The Most Important Thing Biden has done for Blacks.

[Man With A Plan]

Martin Luther King hoped for the end of white racism. That's what he was taking about when he said the only sentence you remember him saying. King woud not be embarrassed by anything I have done.

Where do we go from here? First, we must massively assert our dignity and worth. We must stand up amid a system that still oppresses us and develop an unassailable and majestic sense of values. We must no longer be ashamed of being black. The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy.

Even semantics have conspired to make that which is black seem ugly and degrading. In Roget’s Thesaurus there are some 120 synonyms for blackness and at least sixty of them are offensive, such words as blot, soot, grim, devil, and foul. And there are some 134 synonyms for whiteness and all are favorable, expressed in such words as purity, cleanliness, chastity, and innocence. A white lie is better than a black lie. The most degenerate member of a family is the “black sheep.” Ossie Davis has suggested that maybe the English language should be reconstructed so that teachers will not be forced to teach the Negro child sixty ways to despise himself, and thereby perpetuate his false sense of inferiority, and the white child 134 ways to adore himself, and thereby perpetuate his false sense of superiority. The tendency to ignore the Negro’s contribution to American life and strip him of his personhood is as old as the earliest history books and as contemporary as the morning’s newspaper.

To offset this cultural homicide, the Negro must rise up with an affirmation of his own Olympian manhood. Any movement for the Negro’s freedom that overlooks this necessity is only waiting to be buried. As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free. Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery. No Lincolnian Emancipation Proclamation, no Johnsonian civil rights bill can totally bring this kind of freedom. The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation. And with a spirit straining toward true self-esteem, the Negro must boldly throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and say to himself and to the world, “I am somebody. I am a person. I am a man with dignity and honor. I have a rich and noble history, however painful and exploited that history has been. Yes, I was a slave through my foreparents, and now I’m not ashamed of that. I’m ashamed of the people who were so sinful to make me a slave.” Yes, yes, we must stand up and say, “I’m black, but I’m black and beautiful.” This, this self-affirmation is the black man’s need, made compelling by the white man’s crimes against him.

Learn that King spoke more than one sentence and that the sentence he spoke doesn't mean what you want to make it mean.

Nowhere in that speech did King declare that blacks needed a hand out to overcome adversity...in fact he declared that "no Johnsonian civil rights bill can totally bring this kind of freedom"! I think Reverend King would be ashamed of the way you beg for reparations, IM2. How you blame "white racism" for the shortcomings of blacks! I think he'd look at thug culture and race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and cringe at all of it.

I am sick and tired of white mfs like you who descend from people given every handout the government has ever created while excluding us, taking about blacks wanting handouts. You don't know SHIT about Dr King. Keep Dr. Kings name out of your mouth until you study who he really was and what he really stood for. Your punk ass talks about thug culture while trying to get me to vote for a motherfucking convict to be president of this country. You talk abut race hustlers when your party platform is the race hustle and your leader is the Apex race hustler of all time. Whites invented race hustling, so don't say shit to me about race hustling ever again.

"Few people consider the fact that in addition to being enslaved for two centuries, the Negro was during all those years robbed of the wages of his toil. No amount of gold could provide an adequate compensation for the exploitation and humiliation of the Negro in America down through the centuries. Not all the wealth of this affluent society could meet the bill. Yet, a price can be placed on unpaid wages. The ancient common law has always provided a remedy for the appropriation of the labor of one human being by another. This law should be made to apply for American Negroes. The payment should be in the form of a massive program by the Government of special compensatory measures which could be regarded as a settlement in accordance with the accepted practice of common law. Such measures would certainly be less expensive than any computation based on two centuries of unpaid wages and accumulated interest.”

"It is my great feeling that a massive program must be developed by the federal government to bring new hope into being. Among the many vital jobs to be done, the Nation must not only radically readjust its attitude toward the Negro and the compelling present, but must incorporate in its planning some compensatory consideration for the handicaps he has inherited from the past. It is impossible to create a formula for the future which does not take into account that our society has been doing something special against the Negro for hundreds of years."

"America must seek its own way of atoning for the injustices she has inflicted on her Negro citizens [not for] atonement’s sake, . . .[but as a] way to bring the Negro standard to a realistic level. . . .The moral justification for special measures for Negroes is rooted in the robberies inherent in the institution of slavery.”

You have an issue with the people I "descend" from? My great grandfather was an officer with the 54th Massachusetts Infantry. He lost an arm in fighting at Fort Wagner, South Carolina. So keep HIS name out of YOUR mouth!

That's what the record shows.

Pathetic.
