On the bright side, MLK left us with some awesome words:

"It's a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his bootstraps. And many Negroes, by the thousands and millions, have been left bootless … as the result of a society that deliberately made his color a stigma...”

A black woman from my state is dreaming today, thanks in no small part to MLK.

She's announced that she's running for president, against the racist, corrupt, incompetent moron illegitimately occupying the oval office.

I wish her well; of the three women who have so far announced, she strikes me as the most capable of ousting the idiot.

MLK was an awesome person. I believe his command of the English language, especially his ease with imagery left many whites with a feeling of guilt and intimidation.

Oh dear. Then these whites were the victims, manipulated by his rhetorical skill?

What about persons who felt gratified and inspired while being white. Were they victims too?
