It's no wonder that blacks are so messed up.

MLK used to incite extremely destructive and violent riots, then scream "Police brutality!" when police showed up to stop said riots. I don't view him as a positive role model.

Really? Do you have any credible evidence to support that? He did engage in civil disobedience, which was the correct thing to do, under the circumstances. But inciting riots? Give me a break.

That "Civil Disobedience" was because he would incite the riots, but wasn't actually in them. A famous quote from MLK was "A riot is the language of the unheard". He also once made a speech about his support of riots: Here's what Martin Luther King Jr. really thought about urban riots

You might be right. But perception is what's really important. Isn't it? And like I said. He was a very effective agent of positive change.

I never claimed he didn't help garner support for the radical Republicans that eventually helped give black people equal rights, only that he's not a positive role model. He did help change the US for the better.

MLK: A riot is the language of the unheard

 

[Lutroo]

Martin Luther King was a positive role model for blacks. Blacks made great strides while he was alive. He was a great role model. He was a man of conscience. He did not believe that violence was the answer. Who do blacks have as a role model today? Jessie Jackson? Al Sharpton? Obama? There are a few black leaders that they could turn to. Clarence Thomas and Ben Carson, to name a few. Unfortunately, most blacks would call them traitors to the black race, or Uncle Tom's. The problems they suffer from...poverty, gang violence, drugs and single parent homes are problem that they created themselves. Yet many of them blame ******. Isn't it about time you people quit your bellyaching and took responsibility for your own lives? No one can lift you out of the hole you're in. Only you can do that. Just saying.

You absolutely no idea of what black Americans are like. They don't need 'role models'. They are mostly successful, law abiding people. YOur attitude was pitifully inaccruate back in the 1960s...nowadays it's totally idiotic.

And BTW - even before the 1960s black people were more than earning a substantial and decent standard of living. The problem is the rich white people wouldn't pay them fairly.

Why do you think that the Confederates wouldn't free the slaves - it's because slavery was the foundation of the economy of the southern states. In other words black people were doing all the work that created all the wealth, but white people were taking all the money.

Why are you bringing up ancient history? Blacks have the same opportunities as everyone else. The fact that they are living in ghetto's is because they refuse to take responsibility for themselves. Our government has given them a lot of "help", but it has only fostered dependency on the government. Millions of them are still in gangs. Still living in single parent homes because their daddies refuse to take care of them...etc. I would say that institutional racism is a thing of the past, but the democrats refuse to let it die. They got all them nigga's on the plantation, for sure.

Even jackie kennedy said he was a phoney. The only reason he was embraced way back when was because he advocated non-violence.

It was mainly white liberals that were bamboozled by MLK.

I never said he was perfect. But he was against violence. And that is the reason he was so effective.

Yea but Malcomb X preached doing for themselves rather than trying to get along with ******. Black people need to start their own grocery stores.

how about restaurants?...

MLK: A riot is the language of the unheard

I'm no racist, and calling me one for not considering MLK a role model makes no sense. While calling anyone who criticizes a black man racist is typical of Liberals, you should at least only do so when you at least have a credible excuse. I support the results of his 'protests', I do not support his methods. His riots destroyed the property of others, and destroyed police credibility.

I was in no danger at all last evening. I was at my home minding my own business and not engaged in any protests over two killings miles away from my home. Dallas Texas had absolutely nothing to do with those killings in Louisiana and Minnesota. Neither did New York or any other city that saw a bunch of folks taking to the streets and showing their asses.

Sounds like you can't justify his inciting of riots, so you just call me a racist. You can't even really call me a racist, for all you know, I could be black. Being black doesn't mean you condone the actions of everyone who happens to be the same color. As I explained, despite his methods, I do support the eventual results that he assisted with.

I don't really admire any human being in general.

His assassination 'incited' riots.

Martin Luther King was a positive role model for blacks. Blacks made great strides while he was alive. He was a great role model.

Thats why he was monitored by the FBI, called a communists and regularly had his life threatened until he was assainated because he was a positive role model and whites hated that
