Its always funny when racists quote MLK and they obviously dont understand that MLK detested them and everything they stand for.Don't at all, but I certainly recognize one with a closed mind on the subject, why bother.
I see, so "doesn't agree with me" = "closed mind"....lol...ironic
What I see in this post of yours my myopic friend:
"Most people are intelligent enough to know that systemic/wide spread white on black racism is all but dead.
Having said that, a renewal of it is certainly increasing. Divisions between the races is escalating and strengthening. Propelled greatly by this President, who almost immediately showed his ass and bias.
What white people are tired of is the constant accusations on them and the victimization attitude of blacks."
is the same sort of backlash thinking racist whites have always come back with anytime in american history anyone has said anything about racism existing in american society. So yes, I really don't think there's much room for any conversation at all around this topic. You just want people to shut up, go away, and you never want to hear of this again. And you clearly don't know a lot of black folk or have any idea what black friends (since you obviously don't have any that you've discussed this with at length) would say in response to this line of thinking. Maybe you should go find some black folk to have this discussion with face to face. I'ts a bit different than this nameless faceless bomb dropping chatboard biz.
Nope, wrong again. I have always been interested in racism, and have 100's of post on the subject.
I completely reject the notion that all white people are inherently racist, and all black people are inherently subjected to it - and thus everything that is wrong in their lives is due to racism. Bullshit. As the great Martin Luther King so succinctly put it -
"
I come here tonight and plead with you. Believe in yourself and believe that you are somebody. I said to a grop last night, — Nobody else can do this for us. No document can do this for us. No Lincolnian emancipation proclamation can do this for us. No Johnsonian civil rights bill can do this for us.
If the Negro is to be free, he must move down into the inner resources of his own soul and sign with a pen and ink of self-assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation."
No disagreement, and I assume you also agree with King's understanding that he was dealing with a society based and founded upon white supremacy, kudos.
Their ignorance is astounding , I know two people in the movement now who had marched with Dr king and continue to fight today against the forces of regression. The racist clowns who attack him even today know nothing about him or what he stood for,He was murdered while in Memphis while defending strikers , They may have murdered Dr King but they cannot kill his ideas
thankfully the bitter old rightwing whites are dying off
