Thought of the day

[ZHEOTARE]

Thinking back to all that I have read, and heard about MLK, I really feel that he would be disappointed in how Americans are now. All people, of all races, need to research, and really understand what his true message was. His message was to love, and treat everyone with respect, sincerity, and honesty. His message was to treat all people, regardless of race, as you would treat the people closest to you. I have serious doubts that he would agree with how the word racism is so easily thrown around, this victim mentality, and this selfish attitude that a growing number of people have. He, along with many other fought for everyone to have equal rights. Go out and show them that their fight was worth fighting for, and not fought so that others can use it as an excuse to sit around and be worthless. Go out and be somebody. While you're at it, help someone else be somebody. Take pride in what you do. And don't judge somebody based on their skin color, financial situation, or religious beliefs. Judge them on how they treat you, the friends that they keep, and above all else, their character. Don't have the belief of "I'll respect you when you respect me". Instead always show everyone respect right off the bat. Keep showing them respect until they blatantly disrespect you. We will always see people in different colors, but that doesn't mean we are that much different.

So you're contradicting your previous statement saying regardless of religion to treat people equally, then you insult someone's religion by saying there is no heaven? Pretty sketchy.

How in the world does Z's beliefs insult Noodle's statement? He was simply stating his view. Does NOT contradict his OP nor does it insult Noodle or myself (I am a Christian just as Noodle is.) Only drama is what you brought with your post.

@Z - I couldn't agree more. I would give everything I own to see MLK come back and slap Obama in the face with some of the crap he is pulling. (Let's add most of the House and Congress to that as well.)

I didn't read it as humor, but I trust that was your intent. :D

@crim no doubt. Add the ACLU and 90% of these other so called civil rights activists to the list.

I'm now remembering the excellent episode of Boondocks, where he gets to see what has happened. Needless to say he verbally DESTROYS the unrighteous.
I miss that show, Huey is my hero.

Go listen to the I have a dream today speech by MLK and if you don't feel moved then I think you need to go get a heart.

100% agree. Sadly, I think most people listen, but don't hear what he's saying. They definitely aren't fulfilling his dream.

I actually had to read it for an English assignment. Even on paper it's very moving. I mean before that, I had never really listened to the entire speech. If you have not listened to it or even read it, I would highly recommend doing so. What he says and how it is conveyed produces such powerful emotions.
