Jan 18 MLK Day of service.

[czygvtwkr]

Let me summarize this thread, JPC loves black people but isn't going to do anything for him on MLK day, all other white people are ignorant and hate black people so they should do something on MLK day to honor him.

I think that pretty much sums it up.

I think I'll be labeled a racist for this.. but..

I would bet the conditions and care slaves received was far better than the conditions and care the people that live in the projects today get. Kids murdered, raped in stairways, cops too scared to venture in to enforce the law.. Anarchy, rules made by the criminals, and entire families at the mercy of the local, strongest drug lord, worried that they are going to get caught in the crossfire of the next street war.

Should we call them the projects, or call them what they really are, "Minority Reservations".. The democrats have ensured that the majority of minorities are controlled, locked into a lifestyle of crime, drugs, murder and rape.. and sometimes even fenced in, with little or no way out. Generation after generation never getting a taste of the American dream as they are doing "good enough" on the government dole.

Of course they can move freely from one minority reservation up to the next where they have NO responsibilities, and are entirely dependent on the government for their care, housing and well being.. You can call it the Upper or first tier Minority Reservation, but most just call it jail.


With the end of slavery democrats had to find another way to control the minority masses.
The conditions, their lifestyle is what the democrats want and desire, yet the Republicans are the ones labeled as racist..

I have to say that this is the most amazing outlandish thing I have read on these boards. To say that “the conditions and care slaves received was far better than the conditions and care the people that live in the projects today “is just amazing to me. What projects are you talking about exactly? I think of projects in New York, Los Angeles, and Baltimore, and I can’t think of any place that would be worse than a slave shack in Mississippi.

Tell me sir, what community is it that you live in that does not have rapes or murders. Are you really suggesting that it is only minorities who live in project housing? Are you suggesting that it is only minorities who are on the “government dole”?

Do you even know which race collects the most money in federal assistance?

I would ask you respectfully that you reconsider your statements, and perhaps educate yourself to have a more factual basis for your post.

You should educate, yourself......

Since the schools are closed on Monday, I told the boy we would have lunch at KFC in honor of MLK

 

[ItalianScallion]

It was a white that shot JFK.
White shot RFK.
A white shot Reagan.
The tornado had no race or color.
Duh.

Ok genius; the issue is who rioted, not who shot whom...

The predominant black communities are not that wild or dangerous, and I have been to many of them here in SMC and in Baltimore and around the USA and most black people are extraordinarily friendly and courteous and non violent.

I challenge you to walk the streets of Anacostia one night. You, sir, are deceived!

It was the whites that brought slavery and wars to the USA while it was the black people that brought non violent action to the whites.

WRONG! Re check your history books...

...the "majority of minorities" are NOT in the situations as you describe.
Most minorities have jobs - jobs that the ruling whites refuse to pay a fair salary to.
It is not a Democrat or Republican debate, and I honestly do not know anyone that labels the Republican Party as racist.
Some notorious Republicans are racist (like Limbaugh) but there are racist in the Democrat ranks too, and we do not like racist anywhere.

That's ALL true according to CNN, PMSNBC, etc., but not true in the real world. Your own people label Republicans as racists. If Reid was a Republican, he'd have been called racist a million times by now!
I'll wait for your reply to itsbob about how Limbaugh is racist.

I think they're closed too (in honor of) aren't they???

Do you have ANY idea what the definition of a minority is?

Can you be white and be in a minority?

(the answer would be yes)..

so when I say a Minority Reservation it's reserved for ALL minorities.. of which JPC is a member.

And when you say which race collects more welfare funds, are you talking just straight dollars or as a weighted representation as to dollars per capita? Not that it matters, because ALL of them, white, black, hispanic, Native American have just made themselves a different kind of slave. They're just beholdin to a different master. Now they just have to be willing to break the modern day chains..

Poor whites. The lowest rung on the white social ladder was occupied by people who lived on the most marginal lands in the South—the pine barrens, swamps, and sandy hill country. Poor whites, variously called “hillbillies,” “white trash,” “crackers,” or “clay eaters,” just barely survived as subsistence farmers, usually as squatters. Their reputed laziness was primarily due to an extremely inadequate diet; malnutrition left them susceptible to malaria, hookworm, and other diseases that produced lethargy. Slaves sometimes had better physical living conditions than poor whites.

Working at your job or getting the Day off as a Holiday is NOT doing a service.


.

No kidding, moron. I'm not the one who doesn't know how or where to donate my service. I give financially, I give blood, and most important I give generously of my time. I have since I was a kid. That's what responsible people do - they give.

Why didn't you know where or how to give? It's because all you know how to do is take, isn't it?

You do know his birthday was yesterday, right?

No, I did not know his b-day was yesterday.

But I do believe that we really celebrate his later accomplishments anyway.

And the Feds put all the Holidays that they can onto a Monday.

I hope you aren't offering this bolded quote as some sort of evidence that you were correct in your earlier statement.

Yes, like Veteran's Day.

Yes, like Veteran's Day.

Veterans Day.
Now that is a Holiday that is well deserved by those being honored.

unlike some other non mentioned feel good holidays that are only in place to appease one small segment of society as it honors someone that did not sacrifice for the good of the country.

I read a lot of the messages on here, thought some of them were very strange, especially from it's bob. I don't want to assume anything here, so let me ask. Are you saying that MLK's holiday is there only to appease a small segment of society and honors someone who didn't make a sacrifice for the good of the country?

I looked up that and I had not known they gave Veteran's Day so much trouble over the years.

Link = Veterans Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A federal holiday, it is usually observed on November 11. However, if it occurs on a Sunday then the following Monday is designated for holiday leave, and if it occurs Saturday then either Saturday or Friday may be so designated.

Although originally scheduled for celebration on November 11 of every year, starting in 1971 in accordance with the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October. In 1978 it was moved back to its original celebration on November 11 (with the exceptions described above). Since this change, there has been a trend against being closed on the holiday. It began with businesses (excluding banks) and in recent years some schools and local governments have also chosen to remain open.

An interesting story.

The Holiday for our African American hero.

He didn't immigrate from Africa, he was born here.

That makes him an American

Tomorrow, let us all remember those great Americans that died from kidney disease..
I suggest we use the day to write a check for research into kidney health for all.
