Glenn Beck Is Not Martin Luther King Jr.

This is a message I recently ran across:

Did you know that Glenn Beck is planning a rally to take place on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous 'I Have a Dream Speech'? What's more, Beck's rally is being held at the same location where King gave his speech in 1963 and will feature guests like Sarah Palin!

I just signed a pledge to stand with Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of a just, diverse and equal society. We cannot let Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin destroy and distort King's vision. As King once said: 'Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter'.

We can't become silent. Sign the pledge: glennbeckisnotmartinlutherkingjr.com

Beck has every right to do this and we have every right to protest it.

Note To Those Following Glenn Beck: Beware Of False Prophets

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."

-Matthew 7:15

Listen closely to the end of this video and then reflect upon the passage above:

Glenn Beck ... Miss Celie Has Something To Say To You

"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.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. … We Can Never Thank You Enough

Today, Jan. 15, is the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., maybe the greatest man who ever lived (in the eyes of a lot of people).

I want to take the time to wish Dr. King a happy birthday and to say that we can never thank him enough for all he gave for us to have all that we have today. He sacrificed himself so that generation after generation of people of all races could know freedom and even have the luxury to take for granted the price so many people paid for the freedom we enjoy today.

Thank you Dr. King. We can never thank you enough.

I would like to share a passage from my favorite all-time Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speech … his last speech. Most people know this speech as the “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech. Dr. King delivered this speech on April 3, 1968 at the Mason Temple in Memphis, Tenn. … The speech came the day before he was gunned down by an assassin’s bullet on April 4, 1968.

Here is the excerpt I would like to share to show the selflessness of a man who gave his own life to improve the lives of others. Also, the speech may have been a foreshadowing of his death one day later.

And then I got to Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers? Well, I don’t know what will happen now. We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn’t matter with me now. Because I’ve been to the mountaintop. And I don’t mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. So I’m happy, tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

Thank you Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we owe so much to you.
