person would do it is talk about martin luther king and his legacy
now there is this perception in america today
them armed with a king was a warm and fuzzy guy cool which is one of their way
to get along and hold hands
which certainly part of his dream
uh... and only fought operational quality and the rest of his agenda is
totally not only for gotten
armada leading and there was a great great man
uh... but he talked about the first fierce urgency of now
is that a guy to be plagued aidid
he was not pay guy for gradual zone as a lot of people lesson to be implying
these days
and his agenda involve a lot more the racial equality he wanted to be end the
war in vietnam from fairly certainly would obey as the war in iraq referred
damned sure
uh... and of course uh... where he gave his famous speech in nineteen sixty
three
it was actually a march on washington or
jobs and freedom and when he was murdered
that in memphis
he was actually there to raise the wages of the sanitation workers so
uh... i want to give you a complete i'll look in a more movie king's legacy and
also give me a sense of where we stand today
uh... by the way here some other things that uh... martin luther king said he
wanted
he talk about the world wins over volts
and the one issue get on this is a violation
onto the bright day of justice emergence
now these are things that you will not find from current leaders on the
democratic side progress inside
uh... no matter what their skin color they'd be scared to death of talk in
this kind of language
about the world wins a revolt
but the also talked about
uh... radical changes in the structure of our society
he was a absolutely right about those things in
again those things have now become basically on mashable
here are other things that are on mashable in the current context which is
how badly after the americans are doing
in this economic recession
uh... it's on national because apparently no one gives a damn there
isn't anything done uh... that uh... to alleviate that nothing propose no
legislation
noah action by the president
uh... other than just general haig we hope things turn around it would give
the bank has enough money
uh... right now african-americans are twelve percent of the u_s_ population
there twenty one percent
of the nation's unemployed
and so that is not agood spats that obviously
here's another disastrous that
among the top in american men nineteen percent
are unemployed
that's a gigantic number of the
unemployment rate below role is it about the half-percent
so much much larger than the rest the country
that percentage
how would uh...
martin licking her felt about that
uh... he would not attain kindly to it of first of all his another strong quote
from a leaking
uh... which foxnews would've gone ballistic over
he says america has given the negro people
ebags checked
which has come back marked insufficient funds
but we refuse to believe
but the bank of justice
is bankrupt
now he's our by justice there now waving rush limbaugh boxes would of done with
acro
a lot of bad then does that supermodel you we know at the car
well w sunrises in pairs although the bad where you would know about morality
here you know you kidding me
okay
all this rabble rousing raison patriotic for being as the vietnam war
it's that doing class warfare by the end be inferior sanitation workers talk
about raising their rates
and the you know he is just
upsetting the normal or
uh... now
some claim that marlon king
uh... whatever approved of the current slow
pace of change that we have
well here is a excellent quote
uh... to disabuse you of that notion here's what the
an ok set
this is no time to engage in the luxury of cool off
what a cute rank allies and drug
of graduates
they have to understand it was a different time with different
circumstances so u at sometimes it might make sense to push forward
others
it might make sense for gradual isn't
but as you see nineteen percent of black males unemployed as you see twenty one
percent of the unemployed overall in this country are african-americans
uh... as you see that disparity
uh... in in the housing market for example white households
lost sixteen percent of their net worth
uh... during a recession
african-american households lost
fifty three percent of their net worth latinos it even worse
losing two-thirds of their net worth altogether
so this recession has hit minorities much much harder
than everyone else or even though it said all was very very hard
uh... that among many other reasons i would believe of that one of the
kingwood
continued talk about the fierce urgency of now
and not take the tranquilize in prague of graduates
although we know some other african-american leaders in this country
that apparently
very much interested in that
prescription
uh... alright
have
crew would also writes about uh... apologies dream today
uh... he makes a very good point nineteen sixties and seventies actually
things do get better especially
at the civil rights act was passed a lot of blacks
did move into the middle class in an upper middle class
shockingly enough it turned out that uh... that movement stopped around the
nineteen eighties
and has uh...
if anything receded since that
for two good the reasons that he points out
when you have a pack
overall
economic inequality
well the people that are on the lower wrongs gets stuck here
and so since there was a greater percentage of african-americans
in that situation because of slavery jim crow and segregation
etcetera
once income inequality took off well they move the wrongs in the latter in in
crude was analogy
further and further apart so the bottom rungs
one make it harder job
to the uh... top runs until you get stopped where you are
so uh... income inequality has led to racial inequality it's a great point by
krugman
and of course we all believe
that uh...
uh... it's okay 'cause you live the american dream here i still believe that
no question about having set in my mind having said that
uh... the american dream apparently is stronger in europe and canada
because uh...
live studies have shown
that you are much more likely to move up in economic
status
in europe in canada the newark in the united states of america today
that does not help anybody any race any thoughts
um... plus was about so far for class
and their kids and their grandkids
maintain their possessions at the expense of everyone else
and crew remakes long-lasting point which is that
uh... mitt romney says that we should talk about
income inequality only inquire rooms
uh... that's exactly what they told martin luther king about racial
inequalities
filatov about that in quiet whispers inquire brooms
and locate thank god didn't listen to that
