If you say yes plese compare on it. If you say no please compare?\nExample:\n\nNO\nMartin L King was fighting for( justices) the laws of the nation that was not up held towards legal citizens in this nation ( African Americans).And protest for fair hiring practices and the desegregation of department-store facilities towards LEGAL CITIZENS. What people dont relize is that MLK did not just fight for African Americans King turned his attention to the domestic issue that he felt was directly related to the Vietnam struggle: poverty. He called for a guaranteed family income, he threatened national boycotts, and he spoke of disrupting entire cities by nonviolent "camp-ins." With this in mind, he began to plan a massive march of the poor on Washington, D.C., envisioning a demonstration of such intensity and size that Congress would have to recognize and deal with the huge number of desperate and downtrodden AMERICANS. So dont claim what you dont understand.http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/mlk/king/biography.html

Hey Maj Johnson!\nWhat the hell do you think that our "Rulers" want to protect us from "so called terrorists", no it is to fulfill the ancient human desire to dominate. Like all the king from past, US Kings think on the same lines. Understood!\nMoreover, Isolated Foreign Policy? Has our country a foreign policy? I'm flabbergasted, Man??????\n\nSo Maj! Please tell it to your seniors to force the ruler to call the forces back, save the lives of own soldiers, innocent Iraqis, Military resources, weapon and equipment.

MLK was an ordained minister... while some more conservative sects (I assume you mean the Christian Church) will point to biblical texts stating that there is no authority but which is ordained by God, there are multiple interpertations on that text. Most Christians would say that they are in favor of civil disobedience... especially because to some extent the early church was involved in civil disobedience just by worshipping (see: nero) and if you look at the lives of the martyrs they were as well, for example St. Valentine was preforming illegal wedding ceremonies I'm not sure as to the Vatican's stance, I know the society of friends advocates civil disobedience in the form of refusing to take part in war, the mainstream protestant denominations are as a whole silent and allow it to be addressed issue by issue (many who are arrested blocading abortion clinics were encouraged to do so by their pastors but the evangelical church was not so keen on the civil rights movement-- oops)

Dr. King's house was bombed Jan 30th, 1956.  He was attending evening services at the First Baptist Church:\n\n"Three nights later, on January 30, I left home a little before seven to attend our Monday evening mass meeting at the First Baptist Church. A member of my congregation had come to the parsonage to keep my wife company in my absence. About nine-thirty they heard a noise in front that sounded as though someone had thrown a brick. In a matter of seconds an explosion rocked the house. A bomb had gone off on the porch. \n\nAfter word of the bombing reached the mass meeting, everybody attempted to keep it from me. People looked at me and then away; one or two seemed about to approach me and then changed their minds. Soon I noticed several of my fellow ministers going in and out of the church in a rather unusual manner, and from this I surmised that something had happened. Unable to restrain my curiosity any longer, I called three of my closest associates and urged them to tell me what had happened. I assured them that I was prepared for whatever it was. Ralph Abernathy said hesitantly, "Your house has been bombed." \n\n-"The Autobiography of Martin Luther King"

by Martin Luther King\n"Whenever this issue [compensatory treatment] is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree, but should ask for nothing more."\n\nthat is what he said the white man will say. \n\n "On the surface, this appears reasonable, but is not realistic. For it is obvious that if a man enters the starting line of a race three hundred years after another man, the second would have to perform some incredible feat in order to catch up." \n"A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for him, to equip him to compete on a just and equal basis." \n"... for 15 centuries the Negro was enslaved and robbed of any wages — potential accrued wealth which would have been the legacy of his descendants. All of America's wealth today could not adequately compensate its Negroes for his centuries of exploitation and humiliation. \n\nHe was a leader how did he fail his people. The real question is what is whites excuse not to be successful. When they had 400 years of benefiting for slavery. Somethings black never had, some still do get that benefit. Others wasn't even allowed to vote until 1965.

I Hear you, I believe that no matter what America belongs to everyone who is willing to live and work! Immigrants do not come to Live Free, we all come to live the American Dream which obiously has been torn and burned into pieces. Remember MLK said I HAVE A DREAM....

OK.\n\nListen.\n\nEven as we speak, I have read the reaction from the Hispanic community in Southern California.  Just as our Congress is debating how to deal with this, the ELECTED LEADERS down there are plotting how to defy AND BREAK OUR LAWS AGAIN and have stated that they would do anything from non-conformity to armed revolution if they don't get what they want above the wishes of the citizens of the entire United States.\n\nThey don't consider Southern California part of the United States, and I would imagine if they are doing it - so are other states with a large Hispanic population.  They build there power from the confidence of Mexico and the sucess of forcing two million people to move out of the state.\n\nTime and again I am told there is no discernable difference between Southern California and Mexico.\n\nEven Clinton told a group of Hispanics at one of their functions he thought he'd be the last President to speak English.\n\nYou do the math.

What Dr. Know Says is true except he left out one bit of fact:\n\nWe fought for it and won!  Now unless some other country wants to stand up and fight for it (say Mexico for example) like we did, then I suggest they shut the f*ck up and go back to their own country!  We made laws so that we could keep undesirables out of our perfect country.  If they can't abide by our laws and respect our rules thereby showing respect to us as a Nation then they should not be allowed to live here!\n\nAdri:  Wah, wah wha!  Here's a novel idea:  Stay in their own country and fight to make it better for there decendants instead of coming over here demanding rights they did not earn.  Those jobs you mentioned would be done by Americans for a decent wage if the low life criminals who call themselves immigrants weren't stealing those jobs just by coming over here and making themselve available for cheap labor.\n\nRicky:  That's the first intelligent thing I've read on yahoo answers today.\n\nQuack:  You are so right.  You rock!

I think there is a lot of historical revisionism going on here...well thats assuming that you have any actual knowledge of what you are talking about. Certainly your knowledge of British history is lamentable. Are you suggesting that the American Revolution has been the only 'pure' revolution in world history? I don't understand the reference to communism. The doctrine of Communism was a 19th century one, which really didn't get into full swing until the Russian Revolution of 1917. What about the Glorious Revolution of of 1688 when Britain kicked out King James II and the barons and nobles installed William of Orange and his wife Mary to the British throne? No one died, there were  no battles (at the time at least) and there was a smooth transition of power. Not bad for a country that "always gave in to the king". (oh and as an aside, we had beheaded another King earlier in the same century... but perhaps we were too busy "giving in" to him to notice.) History is never as clear cut as you may want it to be. There was a large Colonial army that fought on the British side against the Revolutionaries that tends to be forgotten about, as it is always the victors that write the history books. It is interesting that many black americans fought in the Colonial army as they saw the British as a better bet for their eventual freedom than Washington et al. Mmmm. I wonder if they saw their so called masters as enlightened revolutionaries, or brutal slave owners who maintained their grip over these poor people by terrorising them with chains, whips and torture. I think we all need to be very careful before holding ourselves up as paragons of virtue.

I am not sure I understand the question.\n\nFirst of all, I was impressed with the order and tact from the marchers I saw reflected in the major networks (although I've already spent more time here than watching the news.)  I saw few Mexican flags, and was able to believe those weren't meant badly.  In that sense, I think the protests were a success.\n\nHowever, did anything else happen today that we weren't expecting?  I think that is what people mean when they say 'it didn't change anything.'  We expected to see massive marches, and we did.  The areas that rely on low pay Hispanic workers (legal and illegal immigrants) were empty and many purportedly closed.  \n\nHowever, if you believe that had different, available workers from within the country been hired, the businesses would have stayed open, the only point that remains is that large numbers of people marched.  And, deserving of respect, they kept it peaceful, and upbeat.\n\nNot 12 million people marched, and we know there are 12 million illegal immigrants here, so, if people were surprised, they haven't been thinking.

It has everything to do with the principles the USA was founded on.  (i.e. slavery, elitism, etc)\n\n\nThat being said, of course I do not agree with him.

Johnson played both sides in the civil rights battle.  He pacified groups that opposed the civil rights act before he bowed to pressures to expand civil rights.  In the end, he played his part for political reasons unlike MLK who acted based on the principles he believed in.

I think it just solidified the antagonism felt on both sides. Personally, I am against illegal immigrants from any country.  The key word is ILLEGAL. By doing what they did, I think they just made legal citizens angrier with them and much less likely to feel any sympathy.  Why do they think they have the right to demand a privilege be given to them that so many others worked so hard to obtain? It lessens the value of what the legal immigrants obtained, and sends the message that we'll just throw our hands up and say, "Oh, okay, if you insist, come on in illegally.  We'll yell a little bit then let you stay."  Can you imagine the flood of illegals we'll get if these people are given amnesty?

... well... if a state passed slavery, would you support it... \n\nnow, this isn't quite the same... granted, but I don't think it's right, just because the majority wants it either... \n\nthe simple fact is... minorities get paid less and hired less when there is no affirmative action in place... affirmative action tries to fix the problem... \n\nis just ignoring the fact that they get paid less a better way to go?

well first at all i think that there is not connection between saying that illegals should not have rights because African Americans were not given their rights for centuries . i do not think that all African Americans are against legalization , but being agains it because of the way they were treated on the past just doesn't make any sense . \n\nthat is completely against the DREAM of having a society where everyone is treated whit respect giving them the right which every human should have in society .\n\nthe right to work , the right to be paid for working  , the right to receive medical attention , the right to give medical attention whit out caring on the legality of a person , the right which gives being positive to society by BUILDING TOWERS NOT DESTROYING THEM all of this are HUMAN RIGHTS and according to MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR EVERY HUMAN HAVE HUMAN RIGHTS .

I saw a sign on the way in this morning that said:\n"Illegals want the same rights as citizens"  That is want they think they are going to get.  By the way, I saw at least 50 day laborers in front of our local Home Depot.\nMaybe they think a boycott is something a young male child sleeps on.

Do people see the "ILLEGAL" in front of immigrants? I am so tied of people saying “your ancient were immigrants" HELLO we did not have a law on illegal immigrants during those times. \n\nAnd why are you throwing that this way I'm an African American my ancient were drag over here, and their kids had to fight for rights that should have been giving to them on birth.  So when they went to the streets for Civil Rights it was because of the 13th amendment. Not because they jump over a wall. \n\n\nAnd to say that they work the jobs American don't want PLEASE TAKE THAT S%%# some where else the fact of the matter is that they work jobs for less, so that they can get them illegal. If you saw the news illegal immigrants hold waiter jobs (Americans work them), construction jobs (Americans work them), cashier (American work them), housekeeping (Americans work them), warehouse jobs (Americans work them), and etc. I can go on but the whole thing about the jobs are that illegal immigrants will work for less pay then an legal citizen will so a business will hire them first for the low pay. Many Americans who are low in education try for these jobs and are turned away because it is a bid on the lowest paid worker.\n\nBut if you don’t agree with me I don’t care because in November the Congress will feel my words, on my vote.
