MLK Day

A day for reflection and hope. The dream goes on.

I think I'll spin some Motown & Band Of Gypsies in his honor.

I saw this on PBS yesterday. He is a great speaker and has a striking way with words.

The rednecks at work were all wishing each other a "Happy James Earl Ray Day" on Friday. They're all staunch Republicans too, just ask them. But, no, there is no racism to be found in that. Just keep moving along folks, no bigotry to be seen here.

Just to keep things fair and balanced;

Yesterday, I watched a special on the history of a (former) town in North Carolina called Hayti, that is now a district of Durham. From back in the days when the hateful bigots in America were predominantly Democrats. You know, prior to Nixons "Southern Strategy" and their exodus to the GOP. Look it up yourself, I'm tired of educating you.

I hate that James Earl Ray crap. For the record, I've heard it from plenty of union types. They are dying off though.

And becoming Republicans. The "nigger" in the Whitehouse is the reason they lost their jobs. Just ask them, they'll tell you all about it.

These the same guys that organize door to door in key areas in NE Ohio every election, for the left? Can you hear the conversation re: Hillary, Barack, and the GOP?

...and the rightwing echo chamber at Faux News is losing their shit once again over the President's remarks about race yesterday. Who the hell do they think they're kidding? The truth hurts, I guess.

Hell, even out here in the supposed land of enlightened hippiedom, I run into dyed in wool white racists all the time. If it ain't blacks, it's the latino menace from south of the border or the "ornamentals" taking the good white folks slots in the U.C. system.

If there's one disadvantage to being a white boy? It's these pieces of white excrement spewing their sick hatred at me, as if I agree with them. I guarantee that they don't make that mistake twice.
