Blacks and liberals--do not denigrate their faux heroes.

Why is it that many blacks are so quick to take offense? Have they learned this from liberals? I think so. I believe that Prof. Walter Williams and Dr.Thomas Sowell have addressed this in discussion. For the same reason that they would vote for obongo in droves even though his policies do not benefit them except for the immediate gratification of getting something free, taken from someone else who earned it. obongo has decreased the opportunity for blacks to have jobs; he has truly done little to forward any opportunities for them. Blacks just seem to be stuck in an envious "somebody owes me something" frame of mind. They think obongo "got a stash" from which he will give them freebies. Liberals foster this as they do the adoration of Martin Luther King. As with all liberal heroes MLK was not a particularly admirable man: he was a communist and an agitator who hurt our efforts to save South Vietnam from communism. He was investigated by the FBI for his communist activity. He also was a philanderer. I clearly remember when I was in college at the University of Georgia good old Martin was all over a very lovely light-skinned young lady and Coretta was headed for the scrap heap. This is history which blacks and liberals do not like; so they get quite agitated when it is spoken. They like history to be rewritten like their version of Mr. Lincoln's War which they like to portray as being all about slavery when Lincoln just wanted blacks put on ships and sent off somewhere. He thought them inferior and frankly did not like them. Now blacks are offended because a radio commentator is mentioning the truth about Martin Luther King whom we are told must be regarded like a Saint and cannot be disparaged. He was not so great a man, and his one little speech was not great, it is just that a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth, at least to blacks and liberals.
