“With the stamps and the other things, we are honoring Dr. King - TopicsExpress



          

“With the stamps and the other things, we are honoring Dr. King on the cheap. Give him a monument, give him a holiday, but we dont want to deal with his message because it is too subversive. The message in the last year of his life was about dealing with what he called the “Triple Threat”: racism, poverty, and militarism. He says this is what is going to tear America apart to its very fiber. If we dont address this triple threat, we are going to lose our democracy. So fast-forward almost 50 years after his death, and youve got Ferguson, Missouri, and racism on display.” – Tavis Smiley
