Dok, you are being so unfair. Everyone knows that Dr. King would not be remembered today if it was not for the fact that after his "I Have a Dream" speech he then immediately marched up to the Capitol, attacked the police, and then took off his buffalo head pieced and pooped all over Speaker McCormack's desk. That is why in contemporary news reports it was called the "I Have to Poop" speech until liberals used Critical Race Theory and changed the name.
Along the way, Fellows notes that King and his associates were falsely accused — just like the nice people trying to undo the 2020 election! — of being a "threat to democracy,” which he notes is a false claim anyway because "it's supposed to be a Constitutional Republic."
No snark: One of the most damaging things that Republicans have done is teach their sheep this stupid idea that "we are not a democracy, we are a constitutional republic," as if one cancels the other. They of course have had to do this because Republican ideas have never been held by a majority of people (and, even less, conservative ideas, and even less, Trumpian ideas), and yet their party exist only if they can overcome the democratic voice of the majority.
We are a democracy, with power held by the citizenship. Our form of government is a representative constitutional republic. But ever single founder would roll his eyes over the idea that we were not a democracy.
In case no-one else brought it up... seems to me there's another man who wrote stuff in jail (whiny, self-pitying stuff too, just like his) that he'd identify with far more readily that with Dr King.
Personally, I am amazed that they even know the Universe existed all that time in the past, never mind knowing a couple of irrelevant details about it.
Look. If you're going to compare yourself to MLK, then you oughta go all in and stand on the second floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4.
I've been on an official tour of Congress, on a school trip. We rode the Congressional subway trolley, we visited our Congressperson, Illinois Senators had a regular breakfast Q&A session with any constituent in town. There weren't riot police or literal poo flingings like a zoo animal.
I loved those books when I was a lad! My Grandmother used to read them to me. I remember she glossed over the N-word in one of them. Something she couldn't pull off when she read me Huck Finn.
Righto.
"I will share that some people remarked that they were going to stab me for suggesting these had similarities..."
My god. Did Damon Runyon write this???
Oscar WIlde?
Keep your own mouthpiece for the day, totally allowed

I'll get the Tremclad.

He did two hours ago. Now? Who knows?
