In a desperate bid to atone for his previous words and deeds that many are now criticizing as racist, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden asserted that the murder of George Floyd has had a bigger impact on the world than the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King. King ignored the importance of race. He preached that character was more important than skin color. As events subsequent to his death have shown, he was wrong. Putting character ahead of color is white thinking. Nothing is more important than skin color. Fortunately, the murder of Floyd has brought this truth to light.
The murder of Floyd has inspired an uprising far bigger than what happened after King was killed, Biden pointed out. You know why? King was a follower of Ghandis insistence on peaceful protest. That had to have made many of his followers refrain from violence. Floyd also had the good luck to be killed by a cop in full view of a crowd that videoed the event. King was shot from ambush by a nobody that cops later tracked down and arrested. As we can see from the events of the last two weeks, vastly more property has been redistributed or destroyed than in 1968. This year, mayors all over the country have ordered police not to interfere with this. In 1968, mayors were calling for law and order. So, while Floyd was not as learned or eloquent as King, his role will turn out to be much more important. I think he will be the Horst Wessel of the new America we progressives are building.
In related news, former President Barack Obama praised the George Floyd protests, saying the talent, and the voice, the sophistication that these young people are displaying makes me feel optimistic about the future. Critics point to property damage to try to discredit the protestersa bunch of statues were torn down, billions of dollars worth of merchandise was taken, and some buildings were burned. But isnt this a small price to pay if the destination is social justice? All the statues were of dead white men. All the merchandise was redistributed. And the burned buildings were all cogs in the capitalist machine. From all the favorable reactions we see around the country from political leaders, the media, celebrities, and corporate executives, Id say the transformation I promised has been boosted into hyperdrive.

Biden you are a liar, pandering for votes.
MLK was a peaceful man of God who led our people via civil disobedience and teaching and love for one another.
Floyd was a criminal, a thug, with no good wishes for anyone except himself.
Floyd was murdered and that was wrong and never should have happened but Floyd was not a leader or proponent of equality and peaceful coexistence.
MLK is one of our national heroes.
Floyd was just a murder victim that indicates that we have not yet gained that equality and equal respect.

Methinks there WILL be a Revolution if this senile creep is every president. It just wont be the one the Leftists want.

Also, as I recall, the media wasn’t urging the rioter on back then.
I know this is satire, but the truth is, Martin Luther King doesn’t have any destructive riots named after him. Floyd does. These riots will forever be called the George Floyd riots, not the Derek Chauvin riots. The left is so stupid.
MLK was a flawed man like all of us, but his message was and will remain critical to our nations history and I believe it was a divinely inspired message. A sober society would compare his words then to those of Al Sharpton this week. Reverend Al, as usual, was all about himself. MLK spoke about a dream for his people. A dream for all people.
MLK was a Republican. The party that fought for equality for all. He remains one of the most influential Republicans in American history even though 9 out of 10 Americans do not know this because it is not taught in schools.
What would MLK think today?
I believe he would lambast today’s black leaders (appointed by a democrat media) much as Jesus stormed the temple overthrowing the tables of the money-changers and rebuking them. I also think he would call out abortion (the holy grail of democrat politics), not racism, as the biggest threat and sin against black Americans.
Sharpton is a democrat. The party that promises to fight every 4 years for black Americans and does nothing.
I have often said it would be incredibly powerful to see the contrast between then and today in a movie format and let the viewer decide.
