Coretta Scott King, Why all the fuss?

from JoeUser Forums
What’s the deal about Coretta Scott King?

If I see one more tribute to the dead wife of slain black leader Martin Luther King I am going to scream.

So what? She died, what’s the big deal? All this flying flags at half-mast for what reason? She was no national hero, She did nothing great, and her big claim to fame is her husband was killed.

Where were all the tributes when Jackie Kennedy died? Where was her body laid in state?

This is just more politically correct garbage; if she were white there would not be such a display.

How have we let America fall into such a place that we “honor” someone not for what she did, but for the color of her skin?

Why don't all you red necks go back to your trailer and pull out your white sheets. It is pretty obvious that you are all racist. What did Mrs. King do to you all but try to end the way you treat the black race. Everyone who has something negative to say is a true RED NECK and God knows your heart. ENJOY Hell.

Why dont you quit being a coward, and come out from under your sheet?  What a complete moron!  Hiding behind his mother's skirt and sniping.  That takes a lot of courage.

Well... I have to say many don't quite get it. I was on the bus and a few kids were talking about it and they were saying, "what exactly did she do?"

First, just because Jackie O didn't get it doesn't mean someone else can

Second, she did allot more than eing a wife to a husband that did allot for others and did allot to her in times of marritail hardship

Finally, while I don't agree to all of the hoopla, I can see why she got it and its because she was the women who supported a man who changed the way America looks upon its own residents.








I think many here under estimate what Dr. King did for this nation (whether you black or white). Believe it when I say that the reasons why we have such a rubost economy is because EVERYONE can be involved in it. Not just a select few. Dr King made it so that even if someone thought 'yeah your white, but you don't have blue eyes so..' thata it wouldn't get to far.

Believe me when I say this: Black people can obviuosly be segragated, but the idea of 'I'm better than you because I was born that way' would have hurt many people posting on this message board who happen to be white, but forieners or from some communist country or from 'the dirty south' who refuses to believe the south lost.



So for those who juts can't see why, I think you should look again.

I don't quite get all the hoopla over Mrs King, but if it goes there, it should be understandable.

By the way, Jackie O is not a Coretta Scott King... she did NOT have to drink out of a 'colored' water fountian.

I also want to add this:

Without King or his supportive wife, the many people who made this country great but had to prove they (and their ideas) were worthy now get a real chance to be apart of the economy as a whole.

Remember WWI and WWI? If the American Goverment decided that they just were NOT going to use women to replace men in factories and other mostly male jobs, they would have HAD TO keep men from the war and put them to work at home.

What about all the advances in science, business and invesntions made by people of color or women or 'the forieners' and 'dirty south' made before Dr. ing? Do you think there would have been more if it wasn't for the fact that many were stopped in their tracks because they just were not white enough? Weren't christian enough? wasn't male enough?


Don't let the civil rights movement fool you. It wasn't just about rights, it was about access to oppertunity and the outcome is a huge economy full of innovation, human resources and power.


So I have to say that Mrs King has a little more over than some other wifes of leaders.

That's bunk, frankly. The civil rights movement was big machine, and King was one of the shinier cogs that people noticed. It's criminal that he has a national holiday in light of the thousands of people of all races that worked to make change, and also gave their lives. It should immediately be changed to "civil rights day" or some such in honor of the other people who fought and died for the rights of ALL races.

That was the problem i had with the statement that 'if it weren't for him..." yadda yadda. That's like saying if it weren't for Harriet Tubman, there'd still be slaves. Abolitionism was driven by literally hundreds of years of WASP involvement, too, but you'll never see a day devoted to them.

I hope that we can reverse the whole MLK day/Black History Month stuff eventually to be more equitable. The murdered white civil rights workers in Mississippi gave as much as MLK, as did many who devoted themselves to it and who are now forgotten.

I have noticed you throw stuff out there with not a single fact to back up what you try to put forth.


What exactly have I "thrown out there" without facts. That's particularly amusing coming from you. I don't think I've seen too many links in any of your posts. They seem to all be "Ramblings of a twisted mind". There's not too much I post here without links, so I'd love to see some examples of what you're talking about instead of regurgitating baloney rhetoric from Dr. Guy.

I really don't mind that you just spout off all kinds of BS though. I don't come here for the news and the hard facts, I get those from other places. What is the obsession with some of you guys about "proving" everything you say. You're entitled to your opinion, no matter how sick and twisted it may be, just as I do mine.

I sincerely would like to see what you're talking about with me throwing things out there without facts though.

I wonder, how long would slavery had lasted if a whole bunch of White people didn't decide it was a national tragedy?

Nothing would have changed if the majority didn't decide that enslaving other human beings was just plain evil.

Of course, everyone should be proud of their heritage, but we should be proud of our heritage because it is what made us who we are today.

Family everything, Race means nothing.

Gee, you honor me again!

As for links, that is a recent addition on your part, and welcome.  However, you do need to learn how to read the point and not link to irrelevancies.

Mu conscience is perfectly at ease. I've done many things in my life that I now regret (havent we all?) but nothing that I'm ashamed of. There's a big difference, you know? Hmm, never mind, I guess you don't.


You have the nerve to correct me??????? You better learn how to spell your ownself! Odios.....Bigots

Who the hell is this cmorton? I could go out on a limb here and say he has to be black. Let me tell you all something, I was born in the US but I come from spanish and black backgrounds. For many years I looked at a picture of my grandfather from my moms side and never realized he was black, not even native indian from, he has black in him. Blacks were also slaves in Puerto Rico many years ago, but I see no racism here everyone here has a little bit of everything. I guess because money is more important than skin color here.

Anyways, I myself have always wondered why there is a black history month and not a hispanic history month. I'm not sure why there should be a chinese history month but if there is a good reason then why not. I liveed in black neighborhoods before (meaning where blacks were majority, as in 85%) and I got tired of always hearing them complain about how they are treated bad because they were black. Funny, I got the same treatment as they did, my food would be brought cold at restaurants, they would not attend me immediately at stores, I was looked at as some kind of criminal, etc. Heck, I can say with true honesty that 90% of the time that I went to a fast food where black people were working, it took them too long to serve my food when there was no one in the drive thru before me, and I learn a lot about checking your bags before you leave the drive thru since they messed up my order 75% of the time.

I got nothing against blacks, I get along with anyone who gets along with me. I would love to be with a black girl, I hear they are freaky, I have seen many blacks become people of high positions. But I can't stand it when I hear all this "because I'm black" crap. I'm sure there are a few out there that probably do treat blacks bad because they are black, but does that mean that everyone has to pay for those few?

I admit I am not very trusty with people who had wierd pasts (say LW) and will probably have a very hard time getting along with them, but I can learn with time and eventually learn to trust if the person is genuinely changed. I see LW as a very nice, upfront, honest person who will standup for herself when she has to. And maybe her name may have been a coincidence or on purpose but that does not mean you have the right to insult her in that manner. And that bull about never have done nothing wrong is also bull because just what you have done today is something that many people regret in the future. You assume too much based on what you understand what people are saying or actually just looking for what you wanna see and besically ignoring everything else that will contradict what you are looking for in a person.

You are the most racist person I have seen here, claiming to not be racist while constantly attacking everyone else for the acts of those in the past as if actions are past down as an inheritance. We are no Klingons, we are humans. Those who commit crimes pay for their crimes not their next of kins. Mr. King would be ashamed of having someone like you defend him. This is not what he stood for, he wanted peace between all races, he wanted equality, not just for blacks but for everyone. And this is not what you (cmorton) stand for. Shame on you.

It's a good thing you told us you're not a racist.

How in the world do you combine the two things you did in that sentence together?

Only because you seem to "need" correcting.

Congratulations! You have just proved the theory that there is no limit to human stupidity. Dullard, do yourself and everyone else a favor: disconnect your computer from the Internet.

If brains were gasoline, you wouldn't have enough to drive an ant's Go-cart around the inside of a bottle cap. You wouldn't know a clue if it walked up to you, bit you on the ass, and announced 'I AM A CLUE'. You've got a big hole in your head, now shut it. When you are at a loss for words, your loss is our gain. Oh well, as the late Douglas Adams said: "You live and learn. At any rate, you live."

Reading your post is less interesting than watching paint dry. If wit was spit, your mouth would be drier than a shallow well in an African heat wave. There's nothing wrong with you that couldn't be cured with a little Prozac and a polo mallet, or, better yet, suicide. Maybe you wouldn't be such a Jerk-In-The-Box if you didn't have an intellect rivaled only by the Village Idiot's stupider brother; if your weren't so fat from all that cheap beer you spend your Welfare payments on that your belly jiggle is the first ever perpetual motion machine, or if you weren't uglier than the north-facing end of a south-bound mule. Who am I kidding? You would.

In closing, I suggest the next time that you feel an urge to embarrass yourself and bore others, that you summon all your might, and resist.

Thanks LW!

wow the blog has been busy , I take a couple days off and zoom so many replies.

This article was not met to hurt anyone or demean.

It was a simple question, Why all the fuss? so far none ohe responders from the left have come up with an answer to my query.

As USUAL THE ONLY THING FROM THE LEFT IS FINGER POINTING AND accusations, which today is typical.

I don't see your point, I guess my mentality is not up to your standards. Was I suppose to say something different? Maybe an African female or dark skined girl? Is this all you know what to do, nit-pick? You see one little thing and bam, everything else is useless? No wonder you get so steamed up with DrGuy. I don't understand, what exactly did I say wrong there? If it is not a problem for you to point out seeing that you like to point things out but never really say what you mean.

calm dj!` this is typical leftwing behavior to find one little thing and make a huge deal out of it, I think in their feeble tiny little brains that somehow negates every point you make.

You know davad, you've got some nerve coming on this blog and saying this crap! If you take the time to read all of his blogs you will see what type of person and thinker he is. He doesn't regurgitate anything! Learn facts before you spit at people. You're right that everyone is entitled to their opinions, and that also means that an individual's opinions doesn't get disrespected the way you're trying to do!



Cmorton, you really need to calm down and stop taking everything at face value. The title of the blog is a question and it is a legitimate one, seeking to understand that which seem unusual. I'm sure many people wondered the very same thing too. Hopefully they got the answers they seek as well. On this blog there were some legit responses and I hope some people learned something from the nonbiased responses.

However for those who took this to the level of racial turmoil it was totally unecessary. Attacking Little Whip, and attacking Elie and Doc too by what I saw, was wrong. You need to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and re-examine that anger you have and that it doesn't take much to set off. Discussions are good and learning something from others you disagree with is good but when it gets to personal attacks, anything you have to say is ignored. And don't let me have to come through the screen and bitch slap you!

Sorry Elie, I had to!

I know, but my curious nature will not allow me to ignore such stupidity. Yes stupidity, because he want to make a point and somehow he learned to use words that look like they are smart words and well written and can easily confuse most people while in the end not making a point at all. Kinda like a poker face. I personally can't stand people who thing they are smart because they use big words or words not common in peoples language in order to confuse people and somehow catch you in what they want you to believe is a misyake you made when you really didn't. Did any of this sound right? I feel like I just explain one of those jokes about that guy whos a cousin of a sister of a friend of the mother of a girl I know.

I was referring to him regurgitating the same tired line that DrGuy always throws at me about not "throwing stuff out there without any facts". Sorry, but I'm getting tired of hearing that when it's not true. If it were, they would show examples like I asked.

So I guess we should expect Bill Cosby, Walter E. Williams, and Colin Powell lying in state at the end of their lives? Each of these men did at least as much as Coretta Scott King to honor their nation and their heritage. Or are they not "the right kind of "American" to qualify for the new standard?
