  1. Nor can anyone tell me....NOW....but when MLK was around, I would not have been opening talking about it OR showing it, unless I wanted to be swinging.
  2. The point is. Blacks and whites were not doing much of ANYTHING together, peacefully, before his movement. Therefore, regardless if there were 10,000 cases of black guys dating white girls before him...9,820 of them were hung from a tree and the other 180 are still on the run. His fight to end segregation had LOTS to do with the fact I can hold her hand and walk down the street TODAY and not be attacked by people who felt there was a problem with it. Btw, far from a retard....I've forgotten more than you've ever learned.
  3. Well, it seems to me that means he made it possible.
  4. OK....if this is a serious comment....It has to be the absolute dumbest thing I have ever read to date....seriously, dude.
  5. First, I never said anyone was racist. The fact I pointed out I have a white GF was showing that because what MLK fought for made that possible. The fact I am able to do ANYTHING together with the majority is due to what he did. I am sure there are schools that teach differently than others, but I was speaking the education I have/had. I speak from fact, never speculation. More power to Obama for his run for Pres. He has a very good chance to win. However, that has nothing to do with MLK. Always living in the majority makes some ignorant to what other minorities, being ANY other race, not just black have to deal with when it comes to some things.
  6. Nothing wrong with it....Our washer stopped, so I bought another matching set. No need for this dryer now. It says 80 Series on it. Had no longer than 2 years. $110 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/CLovaR1/stuff009.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/CLovaR1/stuff008.jpg
  7. That would be a good thing for you, but each rate cut by the fed puts us closer to a depression.
  8. What most of you fail to realize is everyday is white history day, white history month/year in schools. Every social studies class, history class, or anything that involves the past, is always about the white race. It may not be called "white history", but none of us need to smell shit to know it stinks. To institute one.....1 month, dedicated to the achievements of the black race isn't asking a lot. The reality of the whole thing is "gen y" doesn't know anything about black history. I know it's not being discussed in their homes, so if not forced to learn about it in school....where else does the knowledge come from? Right....right, you don't care eitherway...that's typical. I've read personal views of some on here as on other forums when it comes to race....I've also heard stories of others that use choice terminology amongst their own, hence the reason I stay away from them and threads like these. Therefore, the responses in this thread does not surprise me at all. For anyone that doesn't feel a man like MLK deserves a holiday for what he fought and stood for, doesn't really know what it is he actually did. I guarantee if you ask the majority about him, you'll get, "the I have a dream guy". It goes beyond a single speech. President's Day....That might as well be a white holiday....never been a black president, so you tell me(rhetorical). I typically find that it takes threads like this for some people to voice racial like issues(not calling anyone a racist...if you are,you know it) that they never have the chance to voice in an everyday setting. Never-the-less, I was off today thanks to him, I have the ability to post on this forum, thanks to him...I have two degrees, a great job, a house, and can buy anything I want (within my means), thanks to him...Happy MLK Day!!!! Oh, btw, I have a white GF, too, thanks to him.
  9. Fuck that.....it was New Years....This Chrome wasn't too good for the group..
  10. LMAO....I think you are right...
  11. We're all friends......I promise..
  12. LOL...I love how when discussion like this gets going in a thread...the views of that thread show like (10 viewing)....as if there's an alert being issued to come see.
  13. Whatever, dude...I was born during the day, but not yesterday....or what?
  14. Ohhh, Bananas' issue and Sinner's account stuff....Ahhhh, got it. Interesting how you were willing to write them off on the principle of their issues, but exiled me for $10 over at HNW.....hmmm
  15. That was the other part of the same dream I had...
