Watched the 60th anniversary of the 63 march on Washington last night on TV.
Now I see this gentleman doing his utmost in North Dakota.
Strangely enough racists on Stormfront are distancing themselves from him

I wouldn't expect otherwise. That guy looks like a former hippie who tripped once too often & boiled his brains. Nothing intellectual about him.

63 march in 1953?
I take it you mean the march in 1963 where a Dr. Martin Luther King gave his famous "I have a dream" speech. :-6
Anyway, I find it interesting you go from that to a small town in North Dakota, population of like 16 people.
Leith, North Dakota
In all due respect to the fine folk who live there and have to put up with that loon, I think about the thousands of fine folk living on or around Martin Luther King Blvd, Los Angeles.
Maybe just a matter of perspective.

I speed read it earlier, and thought they were calling him a self publicist nutter but unless they removed some posts I can't see those posts anymore.
The general consensus is that he has lost a good opportunity by shooting his mouth off too early in the game.

It is my mathmatics that are flawed not my thinking.
Calling a boulevard after a dead african American in Los Angeles doesn't solve the creeping problems in Leith, the two things are only remotely related.

I don't think they're related at all. Strawman.

Thank you, just as if the, uh 50th anniversary thingy had anything directly related to Leigh ND.
I grew up in Los Angeles and knew better than walk along or near MLK Blvd, especially after dark. I would advise thel same when visiting an any major city with a MLK road.
So there is a story of a city, Leigh, ND with zero crime while ignoring crime all over the nation.
Go figure.

I was linking them on the basis that although 50 years have passed, the likes of Craig Cobb and your good self still react to colour illogically.
The logic according to some is the high percentage of blacks jailed in the USA is because blacks carry a criminal gene.

T.D. is not wrong to take precautions on any street with that name, or Marcus Garvey, or Malcolm X, etc. These streets are always named in the poorest & most crime ridden areas almost exclusively black neighborhoods. It's pandering more than honoring.

I should have limited the MLK remark to Los Angeles and Chicago. Los Angeles because I lived there most all my life and am familiar with its history of high murder rate. Chicago because of my interest in its high murder rate of recent years. Chicago took the title of murder capital from Los Angeles.
There are other high crime areas of Los Angeles I steer clear of. East Los Angeles, Latino gangs.
North Hills, lived there in the early 70's. It was low rent trash then and with the help of drug dealing has only downhill since.
I deal in reality. I realize that the places I avoid are mainly populated by decent people. I feel bad for those folk because in my life had to experience some of that life. Makes me wonder why the hell they stay there.
Bruv;1439821 wrote: So.....why do you keep clear of MLK avenue after dark ?
I misspoke. I keep clear both day and night.
Actually it wasn't all that hard for me to avoid South Central LA or East LA as I didn't live near either place. Distance of 30-40 miles or so. For like 3 years I did work in East LA.
North Hills was like 4-5 miles away. I planed my life such as I would have no reason to ever be there.
There are other places, to many to list here I would avoid for any number of reasons.
In reality though, the scum drive cars and have no problem spreading their filth.

That's not accurate.Streets named after Martin Luther King, Jr. can be found in many cities of the United States and in nearly every major metropolis in America. There are also a number of other countries that have honored King, including Italy and Israel. The number of streets named after King is increasing every year, and about 70% of these streets are in Southern states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas. King's home state of Georgia had the most, with 75 streets as of 2001;[1] this had increased to 105 as of 2006.[2]
As of 2003, there were over 600 American cities that had named a street after King.[1] By 2004, this number had grown to 650, according to NPR.[3] In 2006, Derek Alderman, a cultural geographer at East Carolina University, reported the number had increased to 730, with only 11 states in the country without a street named after King.[2]
The following is a list of prominent streets named after Martin Luther King Jr.
To name just two.Akron, Ohio
The OH-59 freeway in downtown Akron, formerly the Akron Innerbelt, is now the Martin Luther King Jr. Expressway. Also, a part of OH-59 just after this expressway ends is known as Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
Cincinnati, Ohio
Martin Luther King Drive is a major crosstown artery in Cincinnati. It connects the west side of the city to the east, running through several historic uptown neighborhoods. It will open in 2015.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_st ... r_King,_Jr.

Ya think? So you're the scum referred to in your post? Maybe we should define 'scum' in this context. Since you were the first to use the term, I'll allow you to do the defining.

I believe I answered you that I don't have to put up with his name calling. To old for this nonsense.
I have had it with him. I avoid him, but he seems, from day one determined to be a pest.
No way can I stop him from stalking me here. Considering most of what he says is not well thought out it is easy to just ignore him.
As far as calling murderers, rapists, robbers etc. scum, I am only bothered there is not a more appropriate term to convey my disgust and hatred towards such folk.
It is one thing on this site to effectively ridicule another's argument, how one came to whatever conclusion etc., I expect that, live for it.

The problem is when you say scum you are not defining them as above. It appears that you are in general calling certain people who live in certain areas as scum. It appears all the people who live there are covered by the same blanket.
Our tribe (I love when you say that) should be immune to name-calling by now. I believe you not only can ignore it, I believe you should learn to accurately describe just who you are calling "scum" & "feral", etc by using a few more key strokes, else you are being too vague & you are allowing others to fill in the blanks.

Ahso! anyone who goes around anywhere should be very careful of what/who is around them. Not to do so is stupid. And to be extra-careful in high crime areas? Worse than stupid, suicidal. Nothing wrong or racist in that, it's survival. I always am aware of my surroundings wherever & whenever I am anywhere.

Nothing wrong or racist in that, it's survival. I always am aware of my surroundings wherever & whenever I am anywhere.

Just allow me to engage TD on what he's said and cease trying to mediate. Otherwise, If you've got something of substance to add, please do.

You're just pissed that I'm saying what you don't want to hear Ahso! I'm not trying to mediate anything, just stating my opinion when & where I want to.
5 kids? That's a lot of kids.
Anyhow, what you are saying, or the way you are saying it, makes it appear it is racist or wrong to care about personal safety. It isn't. & women generally know that as well or better than men.
I remember TD telling a story that when he goes to fish he brings his gun because there was a murder nearby. In my mind, being in a lonely rural area is, or can be, extremely life-threatening & because it's America, he is right to bring his gun & in that situation I think I would too.

Thank you. I know you're being sarcastic but I also know, or think I know (maybe it's my fantasy) that you're a lot better than what you're currently projecting.

For the record, I like myself just fine, as do others, thank you. Will you now just stop derailing the thread?

I like you too. The thread may go on other courses, but it is Bruv's thread & therefore up to him as to whether *I* derailed it.

Now I see this gentleman doing his utmost in North Dakota.
Strangely enough racists on Stormfront are distancing themselves from him
That march took place in a capiltal city named after a white slave owner. I like to believe the currents and tides of history is against bigots and racists of all kinds. Passing rats turds in the sewers of life.

T.D. is not wrong to take precautions on any street with that name, or Marcus Garvey, or Malcolm X, etc. These streets are always named in the poorest & most crime ridden areas almost exclusively black neighborhoods. It's pandering more than honoring.This is about the five NYC boroughs? You honestly think TD was referring to NY in the post you're referring to? Maybe you should read and reply more carefully.

You honestly think that the definition of 'derail' is dependent on how the OP author defines it on the fly? No Anne, that's not how it works.

Yes, those lovely structures were built by SLAVE labor. That should be made really clear to everyone.

Oh, so now you think you can bug me? That's a laugh. I've faced down some really life-threatening people & situations in my life. Try someone else.

Sigh...................
My thread was meant to show how despite the passing of time from that landmark event, there are still people who are stuck in a time warp.
I understand that some areas are dangerous, many are..........'ethnic' areas, it might be Turks in Germany, Algerians in France, in the US it's Latinos and Blacks.
I got the impression that Tude was lumping some black areas as problem areas, because......they are black....areas.
I think it is more complicated than that...........thats all.

I knew where you were coming from Bruv. But I also know where Tude is coming from too. Humans tend to "group" I guess and become very insular under a banner of oppression or ill conceived ideologies. I think (and Tude can correct me if I'm wrong) was saying it's across the board.
Lets face it......these days if I showed up a the local country club, patrons would be asking "Does she 'belong' here?" (Just between you and me I'd bloody well hope not.) And may use violence to extract me from their presence. black/white, rich/poor, girl guide/boy scout. Everybody groups .
I think Tude is correct in his meaning and comparison if I'm reading him right. Extremes can be on both sides of the post.

I think Anne had a point in that I am not always that clear in expressing what I mean. Have to consider that everyone knows me or what I am about.
