I'm glad I saw this thread. Happy MLK Day, and its a great time to remind ourselves of all our forefathers had to bear so that we can be afforded the opportunities that we have to day.
Did you guys know that martinlutherking.org is a hate website that is thinly veiled as an attempt to create a psuedoeducational website? Its sponsored by Stormfront, check it out.
if this is inappropriate, please let me know. I just wanted to bring this to other peoples attention
NT.... C'mon
Don't make this day about judging the bad in people's lives
You wouldn't want that done to you
Let Martin Luther King day live on w/o criticism
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.The time is always right to do what is right.
Do we do the same thing for Malcolm x
well...he doesn't have a day.
and he was kind of a...ya know...racist.
how so.... i can understand how some would interpret it as such seeing his take the bull by the horns, demanding str8 forward approach when it comes to minority rights...and not the kumbaya, almost passive and permission approach that mlk took. But kkk is racist and based on what i can access of malcolm x i cant place him, the panthers and others like them in the same realm of conversation as the klan.well...he doesn't have a day.

......reacting to institutionalized racism is not racist. It is simply reactionary.

um racism is believing one race is superior then the other...and the practice of denying and discriminating against said other races based on the premise of your belief of superiority....KKK was racist for racism sake
Malcolm was racist as a reaction
all of it still racism.
okayum racism is believing one race is superior then the other...and the practice of denying and discriminating against said other races based on the premise of your belief of superiority....
Where did malcolm say he believed whites where beneath as a whole blacks? Malcolm never had power so how could he use it to deny and discriminate against other races based on feeling his race was superior? He didnt have the power/money/resources/influence to impose racial superiority over whites...so again how could he have done it? better question show a example of him doing it?
You cannot deny nor can you discriminate against a person without having the power/resources to do so...You couldnt even say he was prejudice against the white establishment seeing as his disdain taste for them wasnt a prejudgment, and based on actually truths....ie if i saw you and said i believe you a thief based on the premise of you being a certain race..isnt the same as calling you a thief because i saw you steal red handed.
Cant even say he was a bigot..seeing as a bigot is a person who is narrow minded, intolerable to others based on preconceived notions and prejudices... because again he wasnt prejudice so......
I dont mind ppl using the fictitious "race card" and what not...but if you are going to use it, atleast know what the suit is on the card.
