But the self-defeating messages weren't present with [Rev. Dr.] Martin Luther King [jr. - Due respect, he earned those titles.], or even Malcolm X or Muhammad Ali
It still might work out for me: fire stations these days tend to hire older men to be firefighters because they're less balsy and take less risks than younger men.
and on top of it he was an immigrant (a legal one) the the US
But there does come an age where you're just too old to be hired on as a firefighter.
He made out OK for someone immigrating to the US with nothing more than a suitcase of clothes and not speaking English...meanwhile others grow up here and never make it off the welfare rolls
Which is true, yeah.
Who? Which one?
I was agreeing with I guess both: your point about MLK and TDA's story about his father.
Even though I qualify for welfare, I've refused to use it for years. I'd probably be more 'well off' with it, but I'd rather work.
I was asking about TDA's comments
I agree wth you on MLK...I suspect that he would be disappointed with how the "movement" has gone
It wasn't his movement.
This isn't his movement.
MLK and Malcolm X agreed on the civil rights aspect of things, but disagreed on a hell of a lot more.
Yeah. MLK specifically preached nonviolence.
Well, i didn't label it as "his", but either way, he would be disappointed IMHO
For example.
MLK's movement died, I'm afraid.
It's Malcolm X that won.
Yup, but now its ok to "punch a Nazi" or shoot up a Congressional baseball field
yes,sadly so
He wouldn't have done it if he knew she was underaged!
that line pissed me off most of all
So its ok to gang rape those 18 and over
Besides, would he have really?
I'm not saying one way or another, but it's a valid question.
If this weren't in the US, I'd say that the courts had much more serious issues to weigh judgments on.
There are people saying some *very bad* things on twitter, these days.
I mean, if you hang your memorial on someone else's property, you can't really get mad when they tear it down and tell you to gtfo.
you're basically vandalizing their property if you don't get permission first
