Reverse Discrimination

I believe I got to 30 minutes into the video and I'll probably disagree with whatever point he will eventually (hopefully) make.

I'd like to read your thoughts if you feel like posting them. You hope to disagree w/ him?

He's a racist. It's hard to listen to racist propaganda for long. I find it ironic and sad that racist preachings come out in the name of a man who fought so hard to end it.

Acknowledging race is inherently racist. Sometimes I think what MLK stood for is lost to America.

No, acknowledging race is not inherently racist. You should understand the difference. To discriminate on the basis of race is racist. To acknowledge does not mean to discriminate.

Yeah, but giving such importance to something so trivial is ridiculous. There's a big difference between race and heritage. My implication was that the two are so frequently, wrongly grouped together. I thought we were past colonialism and, thanks in part to Dr. King, are where the only race that someone is is human.

I just putting in my 2 cents about race in general.
