The 8-28 Rally

August 27, 2010

While I am working on something on the whole Islam thing, I thought it was appropriate to mention the rally being put on by Glenn Beck tomorrow.  It is appropriate because it brings to light one of the unexplainable phenomena I mentioned in my last post.  That would be why black Americans support the liberal cause.  Rev(?) Walter Fauntroy made the following statement in reference to the event

“We are going to take on the barbarism of war, the decadence of racism, and the scourge of poverty, that the Ku Klux — I meant to say the Tea Party…You all forgive me, but I — you have to use them interchangeably.”

You see now why I have put a question mark after his title.  I doubt very seriously Martin Luther King would applaud Mr. Fauntroy on his comments.  I would argue that if he were still alive today, he probably would be a part of the Tea Party Movement on some level.  After all, he was a conservative.  If you check out the links I listed in my last post you will understand why. Maybe Mr. Fauntroy should have also noticed that Martin Luther King’s niece, Dr. Alveda King, is speaking at the rally.  She has a very good opinion piece published in The Christian Science Monitor on the event.
