Kind of the way MLK,Jr gets remembered.
Feet of clay, feet of clay.
Such a stupid, predictable comparison, designed purely to raise the hackles of others. I wish you would return to posting without intending to provoke and irritate.
Why is the comparison unfair?
Explain.
Oh, look.
A sea lion and it isn't even Ward.
"Stupid... intending to provoke and irritate."
If you want to assert that it's unfair, too, I will accept it.
Why don't you explain how the two are similar, Napoleon? After you do that, I will explain why it is a stupid comparison.
p.s. Given your idiotic use of Sealand as a country last time, I fully expect you to try something like, "well, if you can't say why it's unfair, then it must be fair." All that will do is illustrate your cowardice in making outlandish claims that you can't substantiate but won't back down from.
I guess you can't answer the question. But you don't have to lie, Josh. You brought up Sealand.
I did. I brought it up as the sort of answer you were likely to give.
And you confirmed it.
And of course you said "I guess you can't answer the question."
And you can't answer mine, which makes your statement stupid.
Or rather, illustrates what I already said.
Coward.
Your delusional behavior is noted.
Still no answer.
Still no basis for your comparison.
Still a coward.
My only delusion in this instance was thinking there might be something you could and would say to support your comparison.
So, coward, here is why it was a stupid comparison:
Robert E. Lee was a traitor to his country.
Robert E. Lee was a slave owner, for all that he claimed not to want to be.
Robert E. Lee oversaw the brutal punishment of his slaves, including dishing some out himself.
Robert E. Lee's image was
intentionally polished to make him seem like a better person than he was over an extended period of time by people who benefited from hiding the truth about him.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was not a traitor to his country.
Martin Luther King, Jr. did not own slaves.
Martin Luther King, Jr. did not punish slaves nor is there any evidence to suggest he was brutal to
anybody.
Martin Luther King, Jr's image has been intentionally warped [ii]by people with the same viewpoint as those who polished Lee's image, to make King seem less opposed to them than he was, co-opting his words and carefully trimming them.
Both were flawed human beings, but King's flaws were of a different degree and nature than Lee's, while the image-warping was done to elevate one and drag the other down a few notches - both the elevate whites who were and are anti-African-Americans.
Respond with substance or don't respond at all, Napoleon.
