I think the point I was trying to make about Floyd was that he should not be a hero (maybe "martyr" from my previous post was the wrong word because maybe you could make the case that he is depending on what definition you use). Its a tragedy for sure, mainly due to the fact he was a black dude in the wrong place at the wrong time. But...should we be painting murals of him? Its the message not the man.

Guys, did you know that there are rumors that MLK may have been a womanizer? Perhaps even an adulterer? Why would we name streets after someone like this?


Little bit of a stretch with MLK I think.

Ah, good 'ole Franklinville, NJ. That is getting to the redneck portion of NJ.

Have fun explaining to your wife and kids that you lost your job and pension because you're a piece of shit racist. Also, they have their phone number on a sign in the front of the house for their firewood business. Some real fucking Einstein's here.

It pretty stunning that someone can be so consumed by their racism to do something like this. Like I can’t even fathom how much you have to absolutely detest an entire race people to even think about doing something like this, let alone actually go out and do it.

A lot of people are deeply invested in white supremacy because their whiteness is the only meaningful identity for themselves or value they see in themselves. Check out Baldwin and Coates on this.

Maybe not.

It's an intractable problem in so many areas of human achievement: politics, art, science. How far should you go in separating the person from the work?

George Floyd was an anonymous soul until he was killed for being black. Like many souls he had both good and bad. Sometimes you don't choose to be a symbol, but you are anyway.

I think Warz's point is that MLK did a lot, so the comparison is dumb. Dumb point, but, whatever.

I would take any FBI intelligence from the 60's against a black person with the biggest grain of salt I could find.

No doubt.

But if what this guy suspects is true with respect to the incident in the hotel (that an actual audio recording exists), Hoover's awfulness not withstanding, it certainly casts MLK in a different light.

Fishtown group painted "End Racism Now" in big letters on street outside precinct, with police approval. But the city has already begun removing it as part of the deal, they didn't seek a permit to make it permanent. PR stunt

Please let's not make the mistake of underestimating him and what he and others will do to try to get him reelected.



Yeh, that take is much more optimistic than what reality is showing us. He has charges waiting to be filed against him in NY. He will do everything he can to illegally steal the election. If he loses, he will try to get the military behind him for a coup or hold out for legal challenges to the results or any other number of things we haven't thought of because we can't think as low as he and his handlers can.

I honestly can't imagine how anyone could watch the last 3 years and think he is going quietly. He will create chaos and then use it as cover to make his move.[/quote]

I agree that he will not go quietly, but he isn't going to be able to co-opt the military to keep him in office. That's fantasy. If Joe Biden takes the oath of office on January 20, 2021, the military will haul Trump out on his ass if he refuses to leave the White House. His efforts to stay in power will be far more insidious.

The only comfort I take is that the vileness of his administration is surpassed only by its incompetency. Other than Barr (both vile and quite competent), his advisors are Abe Nunez level players.

Sadly, the wife and kids are probably just like him so they will wear it as a badge of honor and more reason to spread their brand of hate.

They will blame it on BLM and/or the AA community and take no personal responsibility which will further fuel their hatred.
