I offer the following two videos as anti-dotes to the deodorized version of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. offered annually by most mediums of communication. In this first video, Cornel West speaks of how President Barack Obama is only an integrationist fulfillment of MLK Jr’s dream and not THE fulfillment of the larger vision…
And in this following video, a number of people are featured on this piece by slepton.com speaking to the truer and more complete picture of the civil rights icon that doesn’t fit nicely within the soundbites and sectioned off version of the establishment…
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
American’s need to reflect on what this man represented. CHANGE.
Positive Change. When I was a kid they were still hanging people in the south and not so publically abusing Blacks in the far reaches of Northern California.
Many houses in Floral Park in Santa ana, have back doors, but which were really service entrances for “colored” who delivered the groceries. You don’t hear goose writing about that!
I nearly spit up my lunch when i read Prevatt’s PRO-UNION post next door.
I used to think these guys did’nt get it. But it’s me who is naive, they get it perfectly. Manipulate a good cause, a sacred Holiday, a race, even your kids……just so you can make your point and proclaim rightousness.
Someday, people will mature and realize, that actions speak louder than words. So to them I say: GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING!
