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.”

White supremacists are evil trash that pollute this country.
They are. And they are also useful idiots for the billionaire oligarchs which rule it.
The whole damn world I’d say.
Race isn’t real and if you think it is you’re just as bad.
You’re trying to say that race is not like species because all humans are sexually compatible. Semantically your argument makes sense but historically the idea that race doesn’t matter is absurd. Race basically means those people over there in the other tribe historically.
It’s why we have china killing Tibetans and the Juigars, the civil war in Rwanda and Sudan…
To outsiders these people all look Chinese or African, but racism is very real.
I’m not. I’m saying there is zero way to prove race is a thing. What everyone attributes to race is culture and phenotype. There is nothing inherent in any person that separates them categorically from any other on a scale as large as that. Belief in ’race’ is racism. Prove me wrong… Also, racism makes it matter and it matters a lot. It’s just a social construct though and constructs are not ‘real’ much like gender.
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.
How about your top 10 characteristics that are based on race?
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.
Thanks for the ad hominem instead of an answer.
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
Race isn’t real but the effects of enforcing it are, what a weird comment this is
And the lasting effects even once it stops being actively enforced
Well that’s just obvious and not really remarkable unlike the acceptance (or rejection) of ‘race’ as an idea, making your comment weirder. Weird on, weirdo!
