As America enters a pivotal election year...Martin Luther King, Jr. Day offers us a moment to stop and reflect on where we have come and how far we have strayed from our foundational values.
January 15, 2024, marks the 95th anniversary of the birth of my uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr....
...today, in 2024, Americans have seen the opposite of this dream come to life. Violent protestors have rioted and looted our cities and small businesses, which flies in the face of my uncle’s commitment to nonviolent protest...
My uncle...followed this sentiment...: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
This strikes me as eerily similar to the debate we are having on abortion in America today. It also leads me to ask our country the following question: “How can the dream survive if we murder the children?”
...For far too long, our society has accepted the lie being pushed by the government, media, and education system that abortion is a proper remedy for women’s health issues, financial struggles, relationship woes, and even racial justice. But the reality is that the answer to these things is not allowing us to kill our children. Instead, the answer is in seeing God with our hearts. Therein lies the source of the “possible dream.”

Excerpt: So that the orthodox view of the divinity of Christ is in my mind quite readily denied. The true significance of the divinity of Christ lies in the fact that his achievement is prophetic and promissory for every other true son of man who is willing to submit his will to the will and spirit og God. Christ was to be only the prototype of one among many brothers.
And a nice lady
It’s too bad MLK’s great speech didn’t eradicate the race-baiting industry. Happily, we can celebrate Alveda King’s work instead.
For the same reason that Booker T. Washington pointed out over a hundred years ago:
After this I am even more convinced Dr. King is a "fellow traveler" of Pope Francis and would have turned out just like his peers (i.e Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc) if he wasn't assassinated.
As far as I’m concerned, if he’d lived a full life, he’d have been another Sharpton.
Seems Booker T. Washington was a very smart man
Appears BTW was born April 5, 1856, though (58 at time of his passing)
Yep, one of my biggest disappointments with America post slavery. The people that do not want to move on and instead profit in some way either by $$ or politically, truly shameful. Not to mention the media that collaborates.
MLK is the most inflated figure in U.S. history. Well, besides Chris Christie. 😂
Happy bday in hell!
That’s where all the beeyatches are that you banged behind your Wife’s back!
