of the most inspirational leaders like MLK to Rev. Wright. And you know what you're doing.
For those with a short memory, MLK was a very spiritual man as well as a very humble man. Coretta Scott King reminds me of the epitome of love and support as she persevered during such horrible hardships, while her husband was alive and after his death. I can't see MLK smiling down at this farce.
It's disgusting that we, WE, as a "supportive" arm of the Democratic party, would stoop to the level that the GOP rigorously does to divide and spit on our Civil Rights as well as the Constitution. I grew up in the south. My school was integrated when I was in the 7th grade. It wasn't a game, nor a political contest. A struggle to understand a new culture and fear dominated our lives daily. And for those of us who managed to "understand" and grow during these times, didn't do it with a bunch of bullshit-rating-hungry reporters breathing down our necks, who savored every bite of their networks approval.
No, we MADE it work because our differences paled in comparison to what made us similar and we genuinely liked one another for that.
