LOL at Travis B. Right.

Anyway. Dr. Boyce, thank you for hitting the nail on the head once again brother. I live in Omaha, NE the birthplace of Malcolm, and they are trying vigorously to build up his birth site. They are having challenges. He has consistently been rejected by the Nebraska hall of fame. In 2007 a botanist was voted in over him. Insane.

I say throw in a monument to Garvey too.

Wow I can’t believe you related the HOLOCAUST. YOU PPL have done this to your selves. The usa is maturing but blacks are not. That’s the difference. No ones holding you back. To many have been stupidly taught to not work because people you never met were slaves. They were fed worth money and had a place to live. Yeah it sucked but blacks whites Asians etc have all been slaves for thousands of years. What happen in the holocaust is the worst thing that any human could go through. NEVER COMPARE YOUR LAZY SIMPLE MINDED TRASH TO SOMETHING YOUR PPL DON’T UNDERSTAND AND GUESS WHAT THE JEWISH PPL GOT OVER IT. WOW WHY CAN’T YOU. When your slaves were brought here you were done a favor. BTW your tribes sold you. I would say go back to Africa if you dont like it. But they hate African-Americans more them we do. Keep complaining you could be in a hut with a spear with 10 kids and you all have hiv/aids no food no nice car or home. Get the f over it. Already its lame and makes whites not want to except cry babies that never had it that damn bad. Welfare foodstamps having babies to get money to work the system. That’s why no ones gettin jobs your momma will lose her Medicaid and assistance. Then that’s what the kids end up doing. No one told anyone to commit any crime its a choice to be a criminal and a burden on society. BTW Obama does not relate to native blacks. He’s not from here nor raised by ghetto trash. Just like my friend the Dominican rep. Says the blacks here are a embarrassment and lazy ppl from Africa come to my city once a year and say the same. Go to the mother land and really live like your ancestors that sold you did. Cause they still do. They haven’t evolved with evolution. Blacks are not like us. We become stronger smarter and evolution greets us and you all sit back for the free ride. Stop running around like your still in the jungle put your guns down stop using the white man for your faults. We dont care. We just want you to grow up and catch up with the real world. Big snot nosed whinners.

I felt I need to clarify Dr. King’s speech and my comment earlier…see speech below.

“I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”

He did later in the speech say, “All of God’s children”…my point is, Black people seemingly are still looked at as comedians and buffoons, instead of heroes. Ethnic groups are always copying Black American traits, from hair, skin and body, however; still not recognizing the significance of the portrayal.

…I hope this helps the clarification of what I said…furthermore, see post above on FACEBOOK.

…Martin Luther King speech, “I Have A Dream”, mentioned only white and black little children, why does everybody else’s ethnicity ‘always’ get to ride the backs of the ones who were the victims?
