MLK Memorial - Made in China

Probably would have been easier to get Non-Organized labor to donate their time. Can you imagine the unionized man-power it would have taken for this project ?
1 Shop Steward
2 Someone to hold the chisel
3 Someone to swing the hammer
4 Someone to pour Quickrete into wheelbarrow
5 Someone to add water to Quickrete
6 Someone to stir mixture
7 Someone to shovel mixture out
8 And so on and so on................................................

You should have stopped at the Shop Stupid 😀

The fact that the King family found it necessary to source this from communist & Godless China is even more galling to his memory and own writings:

If you are not the targeted audience, you just don't get it.

You just proved the necessity for the separation of church and state.

How do you figure? By illustrating that the nation with one of the worst records on human rights is one that bans the practice of religion?...

My apology. I may have read something that wasn't there on your post. Sorry.

He was in Memphis to support a strike by sanitation workers. Most conservative republicans probably would not do that.

The book is based on recorded interviews conducted in 1964 by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. with Jacqueline Kennedy. It quotes Jackie as saying that JFK had told her “of a tape that the FBI had of Martin Luther King…how he was calling up all these girls and arranging for a party of men and women, I mean, sort of an orgy in the hotel, and everything.” Jackie said her response to this was that such conduct was “terrible” and that King was “such a phony.” Jackie adds, “Since then, Bobby’s told me of the tapes of these orgies they have and how Martin Luther King made fun of Jack’s funeral.”

Told you he was Republican

Did anyone hear of the latest proposal?

The state has decided that only women workers will be paid for staying home on declared inclement weather days.

The men don't have the home obligation of taking care of the kids and are better equipped to be able to make it to work in inclement weather.

Therefore, they will be required to come to work to get paid.

Below are 8 Quotations. Four each from Dr. Martin Luther King and Dr Ron Paul. See if you can figure out who said each one without going to www.brainyquote.com. Let's see how you do. These two are great Americans for whom Freedom and Liberty weren't abstract concepts.

1. Truth is treason in the empire of lies

2. Our country's founders cherished liberty, not democracy.

3. He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

4. Legitimate use of violence can only be that which is required in self-defense.

5. Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.

6. You don't have freedom because you are a hyphenated American; you have freedom because you are an individual, and that should be protected.

7. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

8. Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

So with all these posts slathering over the Chinese concept which is being slowly implemented here (while you are asleep at the wheel) who advised the people who made the statue of the wording to be on it??

I chose this thread rather than starting a new one.

My mistake.

BTW, what I put in quotes was not an actual MLK quote.

Anyone who has studied the sanitation workers strike would understand.

Keep it going.....so what.

I wonder who advised on the wording......it wasn't lost on translation.....ideology/agenda more so I'd bet.

Anyone in MSM have the stones to follow it?

NO

You neglected to mention Black...........

The Garbage Men on strike in Memphis were among the bravest men in US history. They had the simplest and Best Slogan

You neglected to mention Black...........

I merely substituted a different class of people in the statement.

During a heavy rainstorm in Memphis on February 1, 1968, two black sanitation workers had been crushed to death when the compactor mechanism of the trash truck was accidentally triggered. On the same day in a separate incident also related to the inclement weather, 22 black sewer workers had been sent home without pay while their white supervisors were retained for the day with pay. About two weeks later, on February 12, more than 1,100 of a possible 1,300 black sanitation workers began a strike for job safety, better wages and benefits, and union recognition. Mayor Henry Loeb, unsympathetic to most of the workers' demands, was especially opposed to the union. Black and white civic groups in Memphis tried to resolve the conflict, but the mayor held fast to his position.

I celebrate MLK on his birth date (1/15/29) holiday for what he has done to move our nation forward.

Now I will let this thread die again.

I created the quote below to start this thread going again:

Yes, it was all about ideology/agenda.
