(ignore the dumb video and just listen)
Is there anything you won't pimp for your own twisted agenda, Ford? Dr. King? What could you possibly have in common with (or relate to) the late Dr.'s most endearing and passionate fight? How convenient that you found something that suits you to 'remember' him by.
That's insulting to his memory, his fight, his people.

WHAT??? :confused:
I have ALWAYS admired Dr. King. If you think I can't relate to his message or his mission because I'm a "cracker ass white boy", then maybe you need to listen to his speeches again, Switch. Especially the part where he says he dreams of a world where people will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.Originally posted by FORD
WHAT??? :confused:
As far as I'm concerned, those three speeches are just short of the Sermon on the Mount as some of the greatest words ever written, and frankly, I resent the fucking Hell out of anybody saying that I'm trying to "twist" them.
Into WHAT??
Agreed...MLK was a great American...but....Sermon on the Mount? Good taste in music.....just not buying your socialist agenda----That's all. Relax.......Aint no big thing!Originally posted by FORD

I have a problem with MLK in that he left Jesse "I'll shake you down" Jackson in charge of the looney-bin.

I endorseth Martin Luther King's message 100% now, just as I did when he delivered his speeches.
There is no such thing as "race" in My eyes, and if ye truly believeth in My teachings than ye will let go of such man made divisions as well.
Or in thy modern vernacular....

In fact, he and most of the band, lost there ass in German investments after "The Joshua Tree." And also a tour that was so enormously expensive to put on (ZooTV), they lost money on many shows and made only a small profit overall...
They've had to work hard to recoup...

Yep, Zoo (if I remember correctly) cost them about 1 million per show. The cost was due to the enormity of the stage and set that had to be hauled around along with the massive amount of labor to set it up.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Having any type of organization or group that is based on color is racism. So if it's to get any better, these have to go. Or is it the "Do as I say, not as I do" mentality?Originally posted by jhale667

I disagree. Your throwing out platitudes doesn't change the fact that they exist to combat racism, not continue it.Originally posted by sadaist

sadist doesn't understand what racism actually is. It isn't just merely defining someone by the color of their skin.

These organizations were founded simply because every other organization were white by default, and discriminated!

Your key words here "when" and "were", are both past tense. Sure, discrimination is still happening, but not nearly the magnitude you are speaking of. The only way to end discrimination is to end ALL discrimination.Originally posted by Nickdfresh

What complete bullshit! Theses organizations is a reminder that the black community still has a way to go in order to establish a stable socioeconomic class in this country.
Your points are pretty much arguments used by white supremacists in order to mask the justification of their dominant culture terrorist and hate groups, so they can pretend the dominant culture is "under attack and will be destroyed" or some shit like that...
Give me a fucking break dude, try taking a college course or two, and pull away the conservative "blaming the victim" mentality used as propaganda...
BTW, the NAACP has fought on the side of poor white people on numerous occasions.
