Very very short version: towards the end of his life he was becoming increasingly progressive in his politics, so if he had lived he might have ended up as a sad caricature of himself, the way most of his younger contemporaries (Jesse Jackson, John Lewis, Julian Bond, et. al.) have become sad caricatures of themselves.
The reason King in his heyday of the late 50s and early 60s was important was because he was the only person in the history of civil rights to be able to forge a wide coalition of the three main competing groups: those who follow Booker T. Washington (black conservatives, people today like Larry Elder, Herman Cain, and Ben Carson), those who follow W.E.B. DuBois (black liberals, basically all Democrats), and the combination of Maoists (Black Panthers, US) and Fascists (Nation of Islam). The moment he died, the coalition fell apart, because there was no one able to take his place.
MSM has spent the last 47 years convincing the American people in general, and the African-American community in particular, that the Bookerites do not exist, and when they do, they are Uncle Tom turncoats on their own race. A Republican being the first black President would have gone a long way to ending the fiction; having a Maoist follower of Bill Ayers and Valerie Jarrett as the first black President makes that essentially impossible for the next generation, which will ensure that racial politics will remain for at least the next generation.
He had a more convincing makeup job than she did.
Exactly.
If Bruce Jenner must (to be considered a good person) be acknowledged as a woman, on what basis would we reject Rachel Dolezal’s claim to be Black?
I look forward to the social justice warriors of Tumblr and Facebook explaining that.
Correct.
But she's not black. So as a pundit on FOX said, this behavior is "inappropriate."
Maybe a lighter shade of black would be more appropriate.
Why would a white person want to become a poor, oppressed black? Could it be too enjoy the benefits of hiring quotas and other kinds of special treatment?
The Left is boxed in on this one. It's fun to watch.
He also wore contacts to make himself look more authentic!
ROFLMAO!
Who’s going to be the first individual that will feel like a fish?
wow. i didn’t know any of that. What a tragedy black American are. It didn’t have to be. I read somewhere that at one time they had a LOWER incidence of out of wedlock babies than whites.
L Johnson started the self pity give me everything mindset.
What did shock me was that the American people could and would want and choose a muslim bastard like barrack Obama to rule them. I suppose that it shows how low we have sank as a Nation.
Bingo. And if her ruse is not emphatically denounced by the NAACP and black leaders, the doors to those hiring quotas and special treatment will be held ajar for ANYONE to claim them - merely by asserting that they are of the race, gender, or ethnicity who qualifies.
What rock has this person been living under? A more bizarre story than this can't be found?
But, on the other hand, the author is right: This IS representative of contemporary America.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Thank you! Very well stated.
NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Apparently, she has colored herself for years now, so she does qualify as a colored person.
Psychopaths have the upper hand anyway. Throw in Cultural Marxism and racial politics and preferences for the high yaller and the morons never had a chance.
How dare a privileged White oppressor lie and get to be head of the biggest oppressed group?
Lying is only ok if done by an oppressed victim.
Thank you! Very well stated.
LOl! Pictures worth thousands of words! Brilliant!
Excellent! I could feel the energy. It made me enjoy my morning coffee even more.
