Possession is nine tenths of the lawWhy should you gain an advantage by being a white male?Who said it was your fault? Its your ancestors fault.How is that my fault, and why should I have to pay for that?
You should pay for it because you pay taxes. Why should you be exempt?
Sins of the father?
Why should you gain advantage for the suffering of your ancestors?
What law gives me an advantage solely because I am a white male?
MLK was toward the end of the movement, read up on your history a bit.
Yup....
Because MLK finally got results.....that is why it was the end of the movement
Blacks came back from WWI after serving their country expecting equal rights......all they got was a resurgence of the klan
They wanted cIvil rights in the 30s but were told...We are in a Depression we can’t do it now
They wanted civil rights in the 40s and were told can’t do it, we are at war
They came back from WWII after serving their country expecting equal treatment and were told.......get to the back of the bus
Finally in the 50s MLK said we are tired of waiting. Rosa Parks provided the spark
MLK got the credit for the results, and his martyrdom sealed his reputation.
He was a big part of it, but his legacy has gotten puffed up a bit as time has gone on, which always happens with martyrs.
His legacy was never puffed up. But you white racists have made an industry out of misquoting him.
All martyrs legacies get stretched.
And how does one misquote the I have a dream speech? He was looking for a color blind society, not a pity party.
Whites like you do it all the time.
Remember this part of the speech?
"Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
Or how about this?
"We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges."
Or this?
"There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. **We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For Whites Only."** We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."
Martin Luther King I Have a Dream Speech - American Rhetoric
Sounds like he was demanding racial justice and complete equality for blacks, not your white fake version that uses a convenient whine for colorblind when you are pressed to face the truth of your current racism, and he certainly was not looking or a mf-ing pity party.
Why should you gain an advantage by being a white male?Who said it was your fault? Its your ancestors fault.How is that my fault, and why should I have to pay for that?
You should pay for it because you pay taxes. Why should you be exempt?
Sins of the father?
Why should you gain advantage for the suffering of your ancestors?
What law gives me an advantage solely because I am a white male?
All of them.
Only someone illiterate would think I just described a color blind society. Do you even know what color blind means?He wasnt looking for a color blind society you idiot. He was looking for a society where people were not subjected to discrimination based on their race. Damn he even said it in english and you still didnt get it. You white people could fuck up the meaning of a wet dream.All martyrs legacies get stretched.
And how does one misquote the I have a dream speech? He was looking for a color blind society, not a pity party.
What made you think that someone that had continually said things like he was Black and proud or that the nation needed to do something special for Blacks wanted a color blind society?
You just described a color blind society and made fun of it in the same sentence.
A color blind society can acknowledge differences without using them as a criteria for anything.
Equality before the law doesn't mean everyone is a clone of everyone else.
Since whites like you have always used color as a criteria, why are you trying to describe something that has never existed here? Why are you trying tp demand others do what whites like you have never done?
Youre trying to deflect. Stop stalling and answer the question. Your claim was that MLK wanted a colorblind society. How can that be possible if he was distinctly pro Black and wanted special provisions made for Blacks?Favor isn't superiority. blindness doesn't mean ignorant of differences.
It's about color impacting how you treat a person. For example you hate white people, making you a racist fuck.
I don't hate you due to you being black, I hate you because you are a small minded racist asshole.
He wanted a society where people were treated equally regardless of color.
What pro black provisions was he looking for?
You dont know? If you dont know why are you claiming he wanted a color blind society? MLK was all for preferential treatment of Blacks in order to level the playing field.
"The closest analogy is the GI Bill of Rights. Negro rehabilitation in America would require approximately the same breadth of program—which would not place an undue burden on our economy. Just as was the case with the returning soldier, such a bill for the disadvantaged and impoverished could enable them to buy homes without cash, at lower and easier repayment terms. They could negotiate loans from banks to launch businesses. They could receive, as did ex-GIs, special points to place them ahead in competition for civil service jobs. Under certain circumstances of physical disability, medical care and long-term financial grants could be made available. And together with these rights, a favorable social climate could be created to encourage the preferential employment of the disadvantaged, as was the case for so many years with veterans. During those years, it might be noted, there was no appreciable resentment of the preferential treatment being given to the special group. America was only compensating her veterans for their time lost from school or from business."
-MLK
That's correcting a wrong, and I doubt it would have been proposed as open ended as it is now.
Still no superiority there.
White racism has been open ended and until that stops AA will be necessary.
Afirmative Action has changed significantly since i started working in the 70sHe wanted a society where people were treated equally regardless of color.
What pro black provisions was he looking for?
MLK strongly supported affirmative action to right past wrongs
did he support it going on until the end of time?
It has helped all American families
Except ones of the guys passed over for jobs, promotions and contracts because of it.
They are not passed over because of AA, they are passed over because the company is still practicing racial discrimination. Learn the difference and stop whining.
Rosa Parks was the central figure in a fraudulent, staged Civil Rights event.
