DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY
- Thread starter bulletsponge920
- Start date
-i agree MLK was a great man, but some people twist his words and his thoughts on certain views i as a southerner from the great state of alabama can be one of the first and probably the only one to say this but MLK's dream is alive more today than every before, but we still have racism on both sides of the color barrier and we should all work together to close those gaps.
-its sad that there are people today that still hold grudges for things our ancestors did close to a century ago and some movies an music that you hear today teaches hatred towards also.
-anyway i hope my ramblings have reach some of you

@ cutthroat, you're right. I agree with you. But racism isn't something we'll see gone in our lifetime. Sad to say, but... it's still too touchy of a subject. You can't say the word "black" in a sentence w/out wondering "does this sound racist?" or "is someone going to perceive this as racist?"
The tension of the matter is still too taut, and as long as it is that way, the wound will never heal.

One of the funniest comedy sketches ever... But comedians are honestly the best help toward healing racism (IMO) because they're not scared to play around on that border (dave chapelle, richard pryor, robin williams, ralphie may, titus, kevin hart, and katt williams) and it desensitizes ppl toward it. Again, this is my opinion. I'm not trying to start arguments or anything like that. But that video I posted is freaking hilarious.
