Equal Time: BAB v. Martin Luther King, Jr.

[Born Again Bob]

Dear Friends,

Unfortunately, many historical figures with whom we True Christians™ differ pass on before we can engage them in constructive dialogue. One such person is Martin Luther King, Junior. Thankfully, based on direct quotes from Dr. King's body of work, we have been able to reconstruct how such an exchange would go.

Therefore, I present to you:

EQUAL TIME:



BAB: "Dr. King, thank you for joining me for this conversation."

MLK: "Lawz, ol' Martin ain't no doctor -- I'ze jus' a kindly ol' Tom who do go on!" Strength to Love, introduction, p. ii.

BAB: "But you do realize that everyone calls you Doctor King? Is that just a fraud on your part?"

MLK: "I supposition dat about the one time I stepped in a dawg's turd -- welladay, ebber since den all dem pickaninnies be callin' me Dawg-Turd Martin and dont it stick!" Strength to Love, introduction, p. ii-iii.

BAB: "Martin, I think the state of black leadership in the nation today is deplorable. The demand for equal opportunity has given way to a culture of complaint and victimization. "President Obama was basically given the job as a pity vote. Any defense of the movement you kickstarted?"

MLK: "Las' thing Negros find nessitacious iz a buncha high yallers think they better'n white folk. Al-a-us gotta hole on for white folk let'n us boat when dey good an' ready." The Trumpet of Conscience, p. 67.

BAB: "Really? Are...black people interested in boating?"

MLK: "Shucks, I dun meant VOTE... Lawdy, ol' Martin can't rightly think straight widda pie whiftin' in the breeze from yonder winda!" The Trumpet of Conscience, p. 68.

BAB: "Tell me, since we seem to be surprisingly on the same page, is there any respect in which you're proud of what the civil rights movement has accomplished since your death?"

MLK: "[N]o." Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech.

BAB: "Do you see any reason at all that the country shouldn't just let the States go back to Jim Crow laws as they see fit?"

MLK: "[N]o." Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech.

BAB: "Thank you Martin, this has been a real eye-opening conversation. Any last words?"

MLK: "When Tater says he'z a gwine to take dat watermelon, I done tol' him mebbe Jesus be peepin' from Hev'm, an' he better don't." Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?, p. 5.

BAB: "Amen!"

Yours in Him,
bab

I celebrate his birthday every year by firing up my Weber grill and roasting a watermelon.

The world is so full of a number of things,
I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.
--Robert Louis Stevenson, 1885

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
--Martin Luther King, August 28, 1963

People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?
--Rodney King, May 1, 1992

Happy Martin Luther King Day. Still a long way to go.

What has any of this got to do with Jesus?

Too bad they are getting by on the influence of their last name.

I think King must be crying in the hereafter that his movement was hijacked by a socialist racist like Obama.

I can't believe it's been nearly a whole year since I last enjoyed this delicacy:

I believe Martin Luther King would approve of what Barack Obama is trying to do, although he might wish he would stand up more against Republican obstructionism.

I thought there would be no crying in Heaven. All us good people are supposed to be there thinking only of our own joy. Any crying that goes on in Hell is for a different reason.

Hey, it's all right with me. Just quoting the church authoritarians--I mean authorities. I doubt that Freehold Iowa has its own supreme court. Maybe you only think you are fair and balanced when you are in fact unfair and unbalanced. Just sayin'

Did I say I was talking about Jesus? Liberal Christians would say it has everything to do with Jesus, as Martin Luther King was doing the work of Jesus. I don't care myself. I know something about the life of MLK, whom I deeply admire, except for his religion, which I disagree with. Accounts of the life of Jesus are from long ago and deeply conflicted, and I disagree with his religion too.

Yes, there's a vast lake of fire, in which you will spend eternity.

What does this have to do with Martin Luther King, Jr.?

You can't prove that. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

If I had provided the context I would have incurred another infraction for being a vain repeater. As it is the above statement was worth 100 points (never expiring) as an infraction for sassing a true christian. Is there a corresponding infraction for sassing a true atheist?

There is a connection in that I believe Martin Luther King would approve my tenacity in fighting back (passively).

No. You've been told you are not welcome here, yet you insist on polluting this forum with your inane yammering and incessant whining.

I think Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would think you're a whiny little bitch, and tell you to stop calling him by his father's name.

Despite the despicable Democrats trying to rewrite history, Martin Luther King was a lifelong Republican. It was the Democrat Jim Crow laws he was fighting – and the KKK, yes – they were Democrats. Dwight D. Eisenhower (Republican) passed the 1957 civil rights laws and sent federal troops to desegregate the Arkansas public schools.

In the 26 major civil rights votes after 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 percent of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 percent of the votes.

"Brainless" is an appropriate nom de plume for your uninformed drivel. Republicans are saving this country from the socialism of Obama.
