I find it ironic that a thread about us laughing at goobers taking inconsequential shit too seriously has devolved into us taking inconsequential shit too seriously. 

Catching up on this thread there have been three posts I intended to reply to only to see you already made the same comment. It's downright frightening.

I know my friends with autistic kids hate the R word so I don't use it around them. I would never refer to an autistic person that way anyways. I had no idea that you have an autistic child so I apologize if any of my posts where i used the word pissed you off. I never want to offend someone on a personal level so I'm OK with being called out on it if I am. 

Just like Cals would never call a homosexual a "fag"

You don’t think he’d be a blind supporter of BLM and ignore the crimes all the black dudes who got themselves killed by cops committed?

He would still be a Republican and would not support BLM

He was all about love.

Alveda talks about it here:

Alveda King says AOC could learn a thing or two from Martin Luther King Jr.

The niece of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. marked her uncle's birthday with an emotional message of hope and healing to a country plagued by "violence, injustice and discord" in an op-ed published on Fox News earlier Monday.

Alveda acknowledged that issues of racism must be addressed, but added Ocasio-Cortez's divisive rhetoric contradicts the teachings of her uncle.

"My uncle said only love can drive out hate," she explained, "so we have to do both at the same time."

I wish he was here today to speak some sense into people.

I don't think you'd like him very much. He was basically a socialist, and one of the primary reasons he was assassinated was he was questioning the systems that perpetuate poverty.

What my uncle would tell a nation beset by violence and discord

People often ask what the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would say today. No need to second guess. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." 

Surely, the violence at the U.S. Capitol would have broken his heart, as would the partisan witch hunts that seem to multiply daily.  

"We adopt the means of nonviolence because our end is a community at peace with itself," he once said. "We will try to persuade with our words, but if our words fail, we will try to persuade with our acts." 

My earliest memory of my uncle was his marriage to Coretta. I was the flower girl at the wedding, which took place on the lawn of my aunt’s parent’s house in Marion, Ala., in June 1953. I was almost 3 years old. My early memories were just like snapshots, yet I knew even then that I was a member of a family whose faith in God was the driving force.

My granddaddy, Rev. Martin Luther King Sr., and my grandmother, Alberta Williams King, instilled in their three children, Christine, Martin and Alfred, that the King Family Legacy is one established by God, in faith, hope and love. It was that faith, that deep and consequential love of God, that brought my family to a level of leadership of the 20th-century civil rights movement. 

"Nonviolence is absolute commitment to the way of love. Love is not emotional bash; it is not empty sentimentalism," Uncle ML said. "It is the active outpouring of one’s whole being into the being of another." 

We were also taught that forgiveness must be bestowed willingly, freely and without conditions. Those were lessons we fell back on many times as we were called on to forgive, publicly and sincerely, the most heinous of crimes. 

When Uncle ML was assassinated in 1968, I was 17 years old and in the restive way of teenagers, I wanted to blame all White people. I wanted to give hate room to grow in my heart. But my mother and father and my grandparents and Uncle ML reminded all of us that hate only begets more hate, and there should not be room in the world for animosity or mistrust or hostility. 

When my uncle was killed on April 4, 1968, I remember talking to my daddy about my feelings of hating White people. Daddy rocked me in his arms and said to me, "White people march with us, they go to jail with us, they pray with us, they live with us, and they die with us. White people didn’t kill your uncle, the Devil did. 

"I have decided to stick with love," my uncle famously said. "Hate is too great a burden to bear." 

Love, my Uncle ML said, "is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend."
