    No. No I won't. I'm not MLK. I'm half Malcolm. And you don't know what he'd accept America being called. And off the old sailor your referring to is @MarAzul, I think you're mistaken about his intentions with this thread.

    Edit: and here you go again with the come to Jesus moments. I really want you to stop doing that. You don't have any come to Jesus moments with him. Only me. I'm good...

    And I'm not sure that ol dog can learn a new trick...

    All the more reason to attempt to project some clarity though ...I don't need to know someone's intention to speak with them in a civil way or at least try. I'm an agnostic as well but wisdom comes in many forms...MLK, Gandhi, Ben Franklin, on and on.

    Well then read what other black men sort of damn near take for scripture. I did not invent the idea.

    that's unnecessary..dviss strikes me as a well read intelligent man....better to discuss the topic from an inclusive human platform and not stereotype ...I think your post is devoid of the topic. Read what I linked from Martin Luther King above...great wisdom to be found if one cares to gain insight

    Now this is racist. You can quit while you're behind. You don't know WTF you're talking about and I'm done with this thread now.

    It's full of shit.

    If King had made it a little longer, I think he would have had Gandhi down cold.
    As it was, he still had too much Georgia in the accent. The cadence was spot on though.

    Well we have another nomination for what racist is. Not quite sure I can articulate it though. Is there any help?

    Let me be straight forward with you. What do you find unnecessary? Did you read the reference? do you know the story?
    Does dviss know? Malcomb did.

    American racism is a valid observation. Racism broken down is race system (ism =system) America has a unique system

    something you'd never say to Dr King...why direct this at me? My generation did more for civil rights than any American era in our history...and I'm not preaching anything to convert anybody...have your opinion and voice it....I won't walk on egg shells having mine any more than you will..

    Perhaps you can fill in the blanks. What is unnecessary?

    Rather strange you lost the trail river. I think it was right on target with about the only new input, the devil in this thread.
