Here’s a line for you

“I contend that the cry of “Black Power” is, at bottom, a reaction to the reluctance of white power to make the kind of changes necessary to make justice a reality for the Negro. I think that we’ve got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the economic plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.”

Right. Ignoring race, is racist, that's what he's saying.

[Pete F.]

MLK 3rd has explained it more than once, “Yes, we should judge people by the content of the character and not the color of their skin — but that is when we have a true, just, humane society where there are no biases, where there is no racism, where there is no discrimination,” Martin Luther King III said. “Unfortunately, all of these things still exist.”

We were quoting MLK, not his son. MLK, who is a national hero, asked us to try and forget about race when judging people.

MLK is your hero?
Just how many of his beliefs do you support?

This one, "This country has socialism for the rich, and rugged individualism for the poor."
--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 1968

Or this one, “ Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor – both black and white, both here and abroad.”

his work on civil
rights makes him a hero.

and we’ve spent trillions and trillions on the poor since the 1960s. and don’t have much reduction in puberty to show for it, i might add.

ming wanted us to ignore race. obviously you disagree. that’s your right. just be honest and i afraid and admit it, you want to focus intently on race.

economic status is more important. i don’t mind funding effective programs to help poor people. but not by race. a wealthy black family doesn’t need my help more than a poor white family. do you disagree with that?

You’ve obviously never read MLKs I had a dream speech or you wouldn’t quote just part of one sentence.

From this quote, the 3rd doesn't seem nearly as mentally sharp nor as linguistically competent as his forebear. I don't recall senior expressing a desire for utopia, except in his Christian heaven. Judging people by the content of their character is dependent on personal biases followed by a judgmental discrimination as a result of those biases.

I don't think MLK wanted us to wait for some perfection of man before "racial justice" could be achieved. I suppose that he knew there would always be evil expressing itself in the mass of humanity. I guess that, if he was not a hypocrite, something approaching that perfection would be required for entry into heaven (and that not many would get there), but not be necessary in a just, earthly, society.

I think the "justice" he sought was in the legal, cultural, and societal makeup of the nation in which he dreamed that his "four little children will one day live in." He did not expect everyone in that society to be righteous. I believe, contrary to the 3rd's desire, "all these [evil] things [will always] exist."

Last night on the dishonest Tucker show went on and on how mask don’t work

Then showed clip after clip of medical professionals saying CLOTH mask don’t work then Moved to Seee they Lied to you since the beginning of the pandemic
And now Biden send a mask out that wont work anyway..

Feeding His gullible audiences with misinformation

Paul in Jims world view

If there is any poverty then any program which try’s to stop it has failed

It’s the same with Covid , cancer , education , mask , vaccines,

Unless these changes or ideas are made by the GOP then they are considered benevolent and worthily of the effort to irradicate them

Like voter integrity laws , Tax cuts , Jan 6th , Trump himself , Abortion

my worldview…

the poorest sections of our big cities, are way worse today than 25 years ago. No comparison. there’s literally no comparison. Fatherlessness and drugs.

what’s my view on cancer wayne?

all i’ve ever said about cancer, is that biden explicitly promised we’d cure it, on the condition that he got elected. Well, he won. He’s got three years to make good.

What did i say in that paragraph, that you could say is incorrect?

Covid? Probably chinas fault, not anything that any president could have done much differently. it’s not trumps fault, it’s not biden’s fault. But Again, biden promised to beat the disease, but the numbers are worse than last year. And that’s not biden’s fault, it’s the pandemic. As TDF said, blame mother nature. But Biden promised to beat it, and it’s fair to hold him accountable for that promise.

Trump promised to build the wall and he didn’t, and i have criticized him here many times for failing to deliver on that promise. He gets a big, fat, F on that. Similarly, i criticize biden for promising to cure cancer and promising to beat covid.

Tell me, where is the hypocrisy, when i consistently and accurately criticize both presidents for failing to deliver on promises?

Biden’s promise to cure cancer, is exploiting people who are at the most desperate and vulnerarable situation that a human being can be in. it’s reptilian to try and exploit that desperation for personal gain. And that’s exactly, precisely what biden did. It does t matter if that hurts your political narrative, what matters is that’s what happened.

i can criticize republicans and democrats. you can only criticize republicans, you can only praise democrats.

Wayne, you keep defending democrats from every single criticism. Why does every poll, as well as the election results in VA and NJ, clearly suggest that America doesn't like what liberals are doing? Are the polls wrong in your opinion? If the midterms were held today, what do you really, honestly think would happen?

The polls are miserable for democrats. How does that happen, especially when every single TV station except foxnews, and all of academia, constantly pushes the notion that liberals are good and conservatives are evil?

Biden said yesterday he couldn't name one single thing that conservatives stand for. Seriously? Well he's on the path to learning a very very stark lesson in November. A lot can and likely will happen between now and then, if covid peters out and they can et a grip on inflation without causing a recession, that will be a real feather in his cap. But if the midterms were today, the democrats would get annihilated. They almost lost NJ, and NO ONE was talking about that.
There's a reason for that. I'm very curious to know what you think the reason is. Racism?

The Florida Department of Health has placed a top official on administrative leave after he criticised staff over their vaccination rate.


In an email on 4 January, Dr Raul Pino called unvaccinated staff members "irresponsible" and wrote "we are not even at 50% - pathetic".
Legislation passed in Florida late last year prohibits employers, public and private, from mandating jabs.

Don’t see and mandating in that email

I agree with you on vaccines, I think people are being dumb. But if you're a state official, and you cross the governor (even if the governor is wrong, as I believe Desantis is getting it wrong on vaccine, which is a big thing to be wrong on), you're going to get booted.

Maybe the state of FL could learn how to tolerate dissenting opinions from democrats, who are being so very tolerant of Manchin and Sinema right now. Right?

Maxine Waters went on TV, and said Manchin and Sinema don't care about black people. You don't have chit to say about that, that's fine with you.

So we haven’t defeated poverty We haven’t had a balanced budget in decades we haven’t won a war since WW2

And conservatives complain as if Republicans never held public office or the White House …. It’s always someone else’s fault

SACRAMENTO —

Under a bill introduced Thursday by a California lawmaker children in the state would be allowed to make their own vaccination decisions. Senate Bill 866 by Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) would permit children 12 and older to be vaccinated, including against COVID-19, without a parent’s consent or knowledge.

"If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."

Let me guess, false equivalency, or missing context, or something else equally as absurd

But definitely NOT bullying

The vaccine reduces the severity of COVID so much that Aaron Rodgers is unvaccinated and yet his receivers didn't catch anything significant.

Three large studies by the CDC show just how vital booster shots are when it comes to preventing hospitalization and death, especially among one age group.

The first study, released Friday, looked at almost 88,000 hospitalizations in 10 states found that booster shots were 90% effective at keeping people with the omicron variant of COVID-19 out of the hospital. The data was collected during December and January when the omicron was dominant.

Ivermectin provides full protection against the NFC Championship Game.

After the game, Aaron Rodgers was pleading with the officials to find him 4 more points.
I mean, he did have 77% of the points until those late points came in out of nowhere. Clearly fraudulent....
