people."

"...for the good of America, it is necessary to refute the idea that the dominant ideology in our country, even today, is freedom and equality and that racism is just an occasional departure from the norm on the part of a few bigoted extremists."

"If America does not respond creatively to the challenge to banish racism, some future historian will have to say, that a great civilization died because it lacked the soul and commitment to make justice a reality for all men."

"Why do white people seem to find it so difficult to understand that the Black people are sick and tired of having reluctantly parceled out to THEM those rights and privileges which all others receive upon birth or entry in America?"

"I never cease to wonder at the amazing presumption of much of white society, assuming that they have the right to bargain with the BLACK for their freedom..."

Opposed to CRT? Lol @Grasshopper121212 who "loves" MLK but would dismiss him as a "race baiter" today. Read the words above and understand exactly what you don't seem to get.

MLK believed in colorblindness as much as he did his marriage vows.

If he were alive today, he'd be all for reverse discrimination and "peaceful protests", just as he was back then. More likely than not he'd also be onboard with the rest of the woke religion. Conservatives who try to portray MLK as one of them are on a road to nowhere.

 

[Mithrae]

Conservatives who try to portray MLK as one of them are on a road to nowhere.

Nothing new there though. They build magnificent tombs for the prophets they slew, as Jesus put it. Lauding and misappropriating the legacy of those who fight for social justice is far easier and more insidious than actually hearing and responding (even negatively) to their message.

Completely disagree. He wasn’t then and so how do you talk for MLK stating he would be a racist today? This statement here defeats your position:
“one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."

Completely the opposite. It’s you who doesn’t seem to get it. Instead, like many on the far left and far right, they want to ignore MLKs words or twist them into continuance of hate.

You only trot out one quote multiple times and act like that's his life's work.

Yes, he believed that but there was also a whole heck of a lot of other things. The fact that you think CRT and MLK are opposite beliefs clearly says you are pretty ignorant of the real MLK and you are the one ignoring what you don't want to fit in your particular views.

 

[AmNat]

Completely disagree. He wasn’t then and so how do you talk for MLK stating he would be a racist today?

MLK explicitly supported discrimination against white people:

"Whenever the issue of compensatory treatment for the Negro is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree; but he should ask nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but it is not realistic." - MLK, Why We Can't Wait

This statement here defeats your position:
“one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."

That was (and is) the eschatological hope of the left. The left's temporal objective, then and now, is to legally disfavor white people, keeping faith that such discrimination will eventually result in the promised post-racial utopia. That the insanity of their dream is more obvious now doesn't mean there's a discontinuity on their part.

 

[AmNat]

Nothing new there though. They build magnificent tombs for the prophets they slew, as Jesus put it. Lauding and misappropriating the legacy of those who fight for social justice is far easier and more insidious than actually hearing and responding (even negatively) to their message.

Many conservatives are just liberals from five minutes ago. What you don't get is that (mainstream) conservatives sincerely believe in MLK's dream, they just have enough realism to see that America circa 2000 was as close as anyone will ever get to racial egalitarianism. Some of them (not all), when confronted with MLK's actual views, will claim that affirmative action, riot apologism, etc. were justified in the 1960's but would not be now, and that MLK would've changed his view on those issues if he could've seen his vision implemented.

They're wrong, of course. MLK was a liberal, not a conservative; if he were alive today he would follow the party line just as he did then.

It actually both. You have an cherry-picked quotes from MLK speeches that are joined to give a very CRT perspective.

It's funny, we have another thread where the OP accused MLK of being a white supremacist.

You are right. I don't believe MLK wanted CRT. He sought peace and love. He protested during the day, always. He believed love was the way to victory and not blaming all white people. At least 350,000 white people who were against slavery and the South died for his right to protest. He attempted to match love with love. Not protest in the night time with violence, burning down buildings and killing people. But not today's bigots. They want to put white people in chains. Fortunately, most people who are Black don't feel the way you do and want peace and do not want to blame today's people who are White for what some of their forefathers did. Heck, my family came over from Russia and Germany in the late 1800's and early 1900's. My family had their own form of bigotry that was railed against them. I don't owe anyone who is Black any of my taxable money. Nor is our country inherently evil. The country did not start in the year 1619. We declared our independence as a county July 4th, 1776.
MLK was not a socialist nor a communist either.

No, your response was easily the dumbest post and factually wrong with a false narrative trying to equate MLK with CRT. Your belief that people who are White are inferior is inherently racist and has nothing to do with black and white children holding hands. How do you feel about interracial marriages or interreligious marriages?

 

[AGENT J]

No, your response was easily the dumbest post and factually wrong with a false narrative trying to equate MLK with CRT.

BOOM!!! just like I thought you got nothing, zip zero zilch LMAO thanks for further proving me right.
When did I "equate" MLK to CRT? oh that right never happened

Your belief that people who are White are inferior is inherently racist and has nothing to do with black and white children holding hands.

Hey look another retarded lie LMAO . . when did I say that . . ooooooops once again never happened
WOW this is awesome, your posts look even more stupid now than the failed OP

Quick make some more!!!

Tell me you don't know a thing about MLK without telling me you don't know a thing except the one thing you chose to highlight.

by Martin Luther King Jr.

Urban riots.​

Urban riots must now be recognized as durable social phenomena. They may be deplored, but they are there and should be understood. Urban riots are a special form of violence. They are not insurrections. The rioters are not seeking to seize territory or to attain control of institutions. They are mainly intended to shock the white community. They are a distorted form of social protest. The looting which is their principal feature serves many functions.

The policymakers of the white society have caused the darkness; they create discrimination; they structured slums; and they perpetuate unemployment, ignorance and poverty. It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society. When we ask Negroes to abide by the law, let us also demand that the white man abide by law in the ghettos. Day-in and day-out he violates welfare laws to deprive the poor of their meager allotments; he flagrantly violates building codes and regulations; his police make a mockery of law; and he violates laws on equal employment and education and the provisions for civic services. The slums are the handiwork of a vicious system of the white society; Negroes live in them but do not make them any more than a prisoner makes a prison. Let us say boldly that if the violations of law by the white man in the slums over the years were calculated and compared with the law-breaking of a few days of riots, the hardened criminal would be the white man. These are often difficult things to say but I have come to see more and more that it is necessary to utter the truth in order to deal with the great problems that we face in our society.

BOOM!!!! another delicious dodge and more lies . .
Communist?

sooo here we are in the same spot, us waiting for you to back up your tinfoil hat moonbat lies as our entertainment continues LMAO

1.)When did I "equate" MLK to CRT, quote it . .
2.) When did I say Whites are inferior and inherently racist, quote it
3.) When did I mention communism?

please let us know, thanks!

[Grasshopper121212]

Tell me you don't know a thing about MLK without telling me you don't know a thing except the one thing you chose to highlight.

It's the most important thing to highlight within this topic of reverse racism that the Woke left, CRT, The 1619 Project and BLM are all about. It's as simple as that. MLK was not in favor of White shaming. So, why are you for White shaming racism? What good do you see that will come from it? Since this new push to divide the races began recently, how has this better united the country? It hasn't. Over the past several decades of honoring MLK, race relations was getting much better. You see much more interracial marriages as well as just better relations between races. What still has been happening is the Democrat Party, mainly run by Blacks in the big cities, continue to shackle Blacks in the Ghettos with welfare and destruction of the family unit. 75% of black children are born out of wedlock and without a father in the home. So, don't tell us about how wonderful Democrats are when coming to Blacks. Democrats have just found a different way to control the minds and movement of Blacks in the Hood. Just more slavery.
