Burger King gave this man a "gift" that felt almost like a slap in the face. Never missed a day in 27 years, and they gave him a bag of candy. I'm so glad folks stepped up to give this man $452,000. He did something sensible with it (bought a house). I love to see this.

This dude breaks down the stock market and shows how little power and money we every day people have in the game.

Basically all the big names like BlackRock and Vanguard own each other and basically own everything. Every time you buy from places like Amazon, Walmart, ect. you are funding these corporations that own everything. It is crazy.

Which one do you think is more effective in getting public school students to learn? I ask this question because there are so many schools in Mississippi going virtual today because of the wintry conditions that make driving dangerous.

I have seen so many stories about home break ins lately. What do you do to give your living space the least chance of being broken into? This includes when you are at home and when nobody is at home.

I definitely hope all of the 6ers are living a happy life. How many of these five things from this article do you use on a regular basis to live a happy life?

An excerpt.
WARNING: Republicoon babble and ancestor disrespect ahead.

Martin Luther King Jr. was just an “ersatz pastor” and a “communist,” and the 1960s civil rights movement was “crap,” according to a series of Facebook posts by Mark Robinson, the leading Republican candidate to be North Carolina’s next governor.

Robinson, who is currently the state’s lieutenant governor, regularly criticized King and the civil rights movement for years on Facebook ― specifically on MLK Day ― HuffPost found amid a review of his posts. The Black politician also downplayed slavery, rejected the idea that he’s part of the African American community, and attacked the late congressman and civil rights icon, John Lewis.

These posts are surfacing at a time when Robinson, who is on track to be the GOP nominee for governor in November, has been trying to soften his rhetoric, and celebrate King and the civil rights movement.

Last month, former President Donald Trump hailed Robinson as “better than Dr. Martin Luther King” at a campaign event, and Robinson responded by saying he “took it as a compliment” and “knowing what I know about him, and the history thereof, you know, those are big shoes to fill.”

His social media posts tell a different story.

In January 2018, Robinson mocked people who celebrate King, who he said was just a subpar pastor. He didn’t mention King by name, but he was clearly talking about the civil rights leader in his series of messages posted on MLK Day that year.

“It is at once funny and sad that so many people will follow the lead of a bunch of atheists and worship an ersatz pastor as a deity,” he wrote in one post.

Robinson also used MLK Day to dismiss the idea that racism is real.

“The ‘state of race relations’ exist chiefly within your own mind,” he said.

“‘Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty we are free at last!’ Now what?” he said in another post that day.



MARK ROBINSON'S FACEBOOK PAGE

Those posts came exactly one year after Robinson wrote that he planned to work on MLK Day, a federal holiday, to show that he wasn’t “a leach” on society and allowing the government to cut him a break.

“Tomorrow I will do my ‘service to the community’ by going to work to continue to support myself and my family so I’m not a leach on said community,” Robinson posted on Jan. 16, 2017.

He also wrote on MLK Day that year, “I don’t like Communist. No matter what ‘color’ they are.”

The North Carolina Republican later admitted in his 2022 book, “We Are The Majority,” that he had been calling King a communist.

Login to view embedded media Dr. King was a rider. He said his dream became a nightmare. He said he was afraid that he had led us into a burning house. He said we're coming to get our check. The narrative has been changed by society to say his dream was meant for all but we know what he was fighting for. It was not everybody's fight, it was only ours. He had been lied on in terms of infidelity, he had been beaten, jailed, stabbed almost to death, firebombed and ultimately assassinated by the government. We never saw him complain outwardly. This is what we call a true rider for his people. This is Dr. Martin Luther King's Birthday and we vow to continue this great man's legacy until his dream of true freedom for FBA becomes a reality!!!

Oh to have the access and privilidge. I know that's not all that goes into this sort of expedition but damn, the time and resources say otherwise..

Thoughts Rebels? (Klyde)

Many colleges and universities are about to start their spring semester. I'm just curious as to whether any of ya'll are enrolled in any classes at a college or university for this upcoming term. What are you majoring in?

Gotta give respect to the elders who paved the way ... In his own words, he had a hand in "integrating us into a burning house" (am I going to put that all on him though? Nope. It's our fault)

No matter the failings of the man or his methodology, did he move the ball forward? If yes, then it's a net positive for me ...

Glad he came to the realization.. glad people can not only hear the pacifist Martin, but the militant one as well ...

And I'm honored to share a birthday with the greatest warrior for peace of the 20th century, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


Since his murder, Dr. King's image has been repackage & repainted, and he has been turned into the jolly southern preacher who did nothing but dream about living next door to white folks.
In truth, Dr. King was a revolutionary. He was a powerful man who galvanized and inspired people of all ethnicities to fight for the rights of Black people and poor people.
Dr. King was a force; he scared the powers that be. He was a threat to the system, and the system feared him! Nobody has come closer to damaging the infrastructure of American systematic racism than Dr. King.
Dr. King fought for US, and he ultimately gave his life for US.
As a birthday favor to me, please join me in celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I'm just curious.

This is great to hear. I love to see our people fight and get back what was stolen from us. Now, none of these racist folks better not touch her property again.

I have read about and watched videos about way more gas station shootings than normal. My advice to people is to be ready at all times when you are getting gas. And be there for the least amount of time possible while keeping your eyes on your surroundings. Get off your phone unless you're paying from your app or something. There are way too many innocent people killed by bullets as a person is trying to shoot somebody else. Plus, there is the realization of mistaken identity as well.

Calling it a "crisis" is one of the easiest things Biden could have done, and he did not do it.

I will say winter is my least favorite season out of the four (sick of the cold) with summer being my most favorite, then fall, then spring (sick of the allergies).

I ask this question because many towns are doing something for MLK Day. I don't know what will happen this year since there is winter weather in a large portion of the country.

In the "Roland Master Class on Tubi" YouTube video, Roland Martin discusses the historical treatment of Black-owned media by Fox Broadcasting and its impact on the present day with Tubi's focus on Black content. Martin raises concerns about Fox's past business practices, such as ending shows like "In Living Color" to secure the NFL rights and launch Fox News, and its recent acquisition of Tubi. He urges viewers to be aware of these past practices and the importance of investing in Black-owned media platforms to avoid exploitation. The discussion also covers the manipulation and disparities in news and information on social media platforms, the financial disparities faced by Black-owned media in the advertising industry, and the collective power of Black organizations to uplift and support Black-owned media. Martin emphasizes the need for investment and resources to ensure the survival and growth of Black-owned media

In the YouTube video titled "Roland Martin on Tubi, Black-owned media funding, and consumer power," the host emphasizes the need for fair advertising allocations for Black-owned media and challenges corporations to invest $10 million in his platform until November. Martin argues that this funding would enable town halls and city broadcasts, which other mainstream media channels also utilize. He highlights the importance of equitable advertising budgets for industries like automotive and pharmaceuticals, believing that increased funding for Black-owned media results in a more diverse range of programming, ultimately creating a more inclusive media landscape. The speaker also stresses that Black audiences drive significant revenue for largely white media companies but often face discrimination and lack of support. They encourage viewers to invest in Black-owned media and use their consumption power to hold companies accountable for proper representation and funding of Black voices and stories
