I have a dream, that minimum wage will be raised to $15/hour, so that people working 40 hours a week could survive on their wages, and would no longer need public aid.
I have a dream, that a law will be passed disallowing corporate CEOs and business managers to earn more than 25 times what their lowest paid employee earns, so that if they want rake in the really big bucks, they'll have to pay their employees some bigger bucks, first.
I have a dream, that a law will be passed disallowing retired legislators and their staff from ever working for or becoming paid professional lobbyists.
I have a dream, that the Supreme Court will one day return to it's senses and reverse the precedent treating corporations as "people", having the same rights as individual human beings.

Well, we already know how it was deemed, it's been years since Cosby gave that speech. Some applauded, some disagreed, and it provided a chance to bring these things out in the open and talk them over.
Here's something I've thought about and think it's applicable to the difficulties inherent in breaking out of the cycle of poverty, unemployment and lack of education. There's something called "learned helplessness" and here's a short description that can be found at the link:
In the learned helplessness experiment an animal is repeatedly hurt by an adverse stimulus which it cannot escape.
Eventually the animal will stop trying to avoid the pain and behave as if it is utterly helpless to change the situation.
Finally, when opportunities to escape are presented, this learned helplessness prevents any action.
The only coping mechanism the animal uses is to be stoical and put up with the discomfort, not expending energy getting worked up about the adverse stimulus.
When you have multiple generations dealing with the same sorts of problems that originated first in slavery then in segregation and then a lingering prejudice built up and piled on for decades is it possible that there can be a certain hopelessness that sets in that can be immobilizing and paralyzing? That because there's so little hope seen that anything can or will change, that people give up? It's very easy to tell people to fix themselves.Eventually the animal will stop trying to avoid the pain and behave as if it is utterly helpless to change the situation.

George Mason University professor Walter E. Williams puts it: “The welfare state has done to black Americans what slavery couldn't do, what Jim Crow couldn't do, what the harshest racism couldn't do. And that is to destroy the black family.” Hoover Institution Fellow Thomas Sowell concurs: “The black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and discrimination, began rapidly disintegrating in the liberal welfare state that subsidized unwed pregnancy and changed welfare from an emergency rescue to a way of life.”

Really, over the course of slave history in the U.S., do you think all slave families lived together in the same house as intact families? That their kids grew up with mom and dad available to them?
Families were often split apart in Africa before being shipped here, and even if they did manage to arrive together, families or couples were likely to be sold separately once here. While laws and practices differed from state to state and region to region there were times and places where slaves weren't legally allowed to marry. And they were always subject to the whim of their masters:
Economic benefit almost always outweighed considerations of family ties for planters, even those who were advocates of long-lasting relationships between slaves. Because of the high premium placed on male labor, throughout every period of American slavery, black men were the most likely to be parted from their families. For slave owners, who considered the basic family unit to be comprised of mother and child, husbands and fathers could be, and were, easily replaced. Many a slave woman was assigned a new husband by her master. Male children were also frequently taken from slave mothers. The bond between an enslaved mother and daughter was the least likely to be disturbed through sale. Yet this tie was also fragile. Owners could reap large returns by selling pretty girls, especially light-skinned ones, into prostitution or concubinage.
The possibility of separation was an ever-present threat to every member of a slave family. When a master died, his slaves might be indiscriminately distributed among his heirs or sold off to multiple buyers. When a planter's child was born or married, he or she might receive the gift of a black attendant. Mothers were taken from their own children to nurse the offspring of their masters. And slave children were torn from mothers and brought into the house to be raised alongside the master's sons and daughters.

Slavery could - and did - destroy families.

And I'm saying that to frame the argument in that way - that "The welfare state has done to black Americans what slavery couldn't do... destroy the black family..."
Slavery did do it. Long before the welfare state.

And from your link:
Johnson further claimed that his programs would bring to an end the “conditions that breed despair and violence,” those being “ignorance, discrimination, slums, poverty, disease, not enough jobs.” Of particular concern to Johnson was the disproportionately high rate of black poverty. In a famous June 1965 speech, the president suggested that the problems plaguing black Americans could not be solved by self-help: “You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line in a race and then say, 'you are free to compete with all the others,'” said Johnson.
No, the programs didn't bring an end to the "conditions that breed despair and violence," but note the conditions these families were dealing with, and as I said earlier in the thread, it's so easy for someone to tell them to fix themselves... and here Johnson is saying exactly that:
"You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line in a race and then say, 'you are free to compete with all the others."

Being that meshak doesn't have a national holiday in her name, let's look at the personal life of the guy who does:
It is widely known that King was a womanizing adulterer. Under the order of U. S. Attorney General Bobby Kennedy, the FBI wired King's offices, and hotel rooms from 1963 to 1968. These tapes notably records his transactions with communist agents, but also wild interracial sex orgies which included acts of perversion. King's aids would use tax exempt money donated to his southern Christian Leadership conference to hire White prostitutes to perform sexual acts with him. King often would use two prostitute at the same time. These shocking tapes were ordered sealed for 50 years by U.S. Federal Judge John Smith Jr. on January 31, 1977. In other words we will not be able to learn all the gory details until the year 2027. some 90 congressmen, led by the late rep. Larry McDonald, urged Congress to find out what was on these tapes before they approved the disgraceful King Holiday Bill. A cowardly and spineless Congress voted 338 to 90 approving the King Holiday.
Still, many have been able to learn some of the shocking incidents recorded in the King tapes. Washington's old Willard Hotel was the scene of King forcing White women to drink "black Russian" and performing sexual acts with him. In Las Vegas King's aids paid $100 each to prostitutes to join him in orgies. In New York city King got drunk and threatened a young White girl working for civil rights to submit to his strange sexual tastes or he would jump from the 13th floor window. She succumbed to prove to loyalty to King. In Norway, King was nude when stopped by police while chasing a woman down a hotel corridor. In Los Angeles a dentist supporter of King was outraged when he discovered his wife engaged in weird sexual acts with the civil rights leader. King was forced to flee the city after the dentist threatened to kill him. This escapade was taped on February 20, 1968. The following April someone else would shoot King. Is this the kind of man we want to hold up to our children to be honored as a national hero?
It has been well-documented that King was a serial adulterer and womanizer. Here is an account of just one night—the night before his assassination—as recounted in Ralph Abernathy’s 1989 autobiography, And the Walls Came Tumbling Down. (Abernathy was a close friend of King’s and was with him that night).
King gave a rousing speech (“I’ve Been to the Mountaintop”);
King then had dinner with a woman afterward and remained with her till 1 AM
King came back to his motel to spend the night with a second woman.
In the early morning hours a third woman came looking for King and became angry when she found the bed in the room he shared with Abernathy unoccupied.
When King reappeared, he argued with woman #3 and wound up knocking her across the bed.

And now the cover-up:
Flashback: Bryant Gumbel Insists MLK's Adultery Should Be Censored: 'Print the Legend'
August 25, 2013
This weekend's promotion of the legend of Rev. Martin Luther King offers a reminder that the liberal media can blatantly state that it is their job to "print the legend," and not report on a historic figure's flaws.
In the fall of 1989, King's longtime lieutenant Ralph Abernathy wrote a book titled "And the Walls Came Tumbling Down." Abernathy told the tale that Rev. King committed adultery with two women on the night before he was murdered. Bryant Gumbel, then a co-host of NBC's Today, lectured: "When the truth collides with a legend, print the legend." Our November 1989 newsletter MediaWatch reported the exchange:
Bryant Gumbel, in the Dan Rather tradition of respectful interviewing, recently assaulted Rev. Ralph Abernathy for his new book, And the Walls Came Tumbling Down. Attempting to downplay Abernathy's revelations of Martin Luther King's sexual adventures, Gumbel first taped, but never used, an Abernathy interview without once discussing the sex controversy.
Then, after black leaders began renouncing Abernathy as the 'Judas' of the movement, Gumbel conducted a live interview on the October 17 show which focused entirely on those four pages. He repeatedly tried to get Abernathy to renounce or apologize for his accounts, running over the next two planned segments in order to get enough time to continue his line of questioning.
When Abernathy noted that King's exploits were "common knowledge," Gumbel retorted, "It would better stated, perhaps, to say that it was common accusation." He claimed that those pages "just as easily could have been left out...one could argue that your writings prove nothing." Abernathy explained that he included the unflattering sections because, "our Bible tells us very, very clearly, 'he shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free'...I was trying to tell the true story that would not diminish the authenticity of my book."
Gumbel chose instead to quote a movie line: "When the truth collides with a legend, print the legend." When Abernathy criticized his detractors, such as Jesse Jackson, Gumbel sputtered incredulously, "I don't think I'm hearing all this."
Henry Hampton, producer of the PBS documentary “Eyes on the Prize,” sounded a similar theme in a review in The New York Times:
Mr. Abernathy and King were many things to each other - colleagues in the black church, cellmates, strategists, co-conspirators for justice - but at the personal level, they were best friends. But in friendships in which one person greatly outshines the other, a curious mixture of love, envy and competition can sometimes lead to a lingering, often unspoken resentment. Mr. Abernathy's reasons for providing a detailed description of his friend's last evening and early morning - during which King had sexual encounters with two women and a confrontation with a third close woman companion - can be known only to him. It is sadly ironic that the disclosures will almost surely do more damage to Mr. Abernathy himself than to the reputation of King.

Now that the fraud Martin Luther King Jr. has been exposed, let's move onto the communist backed Civil Rights Movement.
For those of you that are interested in history, it all began with the Booker T. Washington-W.E.B. Dubois debates:
http://www.dailygrail.com/blogs/fahim-knight/2008/1/WEB-Dubois-and-Booker-T-Washington-Great-Debate
The communist Dubois' stance was welcomed by King.
W.E.B. Du Bois was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard University. He encountered socialist ideas while he was studying in Germany, where he occasionally attended rallies of the German Social Democratic Party. A pioneer of U.S. sociology and prolific author, Du Bois was one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and was the first editor of its journal the Crisis.
In 1961, after a lifetime of scholarship and activism, he joined the Communist Party USA, saying 'Capitalism cannot reform itself. Communism the effort to give all...what they need and to ask of each the best they can contribute this is the only way of human life.'
He died in Ghana, West Africa, where he had moved to work on the Encyclopedia Africana. His death was announced from the podium at the March on Washington where Dr. King made his historic 'I have a dream' speech.
http://www.cpusa.org/african-american-communist-w-e-b-du-bois-1868-1963-/
Would anyone care to discuss the influence the communists had on the NAACP?
(I would).
The most prominent among the anti-Washington Negroes was W. E. Burghardt DuBois - a native of Massachusetts with a doctorate and two lesser degrees from Harvard. (DuBois, before the turn of the century, was a Stalinist. Later, he formally joined the Socialist Party, resigned and became an active fellow traveler of the Reds, and eventually became a member of the Communist Party. And, today his name is memorialized in the Communists' DuBois Clubs.)
In a total misrepresentation of Washington's views, DuBois said:
"Mr. Washington apologizes for injustice, North and South, does not rightly value the privilege and duty of voting, belittles the emasculating effects of caste distinctions, and opposes the higher training and ambition of our brighter minds... [therefore] we must unceasingly and firmly oppose him."
To offset Washington's "self-help" program, DuBois - in 1905 -and a group of collectivists founded the Niagara Movement. DuBois planned, as an immediate goal, to train a Negro elite - "the Talented Tenth" - which could lead the Negro masses in a militant program to agitate for unconditional political and social equality.
Out of the Niagara Movement, there emerged - in 1909 - the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People with its announced purposes: "To promote equality of rights and eradicate caste or race prejudice among the citizens of the United States; to advance the interest of colored citizens; to secure for them impartial suffrage; and to increase their opportunities for securing justice in the courts, education for their children, employment according to their ability, and complete equality before the law."
The formation of the NAACP was urged by the leading radicals of the era including Jane Addams, John Dewey, William Lloyd Garrison, John Haynes Holmes, Lincoln Steffens, Brand Whitlock, Lillian Wald, Rabbi Stephen Wise, and Ray Stannard Baker. Among the first officials of the NAACP were more radicals including: Mary White Ovington, Oswald Garrison Vilard, Walter E. Sachs, John Milholland, Frances Blascoer, and William English Walling. Other radicals were among the first NAACP members: Florence Kelly, William Pickens, James W. Johnson, Charles E. Russell, and E. R. A. Seligman. (Many of these individuals were already or would soon become enrolled in the newly formed Intercollegiate Socialist Society [which later became the League for Industrial Democracy] and, within a few years, they were prominent in various pacifist groups, including the Fellowship of Reconciliation, and the American Civil Liberties Union. The NAACP gave them one more vantage point - agitation for Negroes' equality - from which they could promote Socialism and other facets of radicalism.)
Moorfield Storey, a white attorney from Boston, was the first president of the NAACP. DuBois became the organization's first director of publicity and research and the editor of the organization's monthly magazine, The Crisis. For twenty-four years, The Crisis served as DuBois' regular outlet for unbridled racism. In one of his editorials, he set the tone for the magazine when he wrote that "the most ordinary Negro is a distinct gentleman, but it takes extraordinary training and opportunity to make the average white man anything but a hog."
From 1909 until 1934, DuBois - in this country and abroad - was the most prominent spokesman for the NAACP. In that same period, Mary White Ovington, a white social worker and an official of the organization, was second only to DuBois in propaganda efforts for the organization. The NAACP has also been fortunate in having three very able men serve as executive secretary: James Weldon Johnson (1920-1928), Walter White (1929-1955), and Roy Wilkins since 1955. Wilkins also was editor of The Crisis from 1934 until 1949. Long tenure in office has also been characteristic of the NAACP's presidents - all white men: Moorfield Story (1910-1915), Joel Spingarn (1915-1940), Arthur Spingarn (1940-1966), and, since 1966, Kivie Kaplan.
During its first year, the NAACP recruited 329 members. At the end of twenty years, there were 88,000 members. The peak of membership was reached in 1963 with 510,000 and, at the end of 1968, there were 449,000 members.
In its early history, the NAACP proved to be a natural attraction for Communists. DuBois, the real leader of the organization, "hailed the Russian Revolution of 1917," and he traveled to the Soviet Union in 1926 and 1936. He especially liked "the racial attitudes of the Communists."
In 1920, the question of the Negro in America had been discussed at the second world congress of the Communist International. At that time, the Negro in America was described as a "national" minority rather than a "racial" minority.
By 1922, the Communists in America had received their orders from the Communist International to exploit Negroes in the Communist program against the peace and security of the United States. In 1923, the NAACP began to receive grants from the Garland Fund which was a major source for the financing of Communist Party enterprises. (Officials of the Fund included Communists William Z. Foster, Benjamin Gitlow, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Scott Nearing, and Robert W. Dunn, along with prominent leftwingers Roger Baldwin, Sidney Hillman, Ernest Gruening, Morris Ernst, Mary E. McDowell, Harry F. Ward, Judah L. Magnes, Freda Kirchwey, Emanuel Celler, Paul H. Douglas, Moorfield Storey, and Oswald Garrison Vilard.) The grants continued until, at least, 1934.

During its first year, the NAACP recruited 329 members. At the end of twenty years, there were 88,000 members. The peak of membership was reached in 1963 with 510,000 and, at the end of 1968, there were 449,000 members.
In its early history, the NAACP proved to be a natural attraction for Communists. DuBois, the real leader of the organization, "hailed the Russian Revolution of 1917," and he traveled to the Soviet Union in 1926 and 1936. He especially liked "the racial attitudes of the Communists."
In 1920, the question of the Negro in America had been discussed at the second world congress of the Communist International. At that time, the Negro in America was described as a "national" minority rather than a "racial" minority.
By 1922, the Communists in America had received their orders from the Communist International to exploit Negroes in the Communist program against the peace and security of the United States. In 1923, the NAACP began to receive grants from the Garland Fund which was a major source for the financing of Communist Party enterprises. (Officials of the Fund included Communists William Z. Foster, Benjamin Gitlow, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Scott Nearing, and Robert W. Dunn, along with prominent leftwingers Roger Baldwin, Sidney Hillman, Ernest Gruening, Morris Ernst, Mary E. McDowell, Harry F. Ward, Judah L. Magnes, Freda Kirchwey, Emanuel Celler, Paul H. Douglas, Moorfield Storey, and Oswald Garrison Vilard.) The grants continued until, at least, 1934.

There is some truth to that. But if you think that eliminating welfare is the solution, you are very mistaken. And if you think this can be turned around, quickly, you are also very mistaken.
The whole reason we put poor black people in collective public housing and made them totally dependent on the state is because we (white people) didn't want to educate them, hire them, or pay them a livable wage. We didn't want them living in our neighborhoods, or working in our work places, or shopping in our stores. And we were willing to pay to keep them segregated, and tell ourselves we were just "helping" them with our "public aid". Keep in mind that we also rigged the public aid system so that a mother with children couldn't get welfare if she was married to an able-bodied man or a man was living in the house with her. So we forced them to break up their families just to survive, and we forced the males to work the lowest paying jobs or become bums and criminals, and to become kept men, and "sperm donors" in their own communities. We rigged the system so if they got a job, even working for peanuts (an unlivable wage), they would be cut of public aid. And we've been imposing this system on them for 50 years, now. So that when we blame poor black people for this "irresponsible lifestyle" that we claim is keeping them in poverty, we are really just blaming them for what we have done. Because it was we who forced them into this lifestyle, and kept them in poverty by doing so. And we did it to them because we are racists.
WE (whites) are the "welfare state" that forced them into poverty and destroyed their families, their values, and their hope of ever obtaining even a modicum of the American dream. WE are responsible for what has happened to them. And now that they have been so demoralized for so long, it's become generational. And there's no fixing that easily or quickly. It's going to take generations to undo what it's taken generations to do. But it's not going to happen at all while we're still denying what we've done to them, why we did it to them, and while we're still blaming them for everything. And while we're still unwilling to educate, hire, and pay them a decent, livable wage, because we're still racists.

I don't have time right now to sift through your cut and pastes to see what's accurate and what's not, and whether you've told me anything I didn't already know, let alone seen "exposed."
But I'm willing to bet that your doppelganger wrote one of those anonymous letters:
The FBI distributed reports regarding such affairs to the executive branch, friendly reporters, potential coalition partners and funding sources of the SCLC, and King's family.[210] The Bureau also sent anonymous letters to King threatening to reveal information if he did not cease his civil rights work.[211] One anonymous letter sent to King just before he received the Nobel Peace Prize read, in part,
The American public, the church organizations that have been helping—Protestants, Catholics and Jews will know you for what you are—an evil beast. So will others who have backed you. You are done. King, there is only one thing left for you to do. You know what it is. You have just 34 days in which to do (this exact number has been selected for a specific reason, it has definite practical significant [sic]). You are done. There is but one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy fraudulent self is bared to the nation.[212]

I realize that this is yet another annabenedetti thread where white liberals sit around and pat each other on the back pretending that their racist policies really doesn't make them racists because they worship a loser like Mike King.
I'm just here to present the facts.
FACT:
MLK Jr. was the first co-recipient of the racist Margaret Sanger/Planned Parenthood Award. As shown, his pro choice/pro fag feminist wife Coretta, who spent decades by his side promoting his causes, was on the National Board of Directors of NOW. She knew her husband better than his pro life niece Alveda King did.
FACT:
According to close friend and ally Ralph Abernathy, Martin Luther King Jr. was a adulterer. Read his book to find out the gory details.
FACT: The civil rights movement was backed by the Communist Party and had numerous communists inside of the movement, MLK Jr., while not a card carrying member, was an ally (he wasn't against the Vietnam War because he was anti-war, he didn't want us fighting mass murdering communists).
FACT: MLK Jr. was a plagiarist. This is just one book that exposes him:
FACT:
MLK Jr. was not a Christian.
"He denied some of the most fundamental components of historic Christianity. He repudiated the doctrine of the deity of Jesus, and he rejected the concept that the Lord was raised bodily from the dead. King disdained the New Testament affirmation of Christ’s virgin birth, asserting that the early Christians devised a mythological story to account for the moral uniqueness of Jesus of Nazareth. His theology has been profusely documented in The Christian News Encyclopedia."

Your opening sentence isn't even factual.
And I already refuted you, which you've conveniently forgotten. That award was presented in 1966, seven years before abortion was legal in this country.
Your saying "thanks to frauds like Martin Luther King Jr., babies in the womb count as 0/5 of a person" is fraudulent in itself.
I hear that about a lot of Republicans and pastors.
You're right. Martin Luther King Jr. wasn't a Communist.
This is acknowledged.
Star Parker would count you as among the left. Congratulations, leftist.
Let's be aware of the concerted effort on the left to purge from memory that Dr. King was a Christian pastor, inspired by the truth of the gospel, who led an organization called the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
