"At least he doesn't have to look at what his so-called freinds have done to his movement and his good name."

Good name?

Like "Communist sympathizer", "plagiarist", that sort of thing?

I don't pretend to be an expert on MLK. He may have changed course to a much more radical path later in his short life. Me being a 40 y/o white guy it may be tough to imagine walking in his shoes. But I can imagine the frustration with his own people trying to get them to see his vision as to how things could be. I can imagine his frustration with the whites that sought to exploit his leadership and political power that he had at his fingertips.

I have read and reread his I have a dream speech and see nothing that a conservative would not admire in his words or vision.

I know that some whites have been horribly racist in the past. I know that some whites are still racist today. I know that many blacks are racist today.

I try very hard to not paint entire classes of people based on what I read, what I hear and what I see.

Just imagine if the Democrats lost the use of their race card. The only way we can cancel that race card is if we have something to offer minorities. Not handouts, but Republicans that can stand up and tell it like it is. "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, Teach a man to fish and he eats for life" We want to teach minorities how to fish. That is true compassion and not enough Republicans have the balls to stand up and say it to minorities.
