A few posts on here talk about how the contrasts between Beck and MLK and the conclusions go a little bit something like this: Beck is obviously a lying racist nazi that MLK would disapprove of; and Beck supports war because war is cool / MLK would have been a tea partier
MLK. He rabble roused for civil rights and said "I have a dream.", got shot, everyone cried and now his supposed sensibilities are being used a litmus test to see how racist someone is. His legacy is equal to wearing a WWJD bracelet for people as far as I can tell.
How are we going to become a post racial society if we keep acknowledging race in class struggles? I remember all of the politically correct BS in school and all of the "diversity" crap I hear now. All it ever does is make people of different races "aware" of each others faults and ending it, "but we cannot be prejudiced" does not undo the racist things that were taught.
What is the relevance of using MLK as an example? What is it supposed to mean to me? Do I need to revere MLK first in order to get it?
