Thomas Hart Benton

(1965)

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
When Dr. King was growing up, the Democrats controlled the south. When he matured, entered the seminary, and started his calling, Democrats controlled the south. When Dr. King entered the protest movement, the Democrats controlled the south. When he was murdered, the Democrats ruled the south

The Democrats controlled the south during the whole period of slavery in the south. They controlled the south during the period of repression after the Civil War.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr?

He was probably a Republican.

You and I know how that's going to work out.

Slavery
You have probably heard this one before, but let me paraphrase it again.

A Free People Own Guns. Slaves Don't.

Trash

Black people go crazy.

Overheard

"It seems that the age of drone swarms has arrived, and that's a terrifying reality to comprehend."

"Facebook's continued lack of transparency and piecemeal response to outside pressure is dangerous precisely because, as Zuckerberg's employees have argued, the blame doesn't belong to Facebook alone. Yet, they control the data and levers of power. Real progress on abuse and propaganda will depend on whether Facebook empowers qualified third-party experts, faces real competition to do better, listens to its most vulnerable users, or has to face some form of regulatory oversight. But reclassifying "fixing Facebook" as a personal challenge doesn't indicate a willingness to cede control."
