    Yes or No?
    Get a grip son! I was listening to a radio show where the guy on the radio was speaking to James. I thought that was clear from the fucking get go.
    You know, VHF antenne, clear signal! Radio lad, radio!

    But it was the innuendo that caught my attention. Very much like a heck of a lot of you guys do in this forum daily, without a connection.

    Oh!
    I am in a wonderful spot, about 50 miles North of LA, across the Strait from Ana Cappa and the other Channel Islands. Warm here, friendly people,
    no complaints. Just working down my list of small shit on the boat.

    The "black guy" is supposed to be MLK, is it not?

    MLK was indeed a Real American.

    MLK would never discourage free speech, and was in fact a champion of freedom for all Americans.

    Thus, the "artist" is clueless, misrepresenting MLK in an attempt at revisionist history.

    MLK was in fact, a lot more like Donald Trump than most snowflakes realize, because they've never actually studied him or any other US historical figures.

    You misrepresented my post.

    As a moderator you should know the difference.

    What was MLK's view on taking roids to cheat struggling black men out of their jobs?

    Nor did I imply it wasn't the case, as you are implying. Or is it inferring?

    It is a given that MLK was a Real American. One who fought for freedom and equality for all, unlike the Democratic Party. He has a Federal Holiday named after him. Had I been aware that you knew nothing at all about him I would have been more specific. I forget most people have relied on public schooling and therefore have a warped view of actual events and people.

    MLK, much like myself, believed in equal rights for all Americans. Regardless of race. So it's ludicrous and clueless to portray him silencing another American's voice.

    That is what I posted. You are trying to twist my post into something it was not.

    Danged if I know what he thought of roids? Perhaps no more than me as I had only heard of hemorrhoids in those days.
    I am pretty sure MLK cheated some out of job though, studying Gandhi push him over the top.

    If you had meant to call MLK a Real American you would have called him a Real American. You didn't until AFTER I pointed it out to you.

    Not even close.

    My entire post was:

    MLK infringing on a Real American's Freedom of Speech?

    The "artist" is clueless about more than just her/his subjects.

    Exactly, you only called Trump a real american. Which proved that you're the one who knows nothing about MLK and his legacy.

    I didn't call MLK anything, I was commenting on the artist's very Un-American portrayal of him.

    I was commenting on the painting that portrayed MLK committing a very Un-American act which he would never have done.

    I take it you don't know many artists? They like to pretend they are deep thinkers, and use symbolism in everything.

    The painting's symbolism is this:

    MLK as an evil Censor (so NOT a Real American) silencing The American President, who of course symbolizes Real Americans everywhere.

    The artist is denying MLK was a Real American, claiming he fought against Freedom of Speech, which of course is ridiculous and clueless as I posted.

    Got it?
