Not one American can make it on their own. To start, our Founders had each other. They figured out how to craft a Constitution that still supports a Republic almost 250 years later. None of us do anything by ourselves. We do it together.
“I just don’t want to attach any conditions to equality to color.” - exactly right.
What happened to the Black America that it turned away from Dr. King and to violence? It was when it became coopted by the "revolutionary" communist organizers which poured gasoline of the Black Panthers movement on fire. The fire was never put out.
It's a sad commentary that two generations ago Boston University graduated both Clarence Jones (Law School) and Martin Luther King (School of Theology). Today, Boston University has hired the fraudulent Ibrahim Kendi.
Democrats and the left have a problem, a problem in logic. From one side of their mouth, America is "an irredeemable racist country". From the other side, they accuse Republicans of trying to "turn back the clock" or "deny blacks their civil rights".
All this amounts to saying a racist country somehow has made tremendous progress on civil rights for blacks. Either blacks have not progressed on civil rights, or the US is not fundamentally racist. So which is it?
People have not only gotten away from Dr. King's message, but JFK's as well. "Ask not what your country can do for you..." Are you kidding? Everyone is asking that.
“If the surviving lions don’t tell their stories, the hunters will take all the credit.”
Interesting. Where is the self-proclaimed surviving lion Jesse Jackson? We know about the "take all the credit" grifter Sharpton with whom Kendi fits perfectly. But when is Obama going to be asked his opinion on Kendi's ideology, The 1619 Project, Claudine Gay (who he helped get her job)? There is a fair argument to be made that Jackson and Obama are the "hunters", now all in on the "anti-racism" bandwagon. For that matter, why isn't Biden asked, either?
It's also important to note that every person who worked with Dr. King had to sign a commitment to do 10 things. The first was to "meditate daily on the teachings and life of Jesus." Others included, the expectation that all participants would "walk and talk in the manner of love, for God is love" and "pray daily to be used by God in order that all men might be free." Dr. King's principles and perhaps Clarence Jones' were based on his Christian faith. Let no one forget.
Excellent article! Unfortunately real civil rights activists like this are forgotten, pushed aside by racial grifters from Kendi to the various DEI-hustlers.
"One of America’s most prominent black thinkers, Ibram X. Kendi..."
You lost me right there. Kendi is a fraud, a race-hustler, and disgrace not only to black America but to all of America. We deserve better. After the Obama charade, haven't we had enough false messiahs?

Thank you for allowing this gentleman to share his voice. This was refreshing!

Sensational writing and commentary that can not be found anywhere else. Thank you one and all.
I would love to see a debate between Jones and Kendi.
excellent story.

Great men surround themselves with others lime them!
I have often wondered how different would our nation, all nations, be if Dr. King were alive.
I like to think we would all be in a better, more peaceful place.
Sadly, I do not believe that Dr. King is resting in peace.
Thank you.
