Laura Ingraham Pops Off At John Lewis And Civil Rights Leaders!

Apparently the conservative agitator hated the March On Washington celebration. She goes off on the civil rights leaders and Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia).

And she knows Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia). Media Matters for America puts another huge one out there for the folks to decide on.

Laura Ingraham (Lo-In) is a fixture as the official stand in for Bill-O.

Lo-In competes in an industry of sharks. She been bounced from network to network affiliate for the last ten years now and it's apparently going to happen again. Sometimes some of the stuff she says is pretty stupid.

Media Matters has always keep the conservative agitators in the spotlight whenever they say something so offensive, the advertisers distance themselves from them.

The Raw Story reports that Ingraham was bitching about the March On Washington commentators.
Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia) is an active participant in the Civil Rights Movement. He was criticized by that conservative agitator. That agitator personally knows Lewis.
Following the lead of conservative media outlets like Breitbart and The Blaze, Ingraham lashed out Martin Luther King III for saying on Saturday that “the color of one’s skin remains a license to profile, to arrest and to even murder.”

“But it all comes down to just George Zimmerman?” she asked. “The goal was, as our caller said, to divide. To co-opt the legacy of Martin Luther King into a modern day liberal agenda, a left-wing agenda, progressive agenda. Whatever you want to call it. From gay marriage to immigration amnesty was thrown in for good measure. We talked about the Voting Rights Act.”

To make her point about immigration, Ingraham played a portion of Lewis’ speech.

“We must say to the Congress, pass comprehensive immigration reform,” Lewis said. “It doesn’t make sense that millions of our people…”

But the congressman’s remarks were interrupted by a loud echoing gunshot followed by a few moments of silence. Ingraham offered no explanation for the sound effect.

In a 1965 march for voting rights that would come to be known as “Bloody Sunday,” Lewis had his skull fractured by Alabama State Troopers while walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Even after his friend Martin Luther King Jr. was killed by a gunman in 1968, Lewis continued his commitment to the civil rights movement. He went on to settle in Georgia and run for Congress.

"Bleach Bomb" Injures Man!

Black man claims that he was assaulted by "bleach bomb". Was it a racist attack?

There's far too many "incidents" of people claiming that they were attacked by an unknown assailant who happened to throw a household cleaning item in their faces. I've heard this story over and over again.

I do have sympathy for those who were injured by type of attacks. I mean who wants to be killed by a hazardous chemical attack? 

I've heard it all before. In the age of digital media, somewhere on the campus of The University of Texas, there was a camera and a witness somewhere. Somebody knows what's going on!

And if there's not enough evidence to prove an intruder injured the victim, clearly I will call this a racial hoax!

I don't believe it until there's a video proof that an attack occurred.

That's kind of harsh but I am tired of these stories popping up in the news and these incidents turn out to be fake.

I remind myself of the woman from Washington state who ended up doing herself bodily harm and tried to pin it on a Black woman. Bethany Storro put drain cleaner on her face and let that stuff permanently injure her face. Now whenever this stuff comes to mind, I will always come to my mind, the victim was the attacker.

I keep thinking of Ashley Todd, the former John McCain volunteer worker who curved a backwards "B" in her face. Todd claimed that a big Black guy attacked her and assaulted her for the fact she's not a supporter of Barack Obama. I think of these incidents as a play to rile up political opposition.

These type of incidents would have sparked vigilante attacks against Black or Hispanic men. These incidents will agitate conservative talk radio and the White extremist movement.

So again, I don't believe it until there's proof. That's video and witnesses other than the victim.

An investigation is underway over a so-called "bleach bomb" attack reportedly perpetrated against an African-American student at the University of Texas at Austin. The incident echoes similar occurrences that shook the school's minority community last year and sparked campus protests.

The student who was apparently targeted, UT junior Bryan Davis, told Austin-based FOX 7 that he was walking to a friend's house past an apartment complex popular with students when he was hit with what he says was a chemical-filled balloon.

"I kind of just hear something exploding near me and I feel a light sting on my leg," Davis told FOX 7.

The 21-year-old also said he believes he was targeted because of his skin color.

Bleach, a chemical used to whiten clothes, makes a potentially derogatory statement when thrown at a minority student.

"People might look at it as a prank, but to be a minority at such a large school, even pranks like this, it doesn't come off the way you think it might when you're doing it," he told FOX 7, adding that the incident was "humiliating and embarrassing."

While Davis was not injured, Austin Police Corporal David Boyd explained to local station KEYE-TV why such attacks are dangerous.

"Bleach gets in your eyes [and] it could potentially blind you," said Boyd.

Last fall, multiple reports of bleach-filled balloons being thrown at UT minority students made national headlines and prompted a contentious march through the same West Campus neighborhood where Davis reported the alleged attack on Thursday. Some students claimed last year the bleach bombs were not racially motivated, while others contended that racial epithets had accompanied the balloons on at least one occasion.

Davis says he views his peers and his community differently after last week.

"I feel like a fool having had so much pride in front of others about the school I go to," Davis told local blog the Burnt Orange Report. "Now I can't help but to feel embarrassed for both myself and the school for the reputation it's starting to get as being hostile towards blacks, Asians and other minorities."

By the way, you wonder where I get my information from.

As you know I read online stories from the news agitators. The Huffington Post and That Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall are two primary websites I often check when I want to rant off about society's ills.

Helping these individuals get richer while the general public is dumb down. You may of heard of the controversy sparked by that teenage entertainer twerking her butt in front of an older entertainer.

Well I don't care about that stuff. They're not me and I am certainly not them. I got more things to worry about than two adults showing off their raunchy dancing. You don't like it, turn off the freaking television.

For Pete's sake, it's an entertainment channel. Get over it.

Conservatives Are A Huge Headache!

A harsh criticism of conservatives in general.

I doubt I'll win some friends here today! But I have to be quite honest about the situation in America, it's in dire straights. I am certainly not shy to share my disgust towards this political class.

I think of it as a dying breed. A truly dying breed of ignoramuses and idiots.

Instead of calling these people conservatives, I'll refer to them as people who fuel the racist right.

The racist right are individuals with the sole purpose to agitate a group of extremists with rhetoric that paints Blacks as an enemy.

I will spare you the nonsense and cut to the chase.

Conservatives are stupid. Period.
You make this guy rich. He makes millions off the backs of the gullible listeners of his radio program.
How can these people criticize me when they can't finish a complete sentence?

Conservatives are seriously disturbed. They have nothing better to do. So they'll read something from an anti-Obama website, or conservative forum!

So when I think of the recent controversies and the way they express their opinion of President Barack Obama, I shake my head in disgust.

So here's what I believe. When conservatives play race card, it's only played when they're on the losing side of a debate.

The Republican Party and their conservative allies are atoned to the card.

They love to place it in Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama's back pocket to say "oh it's those niggers who play the race card, not us!"

I will not rest until conservatives are defeated in the election.

It takes one white person (particularly white males) and their gutless outrage over things that they apparently disagree with. See if white people (again mostly white males) weren't so uptight about Blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, illegal immigrants, independent women, same sex couples and President Barack Obama, then you would not receive hate from these groups.

See President Obama lets this shit roll off his skin. Me, you and thousands of arm chair generals fail at that one.

You'll be pissed after reading this one.

The Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement boycott with their mouths and firearms.

They try to rewrite history off the backs of the Black community. The Republicans and its allies in the conservative movement aren't focused on serious issues like the economy.

Talks about an issue over and over.
That's why these dumbasses continues to "change the subject" because the economy is getting better and they need something else to bitch about.

Conservatives are too busy wrapping their asses around the American flag in preparedness of another ridiculous culture war.

And it's probably why conservatives are give me such a headache with this labeling of anyone who doesn't support their views as a "traitor" or "liberal".

I don't have to agree with liberals or conservatives to be an independent.

You people don't know my political views, and quite clearly I am not going to explain them!

Truth is, the Democratic Party has been the most responsible in handling issues with the economy, minorities, the middle class, the working class, the lower class, LGBT, those who practice in Islam.

These are the people who contribute to helping President Barack Obama (for the record) secure a second term. Barack Obama is a testament of the Democratic Party's evaluation into the future.

Constantly bitching about issues.
Of course, Barack Obama being the "first Black president" requires a little bit of venting and ranting from those in the racist right.

Most in the Black community expected the white hot racism and dog whistle politics to flourish within the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement. It's was just a matter of time and another election year for this to play forth on YouTube and many other social networks.

No matter what what's been told, conservatives will never get it through their sponge soaked heads that the Democratic Party is the party of progress.
Say things that may divide families and destroy households. Let alone inspire violent events to occur.
Hence the term Progressive. It's not about liberalism, socialism, communism or moderation! It's about common sense, and the Republican Party and the conservative movement are seriously lacking it somewhere!

There's plenty of these ignorant ass White people online. They play upon the fears of Black leaders, athletes, entertainers and culture in their attempt to broad brush us as the reasons for economic turmoil in the United States.

Republicans and conservatives rewriting of history will never succeed. It proves that its a purely agenda driven attempt to whitewash the very history, conservatives never had participated or lived through.

Conservatives are totally misinformed by the narratives they've siphon off the far right blogs that you've grown accustomed to!

I am tired of wasting my time dealing with assholes on the internet.
Use racial fear to stroke extremists into vigilante justice.
I don't care what you call me, I know where I stand.

I guess since all the shit you're throwing at me makes me a liberal, commie, socialist, anti-American. I guess I can claim that you're a racist, totalitarian, Fascist, overreaching, bigot with limited education above high school level.

It's a shame that conservatives bent over backwards in this cesspool of ignorance masquerading this narrative that progressives (liberals) are the reasons for the extremism that the far right created.

If you look at the presidential candidates from the last election, they represent the mindset of people who are racist.
Attack a person's character just because they don't agree with you!
Seriously I don't consider the Republican Party totally racist. It's a shame that a majority of the racists support the Republican Party and they are intone to the mindset.

Conservatives are single minded voters who throw out everything to deny the facts that are proven by historians, living citizens who've been there and those who continue to fight in honor of those who suffered.

It's a good thing that some who engage in word vomiting are hiding behind the computer. You wouldn't dare say any of this shit to any person's face! I hope that someone knocks your ass out! What we really need to do! We have to separate white humans from those filthy smelly ass whites (such as yourself) who troll the internet with hate of their own race let alone the non-whites.

Conservatives are fucking the game up with this baseless ignorance. Whenever I read or listen to a conservative rant about "Black on White", "Latino on White", Muslim on White", "Obama is a Muslim Nigger Commie Socialist" theme, I just want to vomit.

Promoting books and events for profit.
This proves to be another example of the fucked up culture war the Republican Party (and its allies conservative movement) continue to bring upon those who tend to be rational.

But after telling you more than once, it's not true, you fucktards turn around and make more narratives that totally distract the real reason why this country is so fucked up! Sometimes, I almost wish there was a disease that only affects people like you and it's non-curable, let alone treatable.

Like every typical conservative, these clowns come onto to other people's pages put all the retarded conspiracies and ridiculous rants about the government on forums and social networks like this.

When people dismiss you clowns, you continue to rant and rant on about how we are "the ones who are blinded by all the media!" No, sir. You need to wake up! No one gives a fuck about your opinion. So why are you acting like a bitch?

Nevermind, I don't care!

Conservatives, you don't even know what I do for a living. But since I write on a blog and share my opinion, I'm on the "gubmint" assistance or taking from "da man!"

 It's always these ridiculous conclusions and reactionary responses. It's their way to piss people off.

When people are saying you're misinformed about issues. I tell them that calling me misinformed is like calling you a genius, none of it is true!

And as for these ridiculous entitlement complaints. It's purely stereotyping.

Say a lot of ignorant shit on radio or TV.
Please spare me the retarded mind garbage typed up. Most whites are lazy anyways. Whites spent most of their time collecting welfare, disability, social security and privileges based solely on economic and political standings as well. Most Whites are obsessed with firearms and kill in the name of a religion.

When you see Blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, or even Muslims with firearms, you people scream at the top of your lungs about how it's our faults for most of America's crime and you want control over us, but never control over you!

Conservatives: Rap music is entertainment, not a violent crime.

Don't blame Hollywood, Broadway or the video games. Blame the parents. Don't compare apples to walnuts. If a violent event happens and they happen to be inspired by some asshole on conservative talk radio, then you guys hate it when there's a finger your face.

Most Whites often imitate cultures of others in order to claim it as their own! Most white people usually get opportunities to take vacations, while minorities work even harder to at least achieve the American dream.

Conservatives have a high occupancy of hypocrisy when it comes to society. You may see a conservative molests children and spread "Christianity" in the guise of marketing capitalism. Spread ignorance and fear of economic societies that use communism, and socialism in their governments.

Conservatives you better understand history. Whites for decades were raping and pillaging land from the lower nations and destroying the very ecostructure of the world in favor for your piece of the pie! It's no wonder these Asian, Middle East and African nations are practicing in laws based on religion.

You let one of your kind go overseas and rape a child or a woman! It's matter of your worthless life or their justifiable death.

Since conservative are focused on crime statistics and economic standings, let me clear the record.
Paint people or places in a view that puts "us against them".
There are more White people on food stamps and claim disability for being overweight. That drug epidemic is in the suburbs! Drug use is higher among young and older white Americans with at least a high school education! When White people are unemployed, depressed and mentally disturbed (that includes volatile conversation), their either get the firearms to hurt those who don't agree with you or put the barrel into your face! I don't know your life story and I practically don't care! I can tell you that I'm very much employed and I am well surviving in these hard times.

I am assuming that you're one of these callers who phone in talk radio agitators every once in awhile just to either support their crap or piss them off with claims about President Obama, the Democratic or the Republican leadership. A bunch of retarded arm chair generals with a sole mission to complain, jump up and down, get on forums, comments sections and blame the media.

The U.S. Congress job approval is hovering at 8%, Republicans are causing gridlock and you sit on your computer typing up bullshit about "Obama and the Democrats doin' nuffins!" President Obama and the Democratic Party done far more things for the American people. Where were the Republicans on important issues like the economy for the last umpteen years they've had control of the Congress, White House and state/territorial governorships.
Say things you dare never say to the person you're attacking!
This Midterm election is very important. I would love to see the Democrats regain full control of Congress. Maybe things can actually get done. I rather not see any Republican win.

If a Republican wins, we'll see more war, destruction of the middle class, racial codes, and objectives to tear up progress.

Why should I keep this going?

I have the right to ignore or deny a person an opportunity to respond to me. That's the power of blogs. You can control what you want to read. I don't have to debate a brainless asshole on the internet.

Conservatives look upon the world in "Black and White". In the mind of a conservative, change is bad!

Hispanics are the fastest growing population. Over 50 million more are Hispanics. 34 million more Blacks and 15 million more Asians. This is a population boom. And that's going to be a lot more overwhelming after 2020.
Rant and rave for ratings.
It's amazing that demographics change within a day. It's unfortunate that non-Hispanic White people are on the decline! A rapid change in demographics through the growth of interracial births are the prevalent in the United States. In less than 30 years, this country will be getting a whole lot Browner.

Conservatism is an example of the extremism in America.

You claim that people like me are looking for handouts! No one is looking for handouts here!

Conservatives are just looking for someone to bitch at! I consider that a handout in my opinion.

Conservatives so driven mad with their hate of President Barack Obama. They're driving themselves to heart attacks, ulcers and serious brain damage!

Conservatives (likely White conservative men) can't stand a Black man in power.

In order to feel better about their hate, they'll listen to assholes like in the Tea Party Movement, those annoying ass conservative agitators. They make millions off the gullible audience. You fools are making a bunch of nobodies rich.
Ignorance elects Republicans like Michele Bachmann, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Rand Paul. And ignorance keeps these politicos elected for years. Doing what they do best, scream and whine. Do what's best for the cameras and not for the constituents who put their asses in the position.
[Now] if you were such a "billy bad ass" you claim to be, how about showing it in the public eye!

Instead of hiding behind the comfort of your computer, why don't you spend your time making at least one effort to change the world. And when you do that, we'll see who acts out when you get a racial slur, disability slur or homophobic slur thrown at you in response to your hard work!

You fools can make multiple accounts to troll the internet, act out on the social networks or racist shitholes of your choosing, but your ass isn't gonna do shit!

For every offensive comment and derogatory comment towards President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, the Black community and the Latino community, you've created a new group of Democratic voters.

Every response helps Barack Obama win. And maybe it may make Hillary Clinton, the next President of The United States.

Torture, right?

Please don't apologize to me or anyone else for being an asshole!

We understand, it's alright!

CONSERVATIVES: GET YOUR LAZY ASSES OFF THE MISINFORMATION PLANTATION!

By the way, for the internet trolls. You choose to respond back with your stupid ass rhetoric, don't worry too much about me! I don't read word vomit from people like you! You're not on my level of intelligence.

I'll just scrub it and move on!

Screw you, your family, your life and whatever else I forgot to mention!

Colin Powell: I'm Worried That My Fellow [Republicans] Are Too Extreme!

Former Bush secretary of state Colin Powell disgusted with Republicans continued obstruction.

Former Bush adviser is really considering his options. He may drop the Republican label and become an independent. Colin Powell, the former Secretary of State under George W. Bush went to CBS to talk about Civil Rights in America. He had an opportunity to talk about the Republican infighting, the George Zimmerman verdict and the 50th Anniversary of The March On Washington.

In 2008 and 2012, the former secretary of state endorsed Barack Obama for president pissing off the racist right. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) and his allies think that Powell's endorsement of Obama is an example of "Blacks voting solely on race and not issues"! Perennial loser Mitt Romney's camp thought that Powell was already a "Republican In Name Only."

King Hippo slammed the endorsement as an example of "us Black folk" willing to support Obama no matter what he does because "he's protected by his race" and "we Black folk" already assume that the Republicans and their conservative allies are racist anyway.

That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall and others of the racist right outlined an alleged affair that Powell had with a Romanian politician. The cyber hacker pushed the alleged affair to the conservative agitators.

Former Vice President Dick Chaney calls Powell a turncoat and refuse to acknowledge him as a friend.

They're currently feuding with one another.

Powell appears on Face The Nation along with civil rights leader and politico Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia).

Powell has been critical of the divisive voting laws that Republican governors signed on. They've signed on voter identification laws that requires residents to provide state identification to vote. It's a means to undermine "voter fraud".

Again voter fraud makes up less than 5% of the issues facing America right now. What many critics call it is another ploy to undermine the Democratic Party's core supporters Black, Hispanic and young voters.

See you can have a firearm permit as proof of identification. But a college identification isn't valid. If you don't drive and you have no means of obtaining an identification (but your registered to vote), you can't vote.

The United States Justice Department is suing the state of Texas right now for this type of nonsense.

North Carolina is one of the many states that passed intrusive voter's identification laws. It's being challenged by civil right groups. Powell openly criticized the Republican state governor Pat McCrory over this.

Colin Powell warned that Republicans are chasing for a needle in a haystack. He said that the Trayvon Martin situation and these intrusive laws like voter identification are going to be the rally call for Black Americans.

Also as a father, Powell elaborates on the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman situation.

“I think that it will be seen as a questionable judgment on the part of the judicial system down there, but I don’t know if it will have staying power,” Powell said. “These cases come along, and they blaze across the midnight sky and then after a period of time, they’re forgotten.”

Powell also said that President Barack Obama was right to speak about the case, and the experience of African Americans in general, and encouraged more leaders to do so.

“I’d like to see [Obama] be more passionate about race questions, and I think that was an accurate characterization of some of the things that we were exposed to,” Powell said.

Bob Schieffer asks Powell about Syria, Egypt, the president's reaction to the Zimmerman verdict, Chris Lane murder, the Republican infighting, the voter's ID laws and the March On Washington.

Conservative Outrage Over Obama Flag!

View image on Yahoo! News website
The March On Washington wants participants to Revisit The Dream. The Racist Right considers it another worshiping cult for President Barack Obama.

The racist right once again proves that even a freedom of expression is too much for them to tolerate.

You have to be a clear cut racist bigot to get all flamed up over a demonstrator waving a mock American flag with the image of President Barack Obama.

At the 50th Anniversary of the March On Washington, many Americans had an opportunity to listen to speakers promote the visionary of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This is suppose to be about progressive change. A rally call to get things done. Promotion of equal rights for all Americans. Not one group! Everyone!

The conservative agitators didn't go. They're on the sidelines bitching about how these people disgrace Old Glory with the image of the president.

The Turd Flipper and her friends are worked up over the flying of the Obama flag.

They consider it "hero worship" and "cult brainwashing".

Yes, let your freedom of speech parade down the social networking shitholes you visit.

Hell we'll throwing you a tissue for all that bitching and crying over it!

Here's some of the racist responses to the flag!






This is your America, people. The racist right once again rise out of the ugly cesspool. The freedom of speech and expression is only good when they're protesting the president. Of course with pictures of the president looking like Hitler or with a bone in his nose is not offensive! But his image on a mock flag is!

Totally backwards!

Southern Discomfort.... Black Family Denied Food Service!

South Carolina family was denied food service at Wild Wings Cafe.

In North Charleston, South Carolina, a Black family who wanted to eat at an establishment in the area was denied service after a customer complained. They claimed that the family waited hours before they were told that they weren't getting served.

One of the family members took to the social network and the situation blew up and the restaurant is getting some negative press coverage.

Michael Brown and 24 of his family members go to the Wild Wing Cafe. They were celebrating a family member leaving for better opportunities. This experience wasn't memorable to say at least.

The family waited for two hours for a table only to be told by a manager that there was “a situation.”

Apparently a White customer felt that the family was "threatening" and they didn't want them at the establishment.

“She said there’s a situation where one of our customers feels threatened by your party, so she asked us not to seat you in our section, which totally alarmed all of us because we’re sitting there peaceably for two hours,” Brown told to WNEW Channel 5.

A member of the party began to film the discussion between Brown and the restaurant manager with a camera phone.

“I asked her I want to be clear with you,” Brown recounted. “I said so you’re telling me I have to leave. She said I have a right to deny you service. I said so you’re asking me to leave because you’re upset because he was recording you, after we've waited for two hours, and after you've already pretty much discriminated on us, and she answered yes.”

So Michael Brown decides to make it clear that he's not satisfied with the service. He takes his concerns to Facebook.

I will never go to Wild wings cafe in N. Chs again! We (Party of 25 family and friends) waited 2hrs, patiently and were refused service because another customer (White) felt threatened by us. This type of racial discrimination is unacceptable and we have to put a STOP TO IT. The manager looked me dead in the face and said she was refusing us service because she had a right to and simply she felt like it. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ESTABLISHMENT… PLEASE SHARE THIS POST… We need your help.


Wild Wing Cafe is a restaurant chain in the south and southeastern United States with over 30 locations in seven U.S. states. It is headquartered in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, a suburb of Charleston. One of their higher ups got the word and responded to the controversy.

“We got alerted through social media, so we always encourage our customers to respond to us or to comment on our social media pages,” Debra Stokes, chief marketing officer for Wild Wing Cafe, told Channel 5.

“We had a conversation,” says Stokes. “It was a really good conversation. He and many of his family and friends were there about a month ago, and they are regular customers of ours. So, they were having a going away party, and they just didn't receive the experience that they have come to know and love.”

“We had a conversation,” said the restaurant’s chief marketing officer. “It was a really good conversation. He and many of his family and friends were there about a month ago, and they are regular customers of ours. So, they were having a going away party, and they just didn’t receive the experience that they have come to know and love.”

Brown was offered a free meal, which he was not satisfied with. “We weren’t there for a free meal,” he said.

"We were there as patrons of their restaurant!", he added. "Do they think that just giving [free food] makes the situation any better?"

Okay, so what do you think about this controversy?

March On Washington Celebrates 50 Years!

Can we achieve the dream?

August 28, 1963 was the movement of progressive change. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. managed to pull hundreds of thousands of individuals from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument to deliver a speech to demand equal rights.

The celebration of 50 years will commerce on Washington today with the Rev. Perm (Al Sharpton) and Martin Luther King III. They're promoting the March On Washington in regards to issues that made the news.

The leaders say their agenda revolves around five areas: Economic parity, equity in education, voting rights, health care access and criminal justice.

Of course, priority one is the Supreme Court's striking down a portion of the Voter's Right Act. That's one of the main issues that has the Civil Right leaders upset. Then comes the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial. Yeah, a lot of Black people are upset that a reckless man walked free when he shot an unarmed teenager. We also have the controversial NYPD stop and frisk tactics. The federal court rejected the policy and the New York mayor Michael Bloomberg tells the media, full steam ahead. And of course, the Chris Lane murder. The racist right have made noise about the Oklahoma tragedy. A man from Australia was killed by two Black teens and the racist right has claimed that the Civil Rights leaders don't care about crimes against White people. This will be a topic at the event.

In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr., standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, delivered his historic "I Have a Dream" speech advocating racial harmony during the march.

button2
The march was organized by a group of civil rights, labor, and religious organizations, under the theme "jobs, and freedom".

Estimates of the number of participants varied from 200,000 to 300,000.

It's not determined on how many will show up for this event. But if people are hoping for progressive change, it's going to be a large crowd. Hopefully a large crowd can bring forth a voice of reason and voice of change.

The president's agenda has been squandered by the racist right. The Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement have maintained this notion that if the president fails, the country wins or perhaps they win.

They've lost. They're losing badly in the shifting demographics. They can't rally the old bigots anymore.

They're dying off. And now what's left is trying to convince their offspring that it's possible to save what's left of the "good ol' days".

The mission statement:

August 28, 2013 citizens from across this country will converge upon our nation’s capital to commemorate and celebrate the historic March On Washington which occurred 50 years ago on August 28, 1963.This site provides information and updates on the numerous commemorative marches that are being planned throughout this country.  In addition, this site provides citizens an opportunity to leave their remembrances and pictures of the march that changed the world.
