J. Jay's Jabberwocky / WWJD (What Would Jay Do): Aug. 26, 2013 - PPM

This week all the major networks are running commemorative shows because of the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s " I Have a Dream" speech from 1963.

The most quoted passage from the speech is:

“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.”

In reality, Obama WAS elected because of the color of his skin and NOT by his character. How can you explain that 95% of African Americans supported Obama?

What is unbelievable is how the first African-American President and Attorney General say that we haven't made any progress on Civil Rights. Reality should use a mirror.

But what is "Weapons Grade" irony is the outrage over the paraphrased MLK quote on his DC statue.

MLK was infamously caught plagiarizing by Boston University where King received his Ph.D. in systematic theology. They conducted an investigation that found he plagiarized major portions of his doctoral thesis from various other authors. Paraphrasing / Plagiarizing - whatever.

That aside, I find King's speeches inspirational and prophetic. Unfortunately, Rev. Martin Luther King's dream didn't die, it was murdered by the very agenda being preached in his name today.

My PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is the self proclaimed leaders of the Civil Rights movement.

To have the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton attempt to carry King's message does a monumental disservice.

Rev. Jesse Jackson says the "Tea Party is the resurrection of the Confederacy." Really? The Tea Party tenets are: Fiscal Responsibility, Limited Government, and Free Markets. Where is the racism?

Jackson was asked this week about the death of a white Australian baseball player at the hands of minorities because they were bored. He said that the incident was "frowned upon." Measure that, against his response on Treyvon Martin. Who is the racist?

Sharpton has never apologized or acknowledged his errors in the Towanda Braxton affair.

Jackson and Sharpton do more harm than good. They are race baiters at best. They are ignorant media whores at worst.

I believe MLK would have taken Sharpton and Jackson to task on their inflammatory rhetoric. Unfortunately their hubris goes unchallenged by the media.

It's not surprising that some will call the below picture racist. Facts are your friends.
