Yeah, I know. He was a decent looking man and he ruined himself. I mean, I watched some story on the news about the disease he has, where you look in the mirror and hate what you see, regardless.......

Correction: I guess its not his birthday, just a day they picked to celebrate the achievements contributions and sacrifices of this great man.
I get the feeling you all are being a bit sarcastic here? Sheesh.

Q: Why was MLK assassinated?
A: Because the KKK had a dream too.

Those are real classy statements. I'm not mad or upset I hear these things all the time. But here is a little info. for those of you who don't know....
A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so they joined together and wished themselves away. They passed through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a twilight zone where there is an America without black people. At first these white people breathe a sigh of relief. At last, they said. No more crime, drugs, violence and welfare. All of the blacks have gone! Then suddenly, reality set in. The "NEW AMERICA" is not America at all-only a barren land.
1. There are very few crops that have flourished because the nation
was built on a slave-supported system.
2. There are no cities with tall skyscrapers because Alexander Mils,
a black man, invented the elevator, and without it one finds great difficulty reaching higher floors.
3. There are few if any cars because Richard Spikes, a black man,
invented the automatic gear-shift, Joseph Gambol, also black, invented the Super Charge System for Internal Combustion Engines, and Garrett A. Morgan, a black man, invented the traffic signals.
4. Furthermore, one could not use the rapid transit system because
it's procurer was the electric trolley, which was invented by another black man, Albert R. Robinson.
5. Even if there were streets on which cars and a rapid transit
system could operate, they were cluttered with paper because an African American, Charles Brooks, invented the street sweeper.
6. There were few if any newspapers, magazines and books because John
Love invented the pencil sharpener, William Purveys invented the fountain pen, Lee Barrage invented the Type Writing Machine and W. A. Love invented the Advanced Printing Press. They were all you guessed it, Black.
7. Even if Americans could write their letters, articles and books,
they would not have been transported by mail because William Barry invented the Postmarking and Canceling Machine, William Purveys invented the Hand Stamp and Philip Downing invented the Letter Drop.
8. The lawns were brown and wilted because Joseph Smith invented the
Lawn Sprinkler and John Burr the Lawn Mower.
9. When they entered their homes, they found them to be poorly
ventilated and poorly heated. You see Frederick Jones invented the Air Conditioner and Alice Parker the Heating Furnace. Their homes were also dim. But of course, Lewis Later invented the Electric Lamp, Michael Harvey invented the lantern and Granville T. Woods invented the Automatic Cut off Switch. Their homes were also filthy because Thomas W. Steward invented the Mop &Lloyd P. Ray the Dust Pan.
10. Their children met them at the door-barefooted, shabby, motley and
unkempt. But what could one expect? Jan E. Matzelinger invented the Shoe Lasting Machine, Walter Sammons invented the Comb, Sarah Boone invented the Ironing Board and George T. Samon invented the Clothes Dryer.
11. Finally, they were resigned to at least have dinner amidst all of
this turmoil. But here again, the food had spoiled because another Black Man, John Standard invented the refrigerator.
Now, isn't that something? What would this Country be like without the contributions of Blacks, as African-Americans? Martin Luther King, Jr., "by the time we leave for work, Americans have depended on the inventions from the minds of Blacks."
Later,

P.S. See all that and we can still party together!! :)

well you seem to have forgotten the man who invented plasma. I don't recal his name but he was also a black man that invented it and then one day he got hit by a car and was refused at the emergency room because of his color and he then died.. so if your posting facts. make it count. ;)
since your posting facts this is one I know. ;)

I heard on the radio today, (from a black woman host) that 70% of black babies are born into a one parent home.....:(
It's just a little humor. Lighten up. ( No pun intended)
We make fun of everyone around here. ;) :rolleyes:

You guys are cold......Better watch it...One of my friends has told me he is going to arrange a million man boat regatta and drive all us white people off of the lake. That shit was funny and he had me rolling.
By the way....I told him the best place for that would be Havasu, Mead, Blythe, Parker or Needles.....:)
