Say Anything Blog

I was asked this about two years ago!  It was one of those Truth moments.
Read the responses here.  It totally caught me off guard, but the replies were, truthful and honest.

Communism is evil

I heard his name on the radio, (a gangsta station my buddies like…), and my English isn’t the best.  I thought his name was Kennel X.  My sister-in-law saw him on TV, and said he is a “handsom dog”?

Is “handsom dog” a reference to that actor Snooppy-dog?

English is harder than it seems.

Chief:

I just read some of the comments on your site as to whether MLK could have been president in this day and age.

Great stuff, and some of the commenters brought up some of the same points I wrote in my piece.

And, yes, I think he could have been a contender. Obama isn’t a fraction of what he was. Neither are the other “leaders” I mentioned in my piece.

Damn, Bro. And you say I am on this morning! Excellent piece, it is winging its way across the pond to DissidentFrogman as soon as I am done here.

Again. Damn, Bro.

Thanks Pilgrim, didn’t want to overshadow, but thought some more perspectives couldn’t hurt.  It was indeed a hard hitting question from out of the blue!

Communism is evil

Thanks for pointing out this post to me. My only quibble (I seem to have a lot of those lately) would be that when King was alive he addressed the entirety of American society. I suppose that’s somewhat implied in your post but it doesn’t hurt to be explicit about it. Particularly when there still remain those who would try to preserve or create a divide. King’s dream wasn’t just for black America. To the extent that his dream may not yet be fully realised we all carry the responsibility for that.

It is amazing still that despite human nature and proclivities American society is one of the most, if not the most, diverse societies on the planet.

In any case King is long since dead. It’s our job now.

I have to laugh a little every time the Conservative I’m not a raciest crowd talks about equality and race. It’s sort of like a joke. It’s really funny, can’t call me a racist, it’s not my fault they just can’t keep up.

Equality for all those who meet the criteria based on its need. I can deal with that, not like those stupid liberals with their stupid hand outs.

I don’t know I happen to like Louis Farakhan, but then I really don’t see why racism is still an issue. Racism is perfectly healthy and natural.

Racism is perfectly healthy and natural.

That’s the stupidest effing thing I’ve ever read in my life. Only a liberal would say such a thing and think it was okay.

Furthermore, Wetback, how does my admiration for King equate to me being some kind of closet racist?

Liberal logic at its best.

There was much, very much to be admired about MLK. He was a truly great Orator; and despite Chrissy Matthews getting a warm feeling in his pants when Obama speaks, you simply cannot honestly compare his oratorical skills to MLK. Obama does not reach his level by a long shot. MLK was able through civil disobedience and his speeches and his rejection of violence to end racism, to stir a nation’s emotions and he is one of the top 10 people in our nation’s history.

He was not a god or a saint! He was not superman! He was at the very least comfortable with the idea of communism as a means to ending social inequities. He was an admirer of people like Ghandi, which tells me was much influenced by human philosophy versus the image we generally have of his strong Christian beliefs. I didn’t add these comments to damn MLK with faint praise above and then attack him here, I genuinely admired him, but it is terribly important that we keep him on the human level and not deify him.

Would he have become President had he not been killed? Absolutely not! He was at that time a terribly polarizing figure, he was disdainful of both political parties and he was not a big fan of capitalism.

In keeping silent about evil, in burying it deep within us, so that it appears nowhere on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future.

Good comment Neiman,

And you’re right. He was not a superman, but a very human man. He was a known philanderer and much has been made of that.

None of which changes what he did or his message.

Here’s a little teaser:
It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S’s: Slavery, Secession, Segregation and now Socialism.

Pilgrim: I’m not saying your a racist, your just scared of death of being labeled a racist, like most Everybody. But you know in all honesty, with all things being fare that the majority of black people can not compete statistically.

Admit it. There has to be special attention for them, call me a racist but you know deep down that I speak the truth.  Society don’t make a person who they are right?

So the Left admits it and says “Here you go” the right says Everyone is Equal so long as everything is equal, you know the big right joke. And both of you the Right and the Left are more Racist than I am.

I say: Hey brother I wish you the best of luck, It sucks to be you. Its not a matter of skin color, come on, how long are we gonna go on with that?

I probably have more black friends than some of you who post here. I even use to smoke up with my boy Black Al around my way, thats what we use to call him, and no he didn’t sell. And when I see him I always say Whats up cause he’s the only nigger that I know that I see in my neck of the woods.

Believe me I have a damn heart, but I also think ultra right. I’m a Christian but than I think like Nietzsche.

I’m not the one who is hiding behind truths and evading any titles like the ones you all label me with. I have been pretty honest here.

So again every time I see Conservatives talk about Equality or Race I laugh.

It’s like the joke “What was the Civil War about?” States rights right? States rights to what? Come on don’t tell me you never thought or even laughed about it that way.

Furthermore, Wetback, how does my admiration for King equate to me being some kind of closet racist?

Liberal logic at its best.

Don’t get all mad at me now Pilgrim you know I still love you.

“WETBACK” is pure parody.

  Focusing on two words here.  The Truth.  Using illegal drugs will handicap a person’s ability to learn, operate and compete in society.  Finally, revealed!!  These people intentionally choose to handicap themselves, then want us to ignore that fact.  In the military this is not an issue because of real, random drug testing.  People are on a level playing field and enjoy a fairly good lifestyle and honest competition for jobs, promotion and rewards.  Glad to see The Truth come out.  Finally.

Communism is evil

I kind of have to give Wetback some credit on this one. Not that I don’t think he’s wrong or that he’s not an idiot. He is wrong and he is an idiot.

But at least he sticks to his guns and is as straightforward in his argument as he can be - must be that Oxford education, no doubt - and in some ways I think he’s a more honest commenter than some of our resident leftoids.

Either that or, as Likwidshoe said, he’s commenting as parody, which would make him smarter than any of us are giving him credit for. Hmmmmmm…...

Nah.

If the “in parody” meme is applied to all his comments then he has remained in character rather well. Perhaps this is actually Trey Parker or one of Conehead O’Brien’s script editors moonlighting in the blogverse.

Or it actually is a mentally damaged, racist piece of crap as we always suspected. Pick your option. I chose the derision, heaping upon, category a couple of years ago.
