Drinking From the Cup of Bitterness and Hatred

[Geee]

American Spectator:

 

It is important that we commemorate the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Dr. King not only arguably delivered the greatest speech spoken on American soil, but his words were a critical turning point in the history of civil rights in America. When King said that he dreamt of the day that his children would be judged by the content of the character instead of the color of their skin, it was the point at which many white Americans began to rethink their views about blacks.

Yet half a century later, it is sadly and painfully apparent that Dr. King’s successors have outright ignored his inspiring words:

And that is something that I must say to my people who stand on the worn threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

Unfortunately, this country’s most prominent black leaders have spent many years drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. Their thirst shows no signs of satiation.
