Here are some famous sayings from MLK and my interpretation of their meaning/status today. What do you think about race relations and MLK's dreams?
I see race relations at an all time LOW and I think MLK’s hopes and dreams have not been realized. I think we have taken giant steps backwards from his wise words and that government, in an attempt to do good, has done the exact opposite. We have more militant victims and angry people today than ever before.
1. “The time is always right to do what is right."
The time is right to do what is politically expedient to pander to different groups using government power and tax dollars. We have been trying to do right via affirmative action, set-asides, and special programs for protected classes, a deluxe safety hammock, etc. How has that all worked out?
2. "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' "
What are you doing for yourself? We have generations of new "victims" who are impatiently waiting for their government handouts.
3. "Mankind must put and end to war or war will put an end to mankind."
Mankind is hard to define when some of the alleged elements of mankind are cutting off heads, burning, tossing off buildings fellow members of mankind. War is doing a brisk business in most of the ghettos of AmeriKa!
4. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
Darkness and hate have become a cottage industry for MLK’s peeps.
5. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
The only injustice that counts is one against “protected classes.”
6. "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend."
Tax dollars, military aid, bribes and sanctions seem to keep enemies at a distance. We have no friends… only interested parties in feasting off the great satin. The government has tried the same with inner cities by investing trillions in poverty. Gratitude and friends are hard to come by there!
7. "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
Our profits begin when we cry, complain and bring lawsuits about all things irrelevant… like rewarding black families millions for the shooting of their criminal children by police.
8. "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
Nobody gets rich and powerful with love.
9. "We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right."
All we have is time on our hands. Many in the inner city have all the time in the world to think of new ways to make money by not working and to make others feel their “pain” of victim hood.
10. "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Faith is profitable.
11. "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."
Keep voting for Democrats for that infinite hope and change.
12. "What is wrong in the world today is that the nations of the world are engaged in a bitter, colossal contest for supremacy."
What else is new?
13. "Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a constant attitude."
Say what?
14. "We must all learn to live together as brothers -- or we will all perish together as fools."
Many are learning to live together as brothers in prison. Others are perishing
on the streets as fools. Some have found the answer in Islam.
15. "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
Amen. Many today stand in jail, on the way there, flunking out of school, impregnating their GFs to replicate the cycle of challenge and controversy.
16. "A riot is the language of the unheard."
A riot is the path to those big screen TVs and electronic devices.
17. "I have a dream that one day right there in Alabama little black boys and little black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."
The dream is silenced by the liberal media, race pimps, and now the Democratic Party. All have found it profitable to burry any good that has come about between the races… and there is lots of good.
18. "We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream."
The DOJ is the racial waterfall that is now on task to destroy the police and their sense of duty to serve and protect minority communities. The trickle that was a few bad police has turned into a "perceived" ocean thanks to people like Hillary proclaiming that the police are racist. The police have not changed... if anything they have gotten better at their jobs and even more aware of their circumstances and role in dealing with race relations.
19. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
Bingo. We see it in Obama being elected twice. We may see it again if a lying hag or socialist gets elected again!
20. "If a man hasn't discovered something he will die for, he isn't fit to live."
Many in the hood, who are arguably unfit to live, have found much to die for and they are doing an excellent job dying for nothing.
21. "The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people."
The oppression and cruelty towards blacks (as in MLK’s days) is gone but those in power can’t rejoice in that. Instead, they make a career at finding oppression and cruelty, which by the way, is not limited to people of color. Racism will always be with us as long as it is profitable!
