How to confront systemic racism? Heed the call of Martin Luther King.

[IM2]

"What would King say?" is the question right wingers ask. King said to not judge on the color of skin but on the content of character is what white racists use as a hammer when blacks hold them accountable for continuing racism. But here in this sermon spoken 2 weeks after his "conent of character" he challenges WHITES "to respect the dignity and worth of all human personality.”

Maybe it's time for the whites on the right to change the content of their character.

How to confront systemic racism? Heed the call of Martin Luther King.

Eighteen days after the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, four young girls were killed in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. Days later, King delivered their eulogy, and demonstrated why America would have been lost without the civil rights movement.

If there were ever an excuse for retaliatory anger, it was the murder of these children. And you can tell King was feeling that emotion’s pull. This act, he said, was “one of the most vicious, heinous crimes ever perpetrated against humanity.” He then channeled the girls’ voices, speaking to a hypocritical, racist, complacent society: “They have something to say to every minister of the gospel who has remained silent behind the safe security of stained-glass windows. They have something to say to every politician who has fed his constituents the stale bread of hatred and the spoiled meat of racism. . . . They say to each of us, Black and White alike, that we must substitute courage for caution.”

This was probably expected. But King proceeded to make two points that would have left many uncomfortable.

First, he argued for a definition of justice larger than a correct legal outcome. “We must be concerned,” he said, “not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life and the philosophy which produced the murderers.”

Second, King held out hope that white-supremacist philosophy could be challenged and changed among Whites themselves: “We must not lose faith in our White brothers. Somehow we must believe that the most misguided among them can learn to respect the dignity and worth of all human personality.”

I thought of King’s message in light of the death of George Floyd and the conviction of his murderer. In the case of the Birmingham bombing, justice took decades to arrive, during which time the murderers grew old in freedom. In Floyd’s case, justice was swifter. But we are left confronting “the system, the way of life and the philosophy” that led to Floyd’s death.

White people in America tend to assume, at a deep level, that America’s economic, governmental and legal systems are roughly fair. This, after all, is how people such as me generally experience them. And this allows for facile, sometimes unconscious, judgments. Because American systems seem fair, it must be individuals’ fault when they are poor, powerless or imprisoned.

Math is racist

 

[$ecular#eckler]

White supremacy and systemic biases are no longer formulated into the social system. “Systemic biases,” are collateral dysfunction of the imperfect governing system that is in place guiding the society. Black people's encounters with racial prejudice are random, unpredictable, and an unfortunate product of social disorder that can only be rectified by reorganizing the government, which can only be accomplished by reordering the chartering system.

King also promoted looting, rioting, burning shit up and murder right stupid?

Let me say as I've always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. ... But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality, and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation's summers of riots are caused by our nation's winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. [Martin Luther King Jr., "The Other America"]

Black Lives Matter Protesters Were Overwhelmingly Peaceful, Our Research Finds

The Black Lives Matter uprisings were remarkably nonviolent. When there was violence, very often police or counterprotesters were reportedly directing it at the protesters.

Only 3.7% of the protests involved property damage or vandalism. Some portion of these involved neither police nor protesters, but people engaging in vandalism or looting alongside the protests.

In short, our data suggest that 96.3% of events involved no property damage or police injuries, and in 97.7% of events, no injuries were reported among participants, bystanders or police.

Change the content of their character? How will that help blacks?

MLK did some great work. He successfully achieved obtaining rights for Blacks that they otherwise would not have had.

But that was the 1960's. We now live in another century almost a century later with Civil Rights being the law for over half a century

What was life like back in 1960?

In 1960, the year before Obama was born, 22 percent of black children lived with single parents. In 1968, the number rose to 31.4 percent. By 2006, the 1960 percentage had more than doubled to 56 percent.

PolitiFact - Statistics don't lie in this case

In a Father's Day address at the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago, Sen. Barack Obama chose a less than celebratory top

www.politifact.com

Any idea what the number is today? Around 70% of all black homes are a single parent run home led by a woman.

How on earth will the character of whites do anything to fight the poverty that will inevitably come as a result of single family homes run by women?

The real issue is, what is driving single parent homes within the Black community? Many like myself suspect a large part of the problem is that the government is encouraging this by subsidizing single parent homes. After all, if they didn't subsidize single parent homes they simply could not exist. As it is, they are getting just enough money to exist and spread.

And who will a young man have as a father? Someone on the streets to teach them how to live a live of drugs and crime.

That's who. Then when the police come along to arrest them, it's whiteys character that is at fault.

Really? White skinned people need to be carful to not say what black people say to each other, all the time. The word suddenly becomes bad when a light skinned person says the word. You know what that word is. Black people become embolden to do anything, making people who are against what they do, to be the person who is bad. It the same kind of thing that Muslims do, saying whoever is either racist, or against freedom of religon or are against diversity. All are lies. We are tyhe human race. That destroys the diversity thing, and racism thing. Jamies 1:26 - 27 destroys the freedom of religon thing.

and like i asked......what about the whites on the left?

Money lessens the human mind's ability, to love god's image. Money made people to be less than another person. Money is the root of all evil. Killing becomes easy when money is loved. God's law is not legal, and illegal. Stop to think about it. No one is looking at final judgment. Final judgments is final. The church did not teach final judgment. People think: I will be in God's kingdom, or Satan's kingdom. People end up thinking they can do anything, having no real consequence. It is eternal life, or eternal death, seeing what you could have had, never able to obtain it. We need to pay attention to how we are. You never know when time and chance will happen. We need to be fair with each other.

Whites call each other polacks, wops, guineas, micks, limey's and degos. We don't look for reason to ask why we can't say those things nor do we endlessly whine about whites using those terms on one another.

You need to quit using God while making Satans argument.

Second, King held out hope that white-supremacist philosophy could be challenged and changed among Whites themselves: “We must not lose faith in our White brothers. Somehow we must believe that the most misguided among them can learn to respect the dignity and worth of all human personality.”

I thought of King’s message in light of the death of George Floyd and the conviction of his murderer. In the case of the Birmingham bombing, justice took decades to arrive, during which time the murderers grew old in freedom. In Floyd’s case, justice was swifter. But we are left confronting “the system, the way of life and the philosophy” that led to Floyd’s death.

White people in America tend to assume, at a deep level, that America’s economic, governmental and legal systems are roughly fair. This, after all, is how people such as me generally experience them. And this allows for facile, sometimes unconscious, judgments. Because American systems seem fair, it must be individuals’ fault when they are poor, powerless or imprisoned.

I wonder of MLK would have voted for the guy who said he didn't want his kids to grow up in a "racial jungle" with black people, the way you did. I'm guessing probably not.

MLK would not have voted for the man who was such a racist that even the Nixon DOJ had to bust him. MLK would not have voted for the man who called for the death sentence for 5 innocent kids and still refuses to admit to their innocence long after it has been proven. MLK would not have voted for the birther. MLK would not have voted for the man who stood in front of white people in 2020 telling them how blacks were getting ready to invade the suburbs and Corey Booker would be in charge of it.

Like you did.

Whites call each other polacks, wops, guineas, micks, limey's and degos. We don't look for reason to ask why we can't say those things nor do we endlessly whine about whites using those terms on one another.

You need to quit using God while making Satans argument.

so why the 3 derogatory terms for Italians?.....what have you got against them now?....

I'm 25% Sicilian! I called him out several times in his thread white culture thread for that he kept saying he wasn't and how I'm the racist I'm like what? It's nice you see others see his bigotry too!

"What would King say?" is the question right wingers ask. King said to not judge on the color of skin but on the content of character is what white racists use as a hammer when blacks hold them accountable for continuing racism. But here in this sermon spoken 2 weeks after his "conent of character" he challenges WHITES "to respect the dignity and worth of all human personality.”

Maybe it's time for the whites on the right to change the content of their character.

How to confront systemic racism? Heed the call of Martin Luther King.

Eighteen days after the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, four young girls were killed in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. Days later, King delivered their eulogy, and demonstrated why America would have been lost without the civil rights movement.

If there were ever an excuse for retaliatory anger, it was the murder of these children. And you can tell King was feeling that emotion’s pull. This act, he said, was “one of the most vicious, heinous crimes ever perpetrated against humanity.” He then channeled the girls’ voices, speaking to a hypocritical, racist, complacent society: “They have something to say to every minister of the gospel who has remained silent behind the safe security of stained-glass windows. They have something to say to every politician who has fed his constituents the stale bread of hatred and the spoiled meat of racism. . . . They say to each of us, Black and White alike, that we must substitute courage for caution.”

This was probably expected. But King proceeded to make two points that would have left many uncomfortable.

First, he argued for a definition of justice larger than a correct legal outcome. “We must be concerned,” he said, “not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life and the philosophy which produced the murderers.”

The System is more beneficial to blacks than to whites. You guys get everything thanks to affirmative action solely on your skin color! Your black superman, black Captain America, black Spiderman, and black 007 you all got that because of how you look, not what you can do Connery, Reeve, Evans, and Maguire all earned it. And they were the best person for the job .They beat out people blacks have it so easy in 2021. they take them off the street and say your 007, your Kal-el. Your people have it easier than mine.
