MLK Letter from Birmingham Jail (not how you think it'd be...listen in 50 mins or so)
YouTube ^ | April 16, 1963 | MLK

Posted on 01/18/2021 6:14:45 AM PST by CincyRichieRich

Listen in: When listening, ask a few questions to yourself we can discuss:

1. What are differences and similarities between 1963 and today? e.g., BLM and Antifa vs real, genuine need for change, violence vs non-violence. 2. If you are white, what role to you have? If you are mixed race, any differences? If you are black, what is your role? E.g., uniter or divider, how? 3. If you are a Jesus follower, what would the Holy Spirit tell you your role is?


TOPICS: Chit/Chat; History; Miscellaneous; Society
KEYWORDS: jesus; mlk
Great discussion. And, if you post a flippant, snide or sarcastic post...I will ignore it, so if this doesn't interest you, be mature and move on and ignore this thread. And, yes, I do know our nation hangs in the balance and I do assume and trust PDJT will not let Biden become president...very super week in the history of the republic.

Martin Luther King: “A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law of the LORD God.” An unjust law is a “code that is out of harmony with the moral law.” Quotes St. Thomas Aquinas: “An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.” Quoting Aquinas: “Any law that uplifts human personality is just; any law that degrades human personality is unjust.”

HEAR THAT MASKERS?

King’s successors have rejected everything he fought for and embraced everything he opposed.

Good point; I’d take it a step further that they haven’t ever read the letter...they just invoke his name and misrepresent his premises.
