I know you are one of those that think everything is about you, but if you want to read back it is clear I am responding to more than one person.

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Boom Boom I have two shelves of books about MLK including several books of quotations. Many of those quotes are over my work space including the one above. As I said I have done scholarly work on MLK. MLK was just a man shoved into a position of leadership. I revere him, but I do not deify him.

Okay I never use language like this. But that is the stupidest fucking thing I have read in weeks.

Long thread.
