Today's lesson, Racism. If you see something written here that you’ve said or done, use it as an opportunity. Take it as a wake up call and make the decision to grow, change and be conscious of your own privilege. Remember, I am not a speaker for the entirety of a people.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
When someone quotes MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech to try to police someone’s wording/emotions/opinion/ect
I know for sure, without a shadow of a doubt that they have never heard the entire speech. Also, they have absolutely no clue who Martin Luther Kind Jr was or what he stood for.
Martin Luther King Jr is not and never was the “Magical & Kind” Negro you keep making him out to be.
You’ve confused “Non-Violent” with “Door mat.”
