Stone? You had me up to that point. LOL, even the mention of that propagandist’s name causes me to hurl.
I know you didn’t mention him favorably..., just sayin’.
That’s why I referenced MKL’s probable like of the federal government being involved in stopping segregation. He may have been very happy about the Great Society programs. I don’t honestly remember the year he died, or the exact year they were implemented, 1965 I think on the later.
My take on Jessie Jackson is that I think Martin Luther King would have kicked his ass for what he was up to.
King may have bought on to the Great Society nonsense, but I do think the guy’s heart was in the right place, and he was lucid and aware of how his movement could be turned to the dark side.
I’m not the biggest fan of King. I do think he did some great things. I also think rioting resulted from some of his efforts, something I never like to see. So I do see him as a mixed bag. I’m not in favor of a National Holiday for him. I believe that at it’s core, that is racial in nature. Not only is it inappropriate to loft the titular head of one segment of our populace, it’s also not proper to cast forever in people’s minds that Whites are racists. And that to my way of thinking, is part of the message MLK Day imparts.
We should only loft people who are fundamentally a champion for all our citizens, not specific groups.
Now, if a non-holiday type of yearly remembrance of King were on tap, I would support it.
I still get a kick out of Stone/JFK. It has Johnson conspiring to knock off JFK so he can get in an endless war with Vietnam to make the helocopter defense companies rich. And all the different actors spitting our their overdramatic lines in a hurry.
Heck, but I get a kick out of Sicko too.
Sometimes it's fun to stick your head in and see what's floating around liberals heads.
Just saying, LOL
