I'm not embarrassed.  There's been a gallon of verbiage here but 
I've seen little for me to change my mind.

[Biofuel] MLK Thread

2006-04-14 Thread Mike Weaver
Whenever MLK came to town you knew you either gave him whathe wanted or you 
would have violence on your hands.
Hogwash. MLK advocated non-violence.  But, MLK was not in charge of every 
element of the Civil Rights movement.
He was a leader to many, but not a commander to all.  If some members of the 
community wanted to riot, MLK could not just issue an order and stop them.

Look up Bull Connor  MLK and his marcher were not *allowed* to have a 
peaceful march.

I think reading a little history might save you future embarrassment.

Gary Green,

All I can say is that you're one twisted puppy, or at least you're 
dedicated to that direction.

A peaceful march that gets dogs, battans and boots set upon them is not 
something that can be honestly be blamed as causal. But you choose to do 
so, decidedly noting that the bee was already in their bonnet, almost 
implying that it's their fault for just being their. Or is it for just 
being?

And unrest? You're labeling that as riotous behavior? Disatisfaction 
is grounds for stitches, casts and steel skull plates?

You miss all the colors in the spectrum save for the two ends. And even 
then you try to paint both black and white in some perverse distortion 
of gray.

Relative to Martin Luther King?

  

I didn't say he should die.



No. You said

  That's why he had to be killed.

As in necessary, mandatory, no option.

And as for your exactly? Don't get carried away with yourself, 
thinking that you can snip and twist what I've written so that it 
appears to be in accord with your peculiar beliefs. When I wrote

  

Something about having a foot in the middle of
your back just doesn't cotton too well towards
the idea of peace.



I meant it literally. Doubtful that even your well-honed mind would sit their 
calmly with a trained police dog munching and shredding your leg while Billy 
and Joe Bob smash everything in swinging distance of a battan, inclusive of 
your spine.

My bet is that you take great joy in this little game your playing, a useless 
drain on other people's time and almost a complete waste, other than exposing 
how singular your focus is, or that it's just chain jerking that you're about.

Violence at who's initiation?

Exactly.  I'm saying he didn't lead a band of trained peace  
protesters, there were those but not all.  The majority were regular  
folk, of whatever race, that were pissed that things were the way  
they were and if they didn't see things progressing they were prone  
to display their displeasure.  When I read about MLK, I also read  
about unrest.

Excuse me? Advocating equality is justification for murder?
Let me guess..., I misunderstand what you wrote.

Todd Swearingen
   

  

Maybe.  He was a proponent for change, for equality.  In the great  
scheme of U.S. empire building that comes contrary to profit.  I'm  
saying the same people that had Kennedy killed had MLK killed.   
Justified?  I never said that.  I didn't say he should die.  I said  
that the powers that be were not about to leave him alive.

Gary
