User ID: 1403355 United States 01/16/2012 12:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Unfortunately, this is nothing more than a racist celebration here in Phoenix. You won't find many, if any, whites at the downtown celebration. When they try to celebrate with the "brothers", they are targeted and the violence starts. What is supposed to be a day of unity is used by the black community here, to divide. There was a lot of violence the last couple years, although not widely reported and it's almost always because the blacks don't want any whites celebrating "their day". The sad part of it is, although they celebrate MLK, virtually none of them rise to the level he challenged them to. No, instead it is used as an excuse to keep the very thing alive that MLK was trying to abolish. I only believe half of what I read and even half of that is bullshit. |

It is very sad to see that after 40+ years after MLK's assassination we are not even close to his dream. |

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies. To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. |

Unit 1 User ID: 1403247 United States 01/16/2012 01:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, activist, and prominent leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement.[1] He is best known for being an iconic figure in the advancement of civil rights in the United States and around the world, using nonviolent methods following the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi.[2] King has become a national icon in the history of modern American liberalism.[3] Quoting: IS-BE A Baptist minister, King became a civil rights activist early in his career.[4] He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he expanded American values to include the vision of a color blind society, and established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other nonviolent means. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and stopping the Vietnam War. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. federal holiday in 1986. Born Michael King, Jr. January 15, 1929 (1929-01-15) Atlanta, Georgia, United States Died April 4, 1968 (1968-04-04) (aged 39) Memphis, Tennessee, United States Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the United States, a Federal Holiday.

I live with a white person, I've dated many ppl outside of my race I have been promoted to Supervisor, I sit at the front of the bus when I chose, I piss at the same toilet whites do, I work with whites under me, point is the field is a lot more level then it was just 40 yrs. Ago. Are there still race lines? Of course, but that will occur as long as we continue to follow the religion which is television and the politicians who are idealist but get crushed by a system in which no one controls. Its out of control Fix that together and I bet all colors will bond so close interstellar space is possible |

Pepper, won a civil trial that found US government agencies guilty in the wrongful death of Martin Luther King. The 1999 trial, King Family versus Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators, is the only trial ever conducted on the assassination of Dr. King. See story and video ~ [link to www.examiner.com] |
