On Facebook Mike concludes Martin Luther King does not belong to either the right or the left. Asking to be judged by the content of your character as opposed to the color of your skin seems kind of out of place for both sides nowadays.
Mike's post is below.
Reverend Dr. King does not belong to the right or the left.
The right can not support a racist and bigot, implement policies that favor one group over another, allow poor people to starve, and expand income inequality and then claim to honor King; how dare they.
As for the left, he was a man of God and religion, that which you (the left) openly detest, he brought people together, he kept his eye on the prize, he connected class and race, he saw voting and politics as valuable, knew winning was important, and he called out the nations and its leaders for their racism on a daily basis; you have no right to claim him either.

So why, when I judge my students by their content, which is awful, do i get called racist?
Once, not so long go, in a country not so far away, Mike's description of Martin Luther King also characterized the Left.
No more, alas...
What is a race?
Are countries now races?
Race is a made up concept to divide us.
Who does Mike belong to? Randi, Bill and Carmen, of course.
Yes, black people made up their race and then asked to be take a tourist visit to America in the holds of ships so they could have the joy of working the land for 200 years.
Blacks didn't make up the concept of race. The idea goes back much further in history. The whole notion of race is ridiculous as there are so many hybrids.
