bull****... the Republican party position on race relations mirrors King's position... integration and a colour-blind society.

it's the Left that constantly brings attention to race.

(and when it comes to the means by which blacks should become economically empowered, it is the Republicans who mirror the sentiments of the black nationalists... don't do drugs, have a stable, traditional family, get an education, work hard, start your own business, etc. the door is opened, thanks to men like MLK and Malik. it's just a matter of going through.)

Ummm.... MLK was not a black nationalist. There's a big difference. The Left doesn't see any reason why the races can't live together in harmony when they aren't forced to compete with each other. Black nationalist reject that, but that was MLKs dream.

That's BS, that was MLKs dream. Integration; that they would compete together, not that they would be forced to, but that they would choose to. Yet the left does nothing to encourage racial mixing or competition except handicapping (in a golf sense) racial minorities. I think you need to re-read that speech.

"I do feel that sometimes Republicans are unfairly cast as hardcore racists. To be fair, the only color they care about is green. "

Hey now, be fair. We also care about black (color of oil) and red (color of blood of innocents we spill in the spreading of our glorious empire)!

Green
Silver
Gold

i dont get the appeal of stars... they come out like once a week or two and then you only see like 10 of them in the sky and half of them are probably just airplanes...

This is the message I've received from MLK Jr.: Be nice to each other. Respect each other. Treat others as you yourself would want to be treated.

There. That's it. Not so hard, is it? Simplicity at its best. But try telling that to a world which still roils with hatred ...

MLK was Jesus?

Speer: Perhaps... but I doubt many people use MLK as an excuse to hate gays

Albert:

You've never been in the country?

Then you've never really seen the stars. I grew up on a farm, and I still miss those clear and cold winter nights.

[Al B. Sure!]

no. i've spent nearly every day and night for the past 15 years in philadelphia... and before then, i was in Alexandria/DC and Beirut.

Some themes are universal, Speer, and surely you know that MLK Jr.'s ideas didn't grow from a desert, but from his faith.
