MLK Day

I hope that if MLK was alive today he would not be one of the black leaders blaming racism and white people for black's problems. I hope he would not be another liberal looking for another hand-out or excuse for failure. I'll include a few lines from his famous speech to show the current liberal and black leader what his message was, and what message should be sent out now.

But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

We cannot walk alone.

And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

We cannot turn back.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!³

He talks of working together, not calling all white people racist. If we had more black leaders like him today, our inner cities might have a shot. Instead, they are given a welfare check from the Left in payment for their vote. Their kids standards are lowered, excuses are made as to why their test scores and attendance are pitiful. Liberals never comment on this because they know their ideas and thoughts have never and will never help any minority. Only the message of personal responsibility and self-help will save the day.

Only when more people like Bill Cosby stop being affraid of the intolerant liberals who ae deeply frightened of sucessful, intelligent black people will things start to change. When minorities get upset abou the Lefts attack on any minority who achieved greatness on their own like Powell or Rice, only then will things change.

All conservatives wish for this day. They are not the ones hoping a pathetic welfare check and an excuse will keep minorities quiet. The right wants all people to take pride in themselves, in thier communities, and in this country. That hasn't happened on the Left for many years now. If the poor and minorities could only see the only true path out of their situation is themselves.

Then you have a story about a parade for peace. You don't need a parade, that will not change anything...as you can see by reading the story.
