Rev Sharpton and the arc of movements

The other day, in passing, he made a critical point. The movement that started under King continues. This is a lifelong movement, with victories and defeats.

So I had to think to one comment from a young occupier..."been three months, nothing has changed." This is one of the divides between the young or new activists and the old salts. Social justice movements are a life long commitment. But given how neatly, insert tv program here, is solved in half an hour, can't blame that young buck. The myth is we can solve all troubles this fast. Life is not a screen play.

As the spring comes, and six months, I expect this realization to finally start to register.

Also the authorities will increase the pressure.

Thanks Rev, I knew that, but you gave very succinct and moving words to it, after your mother passed.

If by karmic coincidence you should read this, thank you.

1. 'lifelong commitment'

. . . generational.

You got it, nadin.

Mole.

2. I get to report on them

When I feel up to it. As in healthy enough...but the discussions on how fast change comes has been at times maddening.

The above's the whole campfire; nadin and a mole.

Will she be taken to task by the DUmmies for using what the DUmmies used to call a racist term?

I have feeling that Al "Resist we Much" Sharpton is going to be in civil court again. Tawana Brawley redux.

The movement that started under King continues.

The movement started under some ambiguous "King" may be continuing, but the movement started under Dr. Martin Luther King is being perverted. As is his dream. Let's look at some things...

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.

Is it justice when a white man kills a black man and it is called a hate crime while if the races are reversed it is just a crime?

In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.

We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.

Hasn't it degenerated in physical violence when two black teens set a white kid on fire saying "you deserve it whitey"? Is that a high plane of dignity?

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

If we are going to say all men are created equal don't we have to do away with things like affirmative action as affirmative action is saying that you can't get there by yourself? If we are to stay true to Dr. King's movement and dream shouldn't things like employment and college entrance be determined by merit instead of skin color?

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Is the dream continuing when you do as Dr. King asks and judge someone by the content of their character (see the DUmp's lord and saviour 0) and are immediately labeled racist?
And is the dream continuing when any black who through his or her own determination decides to become a Republican is labeled an Uncle Tom (and worse) by demonrats?


Dr. King started a great movement and had a noble dream. A dream well worth pursuing. It is a dream and movement that people who claim to respect him, like DUmp members and other libs, are turning into a farce and nightmare.

It's a true shame that the good Dr. King is not available to see how his message has been so distorted and hijacked.
I doubt he would be pleased.

Well if you look at the crime, welfare rolls, prison population, etc., etc. I'd say that the black race has been judged on the content of their character and found to be sadly lacking. Sure makes it hard on the ones that have good character.

One of King's close relatives is a frequent guest of Sean Hannity, Dr. Alveda King. She carries the King torch quite conscientiously.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

But it is all whitey's fault for victimizing them in the past.  (Not the libs fault who bribe them to stay on the  DNC plantation)

They don't just bribe them...they try to humiliate them as well when they leave the DNC Plantation.

Not just humiliate them, but destroy them publicly.

Yes, the politics of personal destruction the Clintons hated when they claimed it was being used against them.
