What masters, and would getting more the questions correct make racist? You have right to prejudice just not the right to turn them into action. All of this can't overshadow the fact that MLK Jr. fought for civil rights. He wanted act like white who likes to commit adultery.
ReplyDeleteand at the end of the day we still have a holiday oh yes and a thomas rob holiday
ReplyDeleteThe comments can get pretty entertaining sometimes. Tyranny does not show itself in naked form. Communism masks itself as a just cause, and pits classes against each other everywhere that it takes root. MLK was just a Communist puppet. A preacher was the perfect man for the job, because America was very Christian at the time, and pastors were respected.
ReplyDeleteCommunism is the only economic system that has never failed-by the way- and capitalism is unjust, unethical, wrong and unchristian.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous who said Communism is the only system that never failed. Are you serious? Communism failed miserably, because the government tried to micromanage every facet of the country. People ended up waiting in line for hours at a time just for 1 product. Communism has turned out to be one of the greatest failures in the history of government.
ReplyDeleteCommunism has never failed. It ensures economic equality. With communism everyone is ensured a job and decent pay for every family. Your idea of failure just says that you are lazy. There are people who work hard than some of the richest people in the world and they can barely afford to feed their family. We witnessed failure with capitalism when a man had to wait days to get a job. The American man stood outside the dock for a job and a majority of these men went back to their families with nothing in hand.
ReplyDeleteOK, so which Communist country are you living in while you type these words?
ReplyDeleteI just want to say that America is not a society comparable to that of "1984." And Martin Luther King Jr. was a good man, who altered the world...you need to respect him!
ReplyDeleteThe country that I am living in as I type these words is the United States of America!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you, 12 years old? You don't even realize how silly you look admitting that you live in the United States of America but love Communism?
ReplyDeleteGood grief, what are all these kids doing on this blog? They are littering the comment section with their regurgitated lessons from the public education system.
My point was not to be made that I love communism, and I do not think that the US should become communist; we are far to large of a nation for that, it would not work successfully. My point was that capitalism does not work. The government needs to intervene, without it 90% of our population would live in poverty. Communism is brilliant and if it were implemented a hundred years ago the US would be far better off.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, I am 26 years old and a graduate of the University of Colorado in social sciences.
