Of course you didn't, because that wasn't what you were looking for.
None of that negates the quote that CP used.

You are doing exactly the thing you are accusing me of doing.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by JimL View PostLOL, thats exactly what you did do.
That's what this thread is about, and you and your buddies are proving me correct.
Even his "I have a Dream" speech, you guys omit the part where he proclaims "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
Now, in your ignorance, you're going to claim I took that out of context -- but the context is there, and this sentence does nothing to negate or vary from the overall message of his speech.
You can check it out yourself but reading the entire speech, Jimmy -- http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/mlk01.aspThe first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by JimL View PostIt also has nothing to do with the topic at hand, so why are you bringing it up?
Did you just want to show that like you, even MLK could be critical of black people. Whats your point CP?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostIt is EXACTLY the topic at hand, Jimmy. You liberals have dressed MLK up like your own little puppet to march around at your command. He was far more complex than that.
No, Jimmy - I'm showing that MLK was an honest broker in this regard. He specifically was not about "blaming whitey". He knew it was a two-sided problem.

Originally posted by JimL View PostIts isn't about blaming whitey CP, thats just your inner guilt showing itself again. Its about the unjust treatment, and particularly murder, of black men by the police. Are you blaming that on black men, or are you denying that its a fact.
a) You hate white people due to the self loathing present in all liberals
b) You're afraid of criticizing black people becasue
c) You don't really think they're fully adult human beings capable of being held to the same standard as everybody else, but you can't say that out loud so you find a way to blame it on somebody else (white people, the police, etc.) instead."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.
