King David had his glaring flaws too yet God used him. MLK was no angel but his message of non-violence and character taking precedence over skin color were instructional themes to live by. My beef is with those who celebrate him but don’t live by the themes he preached.

Well said. Thanks.

King David was a friggin' murderer, but God still forgave and used him as an instrument for good...

Two of my white buds in the KC area were beaten unconscious by African gangs for no reason other than their light skin. The event was another looting opportunity for the Africans—not much has changed with their behavior.

You can always be relied upon to seize any opportunity to negatively broad-brush Blacks, as you did in the above post.

The fact is that the overwhelming majority of Blacks "behave" just fine...

Thanks for the Greaseman mention. I never heard of the guy but after checking him out I’ve confirmed how funny he is!

Easy to do when you look at the crime stats and their voting records. Let’s take Black on white crime as an example: What about interracial crime, white-on-black attacks and the reverse?
After researching the FBI numbers for “Suicide of a Superpower,” this writer concluded: “An analysis of ‘single offender victimization figures’ from the FBI for 2007 finds blacks committed 433,934 crimes against whites, eight times the 55,685 whites committed against blacks. Interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white — with 14,000 assaults on white women by African Americans in 2007. Not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female was found in the FBI study.”
Though blacks are outnumbered 5-to-1 in the population by whites, they commit eight times as many crimes against whites as the reverse. By those 2007 numbers, a black male was 40 times as likely to assault a white person as the reverse.

It's wrong no matter how "easy" it is...

So you say. If you want to swallow the BS knock yourself out and give them the power they demand. I’m not buying it and I am still free to observe what is going on here and elsewhere. Like it or not, behavior has a genetic component. This principle applies across species lines.

Orly? They've been able to definitively separate all environmental factors from this pet theory of yours? How quaint.

But even if it were absoluttely true, that doesn't justify failing to treat people as individuals, and judging them by the content of their characternot the color of their skin.

Sorry to see that you're so preoccupied by racial identity—to the point where it apparently clouds your ability to judge people as individuals. Now where have we seen that before?

One day you might make a good Leftist—the authoritarian, intolerant kind...

There's a happy medium between the two extremes...

A federal judge decided back in the 1970’s to keep it secret until 2027.

Donald J. Trump helped to nudge things a bit by releasing an FBI report on MLK as part of the release of JFK Assassination material earlier this year.

Martin Luther King worked against the political establishment.

The politicians like to talk about his non-violence to distract from the fact that he was a thorn in their side.

What they felt they had to do to deal with him is a mystery clouded by all the FBI files on MLK hidden.

Trump actually got one FBI report on King out this year with all the JFK files released.

50 years later and negroes are still using riots as a looting opportunity. Why else do they do this in virtually every city where they reach critical mass besides the loot they steal? Race riots are demonstrations of racial power, not expressions of hopelessness. In the United States, before 1963, almost all race riots involving white people and black people somehow were white-led, and most of those were sparked by black violent crime and gross misbehavior. After 1963, they have been mostly black-led, and most of those were sparked by some questionable law enforcement action against black civilians. “If you want to learn who rules over you, simply ask who you are not allowed to criticize.”
Voltaire

See? This is why you're so full of sh-t.

"They" don't "do this". A tiny, minuscule fraction of the overall population "do this". But with your broad brush, there's no need to make that distinction, is there? How convenient, and how utterly shameful. It's not "Negroes"—It's a small number if f-cking ignorant "Negroes". Except with you and your broad brush.

No "content of their character" for you, is it? Even though the content of their character is quite fine for the vast majority of them. Nope. It's "the color of their skin" with you.

Congratulations for being so nuanced. And yet you probably resent some Blacks for erroneously broad-brushing Whites in the very same way!

A pox on both your houses.

I've seen the content of your character with respect to race-related posts for several years now...

No one, no facts, or observations will ever change the opinion shaped by black athletes, the Al Sharptons on TV, or Hollywood.

There’s a really simple test to determine this:

Would you, I, or anyone else who plagiarized his dissertation be awarded..or allowed to keep their doctorate and NOT be expelled?

If the answer is no, then he didn’t earn a doctorate. Furthermore, the organization that accredits Boston College needs to have the entire college’s accreditation revoked. Period.
