    Obviously you don't know shyt about Malcolm... You're definitely talking out the side of your mouth now.

    Yes... We all understand that you're not for minorities being treated equally. The world will be a much better place when people like you die off.

    Yes, we know he was a socialist. Nothing new there. But he advocated peaceful protest, not burning down cities - and that was a smart approach that got results. This isn't going to turn out the way the rioters want it to...

    Oh wait, yes it will. They already got their pringles and 4K TVs, and that's what justice is really about... :p

    I normally ignore everything you say, as you are a blatant racist and not terribly bright to boot, but...

    This is the second time today that someone has wished me dead on this board. You know... the other guy got banned for it. Just sayin' :rolleyes:

    I said you sounded like a Nazi after your "cleanse the genepool comment" already.

    That isn't historically accurate. Even MLK spoke positively about riots and worked with people engaged in more militant activities. And, without the more violent actions people would not have been willing to listen to the non-violent people like King.

    How much goodwill and attention were you giving them before the protests turned into riots and looting? People usually either have disdain or dismissiveness for non-violent protests. I wish they worked, but experience and history tells me they don't.

    You wished me dead on this thread and then defended doing so.

    Oh I must have missed that one. I'm ignoring most of your comments. I knew it was coming sooner or later though.

    Well, I certainly learned something today. So all that "I have a dream" stuff was just malarkey? He was really an agitator who approved of a violent approach to forcing policy change, eh? I truly didn't know that. How come they aren't teaching that part in the schools? I mean, if we have it all wrong and the change came about because of violence, then shouldn't we attempt policy changes of all types with violence? Maybe just do away with the government, and we can just fight it out in the streets from now on? Hmmm..... :rolleyes:

    Well, before the riots, I was thinking that this was a bad case and the cops should go down for it. I'm still thinking that, even after the riots. But I have a let's say... Dim view of the "protesters" now, since they decided to burn a bunch of crap down, loot innocent businesses, and beat a bunch of people senseless in the streets just because they were white. So yeah, I guess you could say that the riots have been successful in altering perceptions. :)

    Why waste a wish on wishing you to be dead when it will eventually happen anyway :rolleyes: We're all going to die genius.

    But you go head and run crying to clutch. I notice that he'll let you (and people like you) be belligerent in this thread with KKK mentality and ban others. I'm surprised you people can even watch sports with all the darkies playing.

    He also advocated for reparations because the same people who want blacks to "pull themselves up from their bootstraps" have forever benefitted from the largesse of the conventional financial system and government grants programs--and still do to this day (Hi Archer Midland Daniels and zero-interest Fed rate pumping up the stock market that overwhelmingly benefits the top 10% of the wealth distribution).

    You've remained conspicously silent on that.

    My supposed racism exists only in your head, and only because you are mentally incapable of forming coherent arguments, and are reduced to creating caricatures of others in order to compensate for your own mental shortcomings.

    I don't report anyone unless they are making death threats or advocating violence against innocent people. I will put up with a LOT of mud slung my way. Lord knows I've had more than my fair share of it over the years, but that just comes from tying the leftists and racists into knots with arguments that they can't logically counter here. But I draw the line when people threaten or condone violence against innocent people. Yep, you bet I will report that.

    Pretty sure this board has some rules or something that say that sort of stuff won't be tolerated. Somewhere...

    How can you be both ignoring and replying to most of my comments?

    So, MLK never said that rioting is the language of the unheard? He never hired armed black militants to help guard his peaceful marchers?

    The fact that he promoted non-violence doesn't change some of the more radical things he did or said, and it doesn't change that the more violent currents of the civil rights movement had a huge impact on the success of that movement as well.

    Sure, here: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=9719711&postcount=161

    Dude, isn't this thread depressing enough already? I have the fellow you are replying to on ignore. Why? Because he called me a traitor. Yes, he "got away with it." I'm not the only member he's called a traitor for the sin of disagreeing with him. Why is he still here? You would have to ask Clutch. What I can tell you, and you ought to listen, is that comments like yours are not helping at all. Quite the opposite.

    1) Same crime, different punishment. Systematic racism at its finest.

    https://www.aclu.org/node/17576

    2) um, no, I meant when Wells Fargo actively hunted "mud people" to give "ghetto loans" to--which ultimately sunk their business, or would have if the American government had not given billions of dollars away to rich bankers instead of the urban poor.

    3) 95 of the 100 poorest counties in America are in red states.

    And nearly 40 years later, those reparations still haven't materialized. What does that tell you? (I know, probably nothing...)

    I know that the "rich got theirs on the backs of the poor" is a popular argument among those of your persuasion, but it's a pretty lame crutch to fall back on. SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, Social Security, Medicare, EIC - where do those come from? Who pays for those? Who receives the benefits?

    Go cry to someone else about your income inequality BS. Anyway... I thought you sait it wasn't about the money? :rolleyes:
