"Nettie and my kids be comin' home soon, and when they get here we gonna' set around and whip your ass."
- Celie to Albert in The Color Purple.
That is what Miss Celie might to say to far-right nut Glenn Beck if she could come out of the movie The Color Purple and talk to him.
As we approach the 47th anniversary of the famous "I Have A Dream" speech from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., back in 1963, Beck is eager to exploit so much of what Dr. King stood for and do it as a slap in the face of black people and for his own self promotion in this half-ass rally he is attempting to pull together for Aug. 28.
Glenn Beck is a disgraceful man in spite of his legion of followers gullible and crazy as the Manson family, but maybe less dangerous (murder and whatnot).
Beck says he wants to "restore America," but his vision of America probably is to take it back to where it was when Dr. King had to make that speech.
Obviously, this has created a lot of controversy.
Glenn Beck chooses to spit in the face of Black America and to use the Dr. King anniversary as a doormat to walk on toward his dubious right-wing vision of America.
If Beck wants to have his rally then let him. I call upon real leaders to step forward and counter his protest to live up to what Miss Celie told Albert in The Color Purple.
Lets stand around the Lincoln Memorial and whip Glenn Beck's punk ass.
Lets not allow Glenn Beck (through this bogus rally) to repackage Dr. King for his own selfish and sinister purposes.
