Pffft- yes you did.....
? Care to provide some evidence of that?
My bad- you're right, he was a saint.... Big pink fluffy clouds your way.....
Do a little research beyond what your 7th grade textbook told you.
From the speech:
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little 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.
I have a dream today!
Aerosmith Dream On plays in the background.
"I have a dream that my four little 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."
Well, that's where 99% of the population fails.
They still behave like they live in the animal world.
Im sorry, but i am judging these dumb asses in Ferguson by their Character.
The fact that they are black ignorant dumb asses the world would be better off without is irrelevant (except to cnn and eric holder)
Blacks, like whites, are reluctant to fix the problems in their ingroup.
The solution is as plain as day, purge themselves of all the scum.
Not gonna happen with blacks, not gonna happen with whites.

I wonder who he plagarised that from?
False dichotomy. Einstein wasn't a saint either. Should we have simply thrown out relativity because he was human?
Hitler was a vegetarian. Take that!
Hillary swings both ways......
When did that start? Huma will be heartbroken.
The people who might be voting for the gold referendum this weekend are accused of eating cats & dogs.
(perhaps we'll see stories of dead babies strangled in their incubators by the weekend)

MLK never "dreamed" about anything but white hookers. (Everyone used to think that Bill Cosby was a saint, too.)
It's kinda funny; the timing of the smear campaign against Bill Cosby. He has long railed against ebonics, thug "culture", victim mentality, race baiting, and so on.
Yeah, funny strange!
MLK was a proven Communist on the KGBs payroll (Venona Cables). A traitor who gets his own gov't holiday. This country is evil.
"Communism forgets that life is individual. Capitalism forgets that life is social, and the Kingdom of Brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of Communism nor the antithesis of capitalism but in a higher synthesis.” -MLK
He was inspired by Hegel, not Marx.
No, that was Malcom X's job, not MLK's. Carrot and stick of the Hegelian dialectic.
Like it matters. Most people dont know but the assassination of MLK was admitted to by the US Government in the late 1990's. Same as it ever was.
The criminally corrupt are never assassinated. Only those who stray from the playbook. So, I'll give MLK and MX credit for bucking the system, for what it's worth.
"folks"
Well, as for me personally, Robert E Lee was born on the same day, we don't have a Robert E. Lee day because the winner got to tell the story, so I celebrate him instead. I had a dream tooooo.
At least MLK was smart enough not do burn his own neighborhood down that you have to live in like they are doing now. No he had a so called million man march from Mississipi. Rallied in Chitcago and started to take all those people over to the nice big whitey neighbor hoods on the west side. Then riots spread to Watts, Miami, Detroit....
That was the mistake. got nailguned. ANd......You whan to know an incident that changed a man's life forever and made him like he is? The good ole Reverend Jesse Jackson was standing right beside him when he got nailgunned.
The rest of the story by Paul Harvey
Actually, some states DO have a Robert E Lee day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Lee_Day
And, Lee logs did not sell as well as Lincoln logs.......
Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson were not only Men among men, they were Gentlemen as well.
Chancellorsville was genius (despite the loss of Jackson), his troops were skilled skirmishers, but I always felt he didn't exploit this strength as much as he perhaps should have. If he'd regarded the lessons of Polybius more closely things may have turned out quite differently
The former Robert E. Lee farm is now Arlington National Cemetery.
My favourite moments are seeing hundreds of police guarding government buildings while all the private stuff burns. And the new fad "Drive-N-Loot" where looters drive in groups of up to 100 cars to the next strip mall.
Although I knew television news coverage was mostly B.S. the coverage of the riots was pathetic as I listened to all the action on my radio scanner app. At best 20% of what looting took place was ever reported.
Maybe I am just naive but I tend to think he'd be disgusted with the way so many blackies act today.
The appropriate response from the Black community is not to loot private property. The appropriate response is shoot cops first, this way they avoid being shot. Blacks should secure weapons any way they can and when they see a cop, they shot at sight. This way they avoid getting killed. Simple logic.
Yeah, and another way is not to thug and crime.

MLK speaks 2014
You didn't loot that.
If you like your looters, you can keep your current ones.
"Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness." Martin Luther King, Jr.
http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/martin_luther_king_jr.htmlThat's MLK alright.
"creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness"
False dichotomy.
How about in the darkness of destructive altruism (socialism) or the creative selfishness (freedom)?
"I have a dream........
of a new 52 inch LCD HDTV."
lol. I think Ebby pretty succinctly summarizes the state of moral in the United States today.
If anyone thinks these riots are racially biased, they're MSM or DC propaganda, meant to deceive and obfuscate.
These riots are about WEALTH destruction. These riots are about greed!
These riots don't have color. The MSM would like for you to think that. These riots are the outcome of a generation of entitlement and easy fixes.
What...!!!??? Go BIG or Go Home... ;-)
What else should we have expected. After all it is the season for receiving gifts from the government isn't it!
I guess most of those don't know who MLK is and how to protest peacefully, but they have been watching a lot of such scenes from Iraq, Afghanistan or Syria on CNN everyday. How to blame them?
They had a legitimate cause and people are sick of the police state. However, they lost my support when they started looting. And it was't just one random incident either.
With you part way on the police-state angle, but this Sasquatch had it coming 50 ways 'til Sunday - and he got it...
I am with you all the way on the thug state. people are crying for mike brown to have justice, as I see it what he got was justice he attacked a police officer.
He assaulted and robbed a store owner, then walked down the middle of the street ( Out of sheer stupidity or bravado. Big tough asshole taunting the police)
The Police officer figures out what is going on and when the cop questions the"gentle giant " he is attacked, and the dumb ass brown is shot.
Seems cut dried to me but, this case causes so much angst because the facts run counter to the bullshit lies the protesters want everyone to believe.
Further the lack of understanding of the justice systems is apparent. Several have bemoaned about due process and justice. There was due process but they did not like the outcome so it was unjust and the browns were deprived due process in their opinion.
What I see as a problem is the lack of integrity, maturity, consistency and honesty from this community to accept the facts of the case whether you like the outcome or not rather then destroying the community because you did not get the outcome you did want. That's not due process or justice that's an illustration of mob-justice and a kangaroo court allegedly what they don't want.
It is funny to witness the evolution of those that were oppressed to them becoming the oppressor.
Agreed, I caught hell and was called a statist because I didn't support the thugs targeting small business owners.
I don't support government that attacks its citizens ( the police state)
Nor do I support the thug state
Note to rioters:
If you assault another citizen who has nothing to do with what your protesting you are no better than the run away police state and I do not support your cause the same for the state
Come on folks...I know when I want to make solemn symbolic dislay of a deep social injustic, I too aim for the neares liquor store. Nothing says "equal rights" like a couple bottles of Courvoisier and gin. Take THAT police state!
That is currency actually.
I'd go with mini bottles then (+ cigs, and .22 LR).
Marlboro Refs and Johniie Walker. Don't think they sell ammo at the liquor store. Maybe Wal Mart though...

What the US needs is a greater commitment to racial equality.
It could start by forming all-black police forces whose officers go around killing white guys because they [the police officers] thought their victims were armed.
Chicago has an extremely high percent of black cops and they are often accused of brutality. You see you can hire all the unqualified minorities you want to show how fair and non bigoted you are but dont expect good service from people who were hired by the government - to fill a quota.
That is how Obama rose to the top - through affirmative action. You voted for Obama didnt you - to show what a righteous, non prejudiced lib you are. See what you did.
Or maybe black teen agers should give up thug culture and not attack shop owners and police officers...seems like a lot more easily attained goal.
We really need regime change.
Yes regime change is necessary. A good revolution is what is needed.
It is not about Black or Whites, it is about cops and government protecting their minions (cops).
There should have been a trial so that the evidence would have been out.
Go fuck off realwhitenight. Your lazy ass is the problem. Go get a fucking job. The handouts, student loans, EBT are over. Looting is stealing. Did you ever wonder why it's a Commandment? This has fuck all to do about anything but an opportunity to steal.
Most grand jury's only hear a few hours for a murder trail. This took days or weeks of information and testimony. You're fucking ignorant. Now go fuck the fuck off.
Got an axe to grind, do you...?
All of the evidence is out!
Damn bub, you are sinfully ignorant of the justice system. Let me recommend wikipedia for you. I don't normally do that but your ignorance is disturbing. Wiki: Grand Jury....let's start there.

Civil Wongs is this but with Mao and was dreamt
With regard to the lawlessness, MLK would have said "It's not because of the color of their skin but the content of their character".
The thugs are only practicing on the blacks.
If the blacks cannot be left alone, but are targeted for their ability to be plucked like chickens, what more those of us with more to be plucked?!
An American, not US subject.
Obama says Egypt’s President Mubarak must go
NBC’s Andrea Mitchell reports on President Obama’s call for a transition to democratic government in Egypt; meanwhile, the White House is trying to avoid putting a “made in the U.S.” label on any ouster of President Mubarak.
“The future of Syria must be determined by its people, but President Bashar al-Assad is standing in their way,” Obama said in a written statement. “For the sake of the Syrian people, the time has come for President Assad to step aside.”
March 3, 2011 President Obama said today that Libyan leader Muammar el-Qaddafi has lost legitimacy and "must step down from power and leave" immediately. Obama spoke at a news conference where he also said he had approved the use of U.S. military aircraft to help evacuate refugees fleeing the violence in Libya.
Ironically the president and Secretary of State are the first to demand foreign leaders to resign when they perceive them as illegitimate. When a government loses the confidence of its people rules in opposition to its citizens represses and oppresses them they become illegitimate and MUST NOT be obeyed, you have a duty to disobey them.
Therefore it should be demanded that the Obama regime immediately and peacefully relinquish power to government of the people's choosing and step down as they have become illegitimate and do not have the confidence of nor do they reflect the will of the people.

I learned somethin' today. This country
was founded by some of the smartest
thinkers the world has ever seen. And
they knew one thing: that a truely great
country can go to war, and at the same
time, act like it doesn't want to.
You people who are for the war, you
need the protesters. Because they make
the country look like it's made of sane,
caring individuals. And you people who
are anti-war, you need these flag-wavers,
because, if our whole country was made
up of nothing but soft pussy protesters,
we'd get taken down in a second. That's
why the founding fathers decided we
should have both. It's called "having
your cake and eating it too."
RANDY
He's right. The strength of this country
is the ability to do one thing and say another.
