Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is absolutely one of my favorite men in the world! He is the apotheosis of a Sancti-Fly Papa Star who embodied the moral character of an American black man even when America did not. When I look back over my life I am explicitly appreciative of all the roadblocks he helped to expose for the betterment of myself and other folks who were born as God’s child. You really have no choice being born in the skin color you are born with. It appears to me we are in a strange land when we are continuously fighting for the exact same things in 2019 that Dr. King labored for during the love and light he shared while living. Lord knows Dr. King was instrumental in making enormous progress for civil rights, human rights, and that good old fashion equality we still thirst for. Collectively, we have all benefited from his righteousness that exalted the United States of America and other nations. His dream lives on!
Please be boldly encouraged and less passive when it comes to anything that is unjust which directly or indirectly affects you, your family, and your community. You have every right to get involved in public policy. So many women have ran for office and won during this era. You can do it too! Just because laws are enacted does not mean it is just. History already showed us that truth!
One of the very passions we adore about Dr. King is how he loved and served others. He was not a perfect man. No one is. You can't deny he gave his life functioning as a champion for others. He has shown and produced one of the greatest strengths that a lot of folks fall short of on a daily basis. What is in your heart, mind, and thoughts? Love was on his mind at all times!
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." How true is this statement during these times?
Some of us profess to be followers of Christ but will not SPEAK UP on any social, economic or political issues when you know it is wrong. You turn your head away from inhumanity, injustice, and racism when you could use your voice and privilege to make things right. That little black boy from Atlanta didn't. Dr. King looked those spirits in the face and gave them all some righteousness. He was bold as a lion.
This is the gospel truth! Dr. King knew he could not sit around and wait for the oppressor to give him what was legally his as an American citizen, who just happen to be born a black man. He demanded it!
We are living in such dark times right now! Dr. King lived through some of those dark times. He didn't hate no one. He may have had every right to do so but he did not! He had a power that some were baffled about and others personified that same power. Hate cannot drive out hate. You need love to do that! This is exactly what Dr. King did successfully.
The time is always right to do what is right, not what is easy. Dr. King had superlative character. We can all learn something from Dr. King.
Dr. King certainly was not shy about calling out or speaking against white supremacy. I believe folks love to be safe with certain words and speeches concerning Dr. King but they know he was radical in his nonviolent movement.
This is power! Dr. King refused to hate those who were doing all the oppression and overt wickedness to him and those souls he was fighting for. There is not a lot of us who can exercise this kind of tolerance.
What are you doing for others? Do you think your life is only about you? I can answer that, no. It is not. Dr. King was a man every child can look up to.
When black folks were told they were not human beings but only 3/5 of a person this residual law leaked down through history and they were not seen as beautiful, worthy, human or God's child. I don't understand how those who have been held to the highest form of beauty, worthiness, and humanness all of their lives, can ever feel some kind of way about black people lifting up themselves and their culture.
You will make your life more purposeful and that void you have in your heart will be satisfied by a refined quality as you help fight for the rights of equality in every aspect, on every street and in every nation. Dr. King was born to fight for others.
Exactly, keep on moving. Keep on loving. Keep on being positive! Keep on building! Keep on supporting! Keep on dreaming!
Kudos to Ms. Sarah Lee and the Southeast Asian communities. Keep on fighting!
We are watching! We are listening! We are certainly learning.
God bless the man who lived life on purpose and in his purpose so that all folks (especially black folks) would have an opportunity to the pie of purpose!
Yes, Dr. King got to the ROOT of the problem. Yes, he made folks feel uncomfortable and think twice about their decisions. I am so glad he did what he did.
Wow! "A blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds on the question of justice."
Let that sink in!
Let that sink in!
Check out this tweet from a man that calls himself LEFT. I surmise this is the part of Dr. King we really do not know that much about.
This is the radical King people do not know about. I encourage you to purchase a collection of his speeches.
