  1. This was an important moment in time when the people in affluent neighborhoods were finally confronted with the fact that America was in deep social turmoil.

    1. the unfortunate thing here is that at a time when we should be celebrating our progress as a city, the losers will just dwell on their own hate and agenda.

      That's the real legacy of those riots that didn't do much for the memory of a man of peace.

  4. 5:59 the people in affluent neighborhoods were not confronted.

    The stupid blacks burned down their own businesses, especially along Prospect.

  5. Pop some corks and celebrate the destruction and dysfunction. We have come a long way and have made so much progress.

    In spite of the 19 Trillion Dollars spent on "evening the playing field" since then and the abject failure of same, we can take solace in how the Overton Window has moved and we, as a society have adjusted.

    Now, when the usual, predictable, violent disruptions take place over some "hero" from the upper crust of black society who is sacrificed on the altar of "white racism", we give those new heroes in the black community, who stand on the shoulders of the greats, like Michael Brown and Freddie Grey, "Room To Destroy". Then, in a paroxysm of ethnomasochistic insanity, we film, then produce hagiographies to the newly sainted drug dealing, murdering, raping violent filth and genuflect in honor of their heroics during the National Anthem.

    This will be another opportunity to reinforce our sick, twisted, psyches into pretzels as we continue to wreck our neighborhoods, cities and states into one big fuckin nation wide East St. Louis Progressive paradise.

  6. They should really just combine all these 'racial strife' days into a two-day holiday like Thanksgiving. "Rorke's Drift Days"

  7. I wish they would riot (steal, burn, loot, murder each other) again. The fat fake Reverends can blame it on white people..

  8. 7:08 And award a "Victoria Cross" to the victims of Black Violence. A new cottage industry, a factory would be needed to produce the numbers required.

  11. Wow. ANOTHER MLK piece? Tony, you are really fishing for dummies today. Looks like you caught chuck again. Big deal. Everybody who trolls catches chuck. He's too stupid to know he's being trolled, plus he's the only one who takes him seriously. Typical responses from dummies. The smarter TKC crowed as moved beyond this topic. All that's left are the bottom feeders.

  15. These east side ministers have too much time on their hands. Very divisional with their influence on the City Government. Mixing religion and politics is a very bad idea...

    ReplyDelete
  16. Bottom feeders keep chumming the bait. You all have a lot more to say about this very relevant topic(not)!

  17. This has nothing to with respect for Dr King. It is all about the fat fake reverends being ableto drive their Escalades down MLK so they can say they won.

    ReplyDelete
  18. ^^Yes, carry on bottom feeder. You're making a difference!

  19. Let's Honor Both Men!

    NAME IT KING TRUMP BOULEVARD!

    That way, when the neo-nazis overthrow the Government in 2020,we'll be at the front of the pack when all Cities are required to name a street after our "Beloved Leader"
