Remember MLK's "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”? That’s an ideal worth defending. But do liberals even believe it anymore? They can’t, not if the likely Democratic presidential nominee is telling black people that if they don’t vote for him, they aren’t really black. Look, we have all known that Democrats have worked this double standard to their own advantage for a long time, but as we move into an America in which whites are no longer a majority — as will be the case by 2050 — more whites are going to start voting openly on racial interests, and we’re going to see white politicians campaigning openly on racial identity politics, as the Democrats do today. And on what grounds will liberals condemn them?

How can a person be treated seriously or respectably when they abbreviate a human being below 4 digits, especially such a person of historical prowess and importance?

The tragedy of the Twin Towers, New York was the 11th September, 2001 not 911.

MLK was a theist, that should give many liberals pause to reconsider the value of religious exposure. That said you have to ask what kind of theist.

I'm no expert on MLK but I assume the quotes in this article are reasonably representative of his views.

What strikes me is how effective the civil rights movement was compared to the anti war and leftist movements of the 60s. It wasn't until the left took on the characteristics of a religious cult with SJWs, third wave feminism and post modernism that it really gained a foothold. It seems that killing God may not of been a good idea. The question then is was the kind of liberation theology that MLK may have subscribed to and the current pope seems to as dangerous and corrupting as Marx tends to be?

White liberals seem to have embraced a different vision than the liberation theologians. They have what they feel is a more scientific perspective. One in which freewill is a naive concept but freewill must be central to a religious belief system, with the possible exception of Calvinism and other similar systems. Certainly Baptist tradition is at odds with denial of freewill. The most famous MLK quote concerning character highlights the difference. In the absence of freewill character is an oxymoron. The various groups that make up the left seem to have diametrically opposing positioning. Conflict seems unavoidable?

In other posts I have talked about my problems with Marxism. I really don't see it as much more than a 19th century cult that borrowed most of it's ideas from earlier movements such as those active at the time of the French Revolution. It suffers from a basic misunderstanding of the nature of civilization. Character and freewill are abstract social constructs necessary for civilized society. Do we give the pope and MLK a pass on confusion over the nature of Marxism?

@dd54

I didn't say he was a "Marxist". I only used the article for the quotes and to familiarize people with liberation theology. Are the pope and MLK liberation theologists? I think that depends on how much of an ideology you think has to be attributable to a specific influence to label it within a broader framework.

Very few people are actually Marxist but In a survey I saw 60 percent of people in the UK thought Marx was a legitimate philosopher worth considering. His influence is sufficiently subtle but wide spread enough in the intellectual community that it is worth highlighting here. Personally I think Marx was a spiteful mutant.

Christianity is an eschatological reform movement of Judaism in it's conception. It's focus on the life here after as opposed to the earthly concerns of Judaism can be a distraction from practical concerns. The fact that over time it became a religion in it's own right preserved the original doctrine but only to a degree. The original doctrine as it turned out was impractical. A side effect of the protestant reformation was unsurprisingly the protestant work ethic. You can question whether it is real or if it confirms to the original doctrine or not but it reflects a rational evolution. Still the nature of the original doctrine has colored Western Civilization. The reason that you don't see something analogous to Marxism in Chinese history could very well be Christianity.

Do as I say; not as I do
Democrats exploit the young, dumb naive and idealistic.
The democratic leadership that causes all the problems, wouldn’t think of letting their “constituents” inside the guarded walls of their enclave.
Leftist propaganda media thrives on the filthy lucre partisan politics flows through them and the sell fear for profit.

Perfect on point just add the word EVIL

I think submissive in this context might mean not totally bat nuts crazy and violent. 60 years of feminism.

Unfortunately all too many Western men who go to Asia to get wives lost in love and marriage here in the West. They are kind of like Western feminist in reverse. Many are unattractive in many ways also, just like the feminazis.

After a quarter century of Black Rap Music Thug Gang Criminal Culture I do judge blacks on their character. In fact that was the intent of Rap Music. IT was to show white culture that we are going to act out all of the black negative stenotype that you accuse us of. They have done a wonderful job too.
As for whites losing the majority, that is a lie. If you walk some of the large East Coast beach resorts, on the boardwalk you see a sea of white. They use this lie because all you have to be is a small portion of minority blood to be considered a minority when you are mostly white. IF you are a numerically positive person of mostly white blood quorum, the left spends extra effort in music, entertainment and media to convince you that you are a minority when you are not really! I will tell you this also. Just look around and at entertainment. The hybrid female of mixed blood is often more attractive than her white counterpart. Yes, this is true. Many males see this and choose accordingly. High end photographers and artist for example are know to date and marry Asian women due to their evolutionary symmetrical facial features that many artist are attracted too. Over a long period of time we will be a very mixed culture because of these phenomena.

I have 4 fairly close friends, men who married Asian women. All from different walks of life, from Germany, England, Australia and an American from Pennsylvania. All said in so many words the reason they married Asian women is because they are submissive. The Aussie’s exact words.. Asian Sheila’s don’t give you bloody shit!! Lol!! Now, the reason Asian women like Caucasian men... from the german’s wife. They are generous and have bigger ticklers. Lol!!!! Funny how love was never mentioned.
