January 18, 2021: While most of the political attention in 2020 was on the presidential race, there were also 5,875 state legislative seats up for regularly scheduled elections on November 3. As a result of the elections, control of 315 seats flipped from one party to another.[1]Republicans gained a net 141 seats, Democrats lost a net 133 seats, and independent and third party candidates lost a net eight seats. Other than Hawaii, every state holding state legislative elections saw at least one seat flip parties.[1]Fifty seats flipped party control in New Hampshire, the most of any state. Forty-nine of those seats flipped to Republicans — 48 from Democrats and one from a Libertarian. One seat flipped from Republican to Democrat. As a result, both chambers of the New Hampshire General Court changed from Democratic to Republican control.[1]- Rasmussen

Sad to say, but likely true for most Americans.Even so, King's legacy plays out in different ways----just ask Kamala Harris on Wednesday. Or the new black Senator from Georgia. Then again, don't ask the ADL, who is keenly aware of the actions and words and plans of Ya'll Quaeda. They aren't feeling the love from Americans today anymore than MLK did then.Yeah...What the fuck does she know?She knows what she's been told. She's only 57. Not sure why you'd miss the larger point other than for the convenience of avoiding real discussion.

This, in turn, is posted to Bambu, to explain some of why looking out for others is important to many of us:
“Justice” for black America cannot be achieved by framing it solely through the distorted lens of the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others in fatal police encounters. For every unarmed black American killed by the police, hundreds are killed in neighborhood homicides.Those who call for the defunding of police departments, such as leaders of the official Black Lives Matter organization, are silent about this inconvenient truth. They have a narrative and cannot let the facts get in the way. Their story is that the whole of American history is stained and the whole of America must be overthrown. When citizens declare that they support Black Lives Matter, do they share its opposition to the nuclear family, its objective of abolishing the police, and its view that the Christian cross is a symbol of white supremacy? These positions of the organization—language that has largely been scrubbed from its website—in no way improve the lives of black Americans. They give up on black America and encourage its needless suffering.Like all Americans, blacks have triumphed over their circumstances only when they have adopted bourgeois virtues such as hard work, respect for learning, self-disci-pline, faith and per-sonal responsibility. In the 19th century, Frederick Douglass found reading to be the key to his own personal liberation amid slavery, and he understood that whites deliberately withheld literacy from blacks precisely because it was so valuable. Bourgeois values drove blacks to build the powerful religious, fraternal, and other voluntary associations that helped them thrive in the worst days of Jim Crow and cultivated the essential virtues in the next generation.Tellingly, leftist elites teach their own children the values of working and studying hard even as they encourage behavior among blacks that will make sure they remain uncompetitive but “authentic.” By the time young blacks today discover, as did the slaves of Douglass’s time, that freedom understood as “do whatever you feel like” is no way to build a worthwhile life, it will be too late. The fruits of the civil-rights movement’s hard labor—teaching the young to be so self-disci-plined that they were able to resist respond-ing in kind to hatred and abuse from whites—will have been lost.We must turn away from the present course, which preaches despair rather than hope. Black achievement must be glorified. The crucifixion of black America by the radical left must halt. There is a grander, more fruitful future for us all.Excerpted from the Wall Street Journal article Jan 15, 2021- How the Left Hijacked Civil Rights authored by Robert Woodson, Sr.and Joshua MitchellMr. Woodson, a veteran of the civilrights movement, is founder and president of the Woodson Center and author, most recently, of “Lessons From the Least of These: The Woodson Principles.” Mr. Mitchell is a Washing-ton Fellow at the Clare-mont Center for the American Way of Life and author of “American Awakening: Identity Politics and Other Afflictions of Our Time.”
