MLK Reflections from Michelle Obama's Mirror

"We’ve come a long way, baby. We now have a black and white president who drinks black beer and white beer: …and a country that wants separate drinking fountains again. God bless you Dr. King. I see in your honor today dozens lined up to rail against the ongoing injustice in America, rather than to honor the distance we’ve traveled at your behest. A pox upon the house of these race baiters. That was never a part of your dream for your children." Michelle Obama's Mirror: Obama Transforms “I have a dream” Into “Dreams From My Father”

“How do I bring people together? How? Maybe a luau of some kind. What is it Campbell?”

“I just met with the African American Student Council, sir…”

“Great, a new separatist demand, right?”

“Well…”

“I don’t get it, Campbell. The Black students now have separate dorms, fraternities, cafeteria tables, student center, studies program and graduation. After 25 years of intensive, progressive action in pursuit of racial justice at this college, we’ve managed to produce a fully segregated campus. *sigh* What a legacy I’ve created. And to think I marched with Dr. King in Selma.”

“So what is it now?”

“Um…the kids want their own water fountains.”

We've come so far...

In the White House there's someone who got there based on the color of his skin, rather than the content of his character.

Used to be that when blacks committed crimes against whites, it was front-page news, even used as justification by some whites for horrible violence against blacks.

If a white committed a crime against a black, it probably didn't even make the news.

Now the exact opposite is true.

(Even when it's a ginned-up "crime"- eg, Tawana Brawley)

Al Jolson and others did black-face characterizations of blacks...

Now blacks do those same acts, are glorified, and get paid handsomely for it.

Except they aren't even acting.

(Rappers, Al Sharpton and Jessie, for example)

And on and on and on...

Integration? Go into any college student union and you'll see exactly what the cartoon talks about. All the blacks are sitting together. Why the heck don't they just go to a good all black school?
