It's super weird how MLK became popular once he got killed and white people got to recast him as justifiably aggrieved
Good.Those who would spend their time here not condemning violence speaks volumes.

Yet folks on both ends of the political spectrum can't come together and decry all violence regardless of the target.
Instead they spend all their time trying to prove the other side is more violent (wrong, stupid, misguided, racist, sexist, homophobic, fiscally irresponsible, morally corrupt, etc.) than the other side to win points.
Like the actions of a few wack-jobs on either side represent everyone of that political belief.
You guys are so intent on the battle you don't even know what you are fighting for.
Yup. He'll vote for tax cuts for billionaires if they have to wheel him in on a gurney.
He is honored and remembered for his "I have a dream" speech, as it captures what America should be.
There are too few who honor that legacy today, including anyone who thinks it "belongs" to any one race.
Here is a conservative site favorably reviewing a production of Julius Caeser in 2012, featuring an African American in the title role, who the author admits is likely to be understood as a stand-in for Obama. But praises it nonetheless:

Wow, good find.
Just one more issue the republicans are despicable hypocrites over I guess.
I never in my life thought I'd see a day where a group of grown ass men would wail about a president saluting with a coffee in hand or not having a flag pinned on his lapel, but then go on to give 0fucks about clear obstruction of justice and deeply suspicious connections to the Russians. After savoring just how rank that makes them smell, I feel like my sense of smell is becoming desensitized.
Everyone thinks their dogma is reason.
Going to war over it and shooting people is wrong, regardless of how ugly those folks are or how much they've used angry, violent rhetoric. That's all.
I know a lot of simple folk who like to spice up their food. Trump eats ketchup with his well done steak, more power to him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAvq12Sa3VEAbout this time in Obama's presidency, several months in, Hannity was going on about how when Obama ordered a burger, he wanted "spicy brown mustard" with it instead of the usual yellow mustard that "average people" eat. Apparently this made him an elitist.
Remember - Spicy brown mustard=bad. Firing the FBI director for investigating you=fine.
What you need to do is find what this person thinks of the current production and call him out for hypocrisy IF he is blasting it. Saying that "republicans" are hypocrites based on some dude's review of a different play is a stretch.Wow, good find.

Very petty.That would be one example among many of the amazingly petty criticisms of Obama we heard over the past 8 years.
Who is exaggerating?But still not enough to justify shooting someone, right? Right??? You're not exaggerating to make a point and almost justify the shooting, are you? Are you???
Well, you'll should absolutely LOVE Oscar. You see, his minimalist life style and turning trash into a home speaks volumes about his "Eco-friendly" lifestyle. This should appeal to you all lefests. So in fact, the jokes on you.
That's because we actually paid attention. We know for a goddamn fact that the right literally will not stop threatening and engaging in violence at an utterly disproportionate rate. They have no right whatsoever to go crying about both sides. Unless we drag some actual genuine repentance out of them, they'll just go right on back to ignoring what their guys do or justifying it to themselves. People who need to tell themselves they're oh so above it like the ending of a particularly imbecilic South Park episode are just enabling them to justify themselves.
Think about that when you're trying to tell yourself that your disengagement from reality and your willful ignorance is actually the virtue of being unbiased. All you're doing by claiming that both sides are the same is just giving the worse side a free pass. It's a good thing that your trendy disengagement gives you the basis to know that isn't justifying something truly awful, isn't it?
Self-inflicted? The insanity continues unabated....

"It's time to ask whether the attack on the United States Congress, yesterday, was foreseeable, predictable and, to some degree, self-inflicted." - Scott Pelley (CBS)
-MSNBC host ReidThere’s a whole country out there and a lot of people, at least in my Twitter timeline, and it’s a delicate thing, because everybody is wishing the congressman well and hoping that he recovers, but Steve Scalise has a history that we’ve all been forced to sort of ignore on race ... He also co-sponsored a bill to amend the Constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman. He co-sponsored the House health care bill which, as you said, would gut health care for millions of people including 3 million children and he co-sponsored a bill to repeal the ban on semiautomatic weapons. Because he is in jeopardy and everybody is pulling for him, are we required in a moral sense to put that aside in the moment?
