Why?
Why would Al Sharpton and his ilk shudder in fear of MLK? You believe that people working to point out that institutional racism is very much alive in this country are the cause of racism instead of the product of racism.
What do you advocate? Sticking your head in the sand and hoping racism just goes away? There were a bunch of white people calling MLK a racist back in the day, and I don't think I have to wonder much which side of the debate you would have been on back then, considering your continued opinions on the same subjects today.

If you believe no "black" people are you aren't racist, you hold a recist belief, as in an overarching belief about a trait the you feel all "black" people share.?
Works both ways!
Does it make you feel better to point out flaws in another group of people so as not to seem so bad yourself?
Black people can be racist, certainly, but you are aware that Racism is about power imbalance, aren't you, and seeing as blacks in our society are not afforded the same types of power on a large scale that white people are, they don't have the ability to be racist within this culture. But, I am splitting hairs, and you don't understand what I'm saying anyway..
Granting anyone a free pass because of their skin color in reality is not only favoring one over the other but racist in itself!
I highly doubt MLK would agree with any "race pimps" that are currently doing what they do to not only further divide "US" by our skin color, but by using his good works to create an atmosphere where the color of ones skin doesn't matter, to defame it by making a mockery of what he stood for and why he was assassinated?
I'm not sure what any of this has to do with anything I said, so I am simply going to leave you to your ranting.

Obama is half-black and he's POTUS. Holder is the AG.
How much power is the "right" amount of power for 12.6% of the population to hold?

Maybe your right!
I'll just fall in line with Obama and Eric Holder, but pick a different team so we just continue on the path of creating a climate of racial violence due to community organizers with a goal of destruction versus learning to get along!
Happy?

Obama was elected to the presidency because white people elected him. Holder is the AG because white people approved his nomination.
How much power should a black person have? As much as a white person.

I get one vote and pay 35% in taxes for my one vote.
What do you think a black dude in Ferguson who pays no taxes should get?
The opportunities you had, apparently.

So where do you perceive the power is missing?
And why do you assume I'm white?
He distinctly made the comment, "MY PEOPLE"! Right there shows how race is being used to create laws that shows leniency because of skin color!

Would I be racist to say, "I believe that between Obama and Holder that they have done more to instigate racial hatred and set this country back 50 years?".
He distinctly made the comment, "MY PEOPLE"! Right there shows how race is being used to create laws that shows leniency because of skin color!
Was that MLK's message?
Keep in mind, that the biggest threat to the government is any man/woman promoting peace!
Obama and Holder as much as I despise them are doing what they were told! Use their race to further divide and weaken our country!
I want my country to come together! PERIOD!
By supporting division, you support the destruction or out country!

Pointing out injustice isn't equivalent to committing an act of injustice. You probably knew that but couldn't come up with anything better. I get that. I'm surprised people still throw it out there.

So, you believe that black people should learn to get along? How is that? By shutting up about the power imbalances? By keeping quiet that disproportionate amounts of blacks are jailed, killed by police, and targeted for stop and frisk policies?

Are you saying "white people" are not victims of the same kind of tyrannical justice?
They sure as hell are! But yet I'll bet you won't dare address black on black violence? If you were a cop and had a beat in a neighborhood that had high violence regardless of skin color, would you be lackadaisical in you rounds?
Sometimes the truth hurts in addressing an issue! But I can see how Progressive ideologies have conditioned many to point their fingers rather than except responsibility?
Hell, look at our educational system! Nothing more than a "slave factory"!
Anyhow, I just want everyone to get along. You continue to push whatever you believe or are brainwashed into thinking is the right thing to do, and I will continue to exercise my freedom of speech to disagree with you!
I am the one pleading for equality, while you are allowing yourself to be used as a tool to further create more division!
Just remember!
The path to hell is paved with people with good intentions!
United we stand, divided we fall!
Easy choice for me!

I'm sorry you feel that way. I just don't really know how to argue against an opinion that has no basis in reality.
