Youre evading the point I was making. Let me help you out.You must have missed my earlier post. I would suggest you read the mans words as spoken from his own mouth.If a cow had nuts it would be a bull.If MLK was asked that in 2015 would he like for employers and schools to still use a race based bias to determine who they accept? I bet he'd say...he hopes that practice would've ended by then.
You probably lose a lot of bets. The point was you claimed MLK was not supportive of the concept of AA. He was despite your warped perception of what he was about.
MLK was for voting rights and their rights to use the same public facilities as everybody else not for AA. That was Jessie Jackson's, after MLK was murdered.
The term "affirmative action" did not come into currency until after King's death and it was Jackson who initiated it along with the NAACP.
MLK's "Operation Breadbasket" was different than AA.
Operation Breadbasket 1962-1972
His way worked.
AA does the oppistie where it is forced.
"Whenever the issue of compensatory treatment for the Negro is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree; but he should ask nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but it is not realistic."-MLK
I made the point exactly.
MLK's way worked, he did not even know about AA because it happened after his death and I think that he would have been against it.
AA is exactly what he was against, government force.
