It's no wonder that blacks are so messed up.

Martin Luther King was a positive role model for blacks. Blacks made great strides while he was alive. He was a great role model. He was a man of conscience. He did not believe that violence was the answer. Who do blacks have as a role model today? Jessie Jackson? Al Sharpton? Obama? There are a few black leaders that they could turn to. Clarence Thomas and Ben Carson, to name a few. Unfortunately, most blacks would call them traitors to the black race, or Uncle Tom's. The problems they suffer from...poverty, gang violence, drugs and single parent homes are problem that they created themselves. Yet many of them blame whitey. Isn't it about time you people quit your bellyaching and took responsibility for your own lives? No one can lift you out of the hole you're in. Only you can do that. Just saying.

MLK used to incite extremely destructive and violent riots, then scream "Police brutality!" when police showed up to stop said riots. I don't view him as a positive role model.

Infraction of political correctness!

Really? Do you have any credible evidence to support that? He did engage in civil disobedience, which was the correct thing to do, under the circumstances. But inciting riots? Give me a break.

Well DUH. I'm the most politically incorrect person you'll ever meet. And proud of it.

Minister Louis Farrakhan is the only positive black role model and leader for African American's today. ......

 

[mdk]

Farrakhan is a minister like Dr. Pepper is a doctor.

Farrakhan is a muslim POS. There is no comparison.

Even jackie kennedy said he was a phoney. The only reason he was embraced way back when was because he advocated non-violence.

It was mainly white liberals that were bamboozled by MLK.

I never said he was perfect. But he was against violence. And that is the reason he was so effective.

So who would you suggest is a positive role model and national leader for black people today besides Farrakhan? .......

Here's a black Republican they can vote for

A Conservative Christian Politician Left the Porn Tabs Open on Screenshots He Posted to Facebook

Go to minute 2:55 to see this "christian" conservative Republican black man say the bible is his favorite book but forgot to turn the porn screensaver off in his pic. LOL.

Yes, clearly what the black community in america needs is some white jackass choosing their role models for them. The same type of white jackass that hated King while he was alive and called him a commie enemy of america.

That "Civil Disobedience" was because he would incite the riots, but wasn't actually in them. A famous quote from MLK was "A riot is the language of the unheard". He also once made a speech about his support of riots: Here's what Martin Luther King Jr. really thought about urban riots

A Christian, by definition, is one who follows Christ. Now tell me. Where in the Bible does it say it's OK to look at porn? Idiot.

Yea but Malcomb X preached doing for themselves rather than trying to get along with whitey. Black people need to start their own grocery stores.

You absolutely no idea of what black Americans are like. They don't need 'role models'. They are mostly successful, law abiding people. YOur attitude was pitifully inaccruate back in the 1960s...nowadays it's totally idiotic.

And BTW - even before the 1960s black people were more than earning a substantial and decent standard of living. The problem is the rich white people wouldn't pay them fairly.

Why do you think that the Confederates wouldn't free the slaves - it's because slavery was the foundation of the economy of the southern states. In other words black people were doing all the work that created all the wealth, but white people were taking all the money.

You might be right. But perception is what's really important. Isn't it? And like I said. He was a very effective agent of positive change.

Effective at what? Whites can kill black folk with impunity with a well-gee-he-was-black-so-I-was-afraid "defense".

America hates that kind of change. Did then, does now.
