Would MLK smack Al and Jesse in the face if he were alive today and saw what kind of 'leaders' they were?

Question

Or would he be proud of them and how he keeps black in a constant state of victim hood and everything is the white man's fault?

Answer 1

No, but it would be funny as hell to see.

Answer 2

He probably wouldn't smack them but he would lash out at them for making blacks seem as though they can't accomplish anything and everything should be handed to them.

He would espouse hard-work and education like he did back in the 50s and 60s and he will tell us to take advantage of the opportunities we have and stop 'blaming whitey' for everything.

Answer 3

i think he would not use violence, but the pen is mightier than the sword. he would have written a profound and powerful speech on how these two (without naming names) keep minorities depressed and victims, and profit from their state of misery. he would slay them with is words and make them run into the forest and hide of shame and we would not have to see or listen to them ever again.
amen brotha!

Answer 4

I think Jesse Jackson and MLK Jr knew each other. Let me add, that Jesse Jackson does not blame everything on white people. He thinks hip hop for example is a bad influence on young people.

NOW FOR SOME EXCELLENT MLK QUOTES

"The war has strengthened domestic reaction. It has given the extreme right, the anti-labor, anti-*****, and anti-humanistic forces a weapon of spurious patriotism to galvanize its supporters into reaching for power, right up to the White House. It hopes to use national frustration to take control and restore the America of social insecurity and power for the privileged. When a Hollywood performer, lacking distinction even as an actor can become a leading war hawk candidate for the Presidency, only the irrationalities induced by a war psychosis can explain such a melancholy turn of events."

"The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism. All people of goodwill viewed with alarm and concern the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right. The "best man" at this ceremony was a senator whose voting record, philosophy, and program were anathema to all the hard-won achievements of the past decade.

"It was both unfortunate and disastrous that the Republican Party nominated Barry Goldwater as its candidate for President of the United States. In foreign policy Mr. Goldwater advocated a narrow nationalism, a crippling isolationism, and a trigger-happy attitude that could plunge the whole world into the dark abyss of annihilation. On social and economic issues, Mr. Goldwater represented an unrealistic conservatism that was totally out of touch with the realities of the twentieth century. The issue of poverty compelled the attention of all citizens of our country. Senator Goldwater had neither the concern nor the comprehension necessary to grapple with this problem of poverty in the fashion that the historical moment dictated. On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represented a philosophy that was morally indefensible and socially suicidal."

Answer 5

seeing as how MLK was one of the most corrupt historical figures of our country, I suspect he would be worse than the other two put together.

Answer 6

While I respect what he did, MLK is vastly over-rated and would probably be doing EXACTLY what Al and Jesse are doing now.

Answer 7

No, he was non-violent, but he certainly wouldn't let them be associated with him unless they changed their ways. Martin was everything that those smucks aren't. He used logic and reason to promote his "ideals" and not for personal gain. We could use a good man like him again.

Answer 8

MLK is turning in his grave over such shenanigans

Answer 9

No, he was a non-violent person. But like almost everybody else, he would see that they were both full of it.

Answer 10

Good question. Hard to answer except I don't remember him being as Radical or Racist as those two.
