People forget that Dr. King’s real life was filled with threats, violence & injuries, not speeches and “dreams.”

Dr. King would’ve been 88 this past Friday.

“ When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of #racism , materialism, & militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

    Belief in ’race’ is racism. Prove me wrong…

    Well your claim is inherently flawed. “Race” isn’t something a person believes in, it’s an observation of what is essentially human tribalism throughout history. Even if it were a thing to believe in, racism itself isn’t the belief in race, but the belief that different races (or tribes) of people are inherently worse than others in some ways.

    In other words, your statement is similar to the statement “Belief in ‘sex’ is sexism”, which is hilariously wrong, and of course is predicated on the idea that people “believe” in these things.

        Are you responding to the right person? Because if you intended to reply with that, then clearly your reading comprehension skills match your critical thinking skills.

            You asked me a question wholly irrelevant to my comment to bait out some kind of answer you can challenge rather than actually responding. Did you expect me to answer your question?

            You appear to be allergic to healthy discussion. I’m out.

      Your argument is as inherently flawed as the gender argument and for the same reasons. I’m not here to be mansplained to but thank you. The suprematist whites have tried to prove your point for ever. Define race and then tell me how you prove it scientifically or don’t, but I won’t reply to anything else. I do enjoy your willingness to digress and believe you are here in good faith. Thank you, citizen. One race, human race
