How did he "make up for it"???
He successfully fought the good fight not just for us black folks,but for american society as a whole. His personal failings could never take that away.
Regardless if I agree or disagree with every other thing he stood for, his brave campaign for civil rights and Americans seeing each other as Americans and judging on the character and not skin was and continues to be a righteous cause.
That's how, for me.
DO you agree with his call for reparations and racial quotas to bring about racial equality?
No I don't agree with reparations, though I think men from his era and before him had more of a right to call for it or propose it than these jackass hustlers sewing hatred and trying to turn back the clock for profit and publicity ever had. As far as racial quotas, I didn't live back then. But I do not have a hard time believing it was or may have been needed at that point in history, especially in urban centers and the South. However today it's an insult to me, my fellow countrymen of black backgrounds, my fellow countrymen of white background, and the rest of my fellow Americans. It's gone beyond quotas to reverse discrimination. The only people who argue this isn't so are quite frankly either stupid, uninformed, and span from there to the extreme of vengeful wack jobs who are just as bad as these moronic white supremacists who flood the race boards here with garbage about their fellow Americans because of the color of their skin.
I know I'm talking to a wall, but I have faith it is not in vain and that wall will one day be cracked. And God willing, Crumble.
