“LINDSAY LOHAN MAY HAVE CONVERTED TO ISLAM. BECAUSE OF COURSE”

No way Lindsay is into Islam. She likes to pork too much.

We all want that.

Martyrdom. Banning a group this fringe at this stage gives them an air of “dangerous.” And some people are attracted to dangerous things just because they are dangerous.

Isn’t this the same logic that said “oh, UKIP will never push through Brexit” and “Donald Trump will never win a primary, let alone the presidency”?

Love bats. I live next to a nature reserve with a big lake. The only reason we aren’t swimming in mosquitoes every Summer is because we have a huge bat population. Every night you can watch them flying overhead eating thousands of those bugs.

You may have missed the part where his daughter threw in her part to tarnish his legacy... She’s an anti LGBT bigot, frankly. Worst part is that King himself and Coretta were known to be allies with gays and lesbians.

Good for them. Poor creatures, bats get such a shitty rap. They’re fantastic and valuable animals and all sorts of shit will mess them up. Like wind turbines: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/08/080825-bat-bends.html

Kings relatives hve been out to destroy and monitize his legacy for years.

King’s legacy was not a radical one. He butted heads with radicals all the time, Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael inparticular.

Just throwing in here that Thurgood Marshall’s son sits on the board of the world’s largest for-profit prison company. We cannot look to the second generation for leadership. They’re there for the money.

Yeah... when it comes to associations people make in their minds, a lot of bigots, whitesplainers, etc could easily see MLK III’s actions and words and think, “MLK Jr, MLK Jr’s son... close enough”. And then, then... they use that as ammunition to derail arguments from people of colour and their allies, “well, MLK’s…

I’m having trouble deciding whether or not that is worse than my usual “baseball bat wrapped in tabasco coated razor wire” go-to

Also, just as an addition; while this particular quote is part of Dr. King Jr’s reputation, I think that Malcolm X nudged King to be more radical — that the criticism ultimately benefitted him even if he was not a fan of it at the time. I don’t know if MLK III will take anything from the criticism he faces, but I hope…

I said something like this above and I’m glad to see other people did already. Unfortunately “death threats” doesn’t mean much anymore. That doesn’t justify death threats. It does mean there’s a difference between anonymous creeps saying “I’m gonna stab you” and people sending you pictures of your house and calling…

It’s all good! I have a problem where I’m not always clear with my intentions on the internet, so stuff doesn’t always come across how I intend it to.

During a interview in front a religious crowd when asked what he’d asked God for forgiveness for he thought for two seconds and then basically answered that he’d never asked God for forgiveness for anything, because he truly believed he never did anything wrong.

Slightly OT, but I think A LOT of people didn’t know about John Lewis until Trump, and that’s an affront against our government and our history as a country.

Anyone else think that Trump had no idea who John Lewis is until about 20 minutes after his tweets?
