[bobabode]

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

Yes...
Thank you for reminding us.

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

Something for the tea sippers and neo cons.

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.

I have more respect for those overt racists than I do for these phonys on the right that try to claim Martin Luther King and Fredrick Douglas as their own when everybody knows they would have hated them when they were alive.

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?
