Dream On
Louis Farrakhan on Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans:
"I believe that we can charge the government with criminal neglect. I firmly believe that if the people on those rooftops (in New Orleans) had blond hair and blue eyes and pale skin, something would have been done in a more timely manner. We charge America with criminal neglect."
From the Roanoke Times:
"William A. White, a Roanoke landlord known for posting racist and anti-Semitic remarks on the Internet, was among the organizers of a neo-Nazi group whose planned march in north Toledo, Ohio, sparked massive rioting Saturday afternoon."
"White said he is the only Roanoke member of the group, which also calls itself America's Nazi Party, and he said he was joined Saturday by NSM members from Michigan, Kentucky and Illinois, in addition to supporters from Toledo."
In recent years, White has emerged as a controversial figure in Roanoke, largely for his real estate purchases, which included at least 15 properties in Roanoke's West End since the spring of 2004. Some critics question why the editor of a white supremacist Web site would want to buy property in a racially mixed neighborhood."
Farrakhan on New Orleans:
"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."
Roanoke Landlord Bill White:
"I wouldn't be out here buying and fixing up houses if I had some agenda against the black community. I don't have anything against black people. The Jews, I despise. They hate me. I hate them. They can kiss my ass."
Louis Farrakhan:
"White people are potential humans - they haven't evolved yet."
From ABC News:
Police began receiving word midweek that gangs were going to descend on a neighborhood where a riot erupted over a planned march by a white supremacist group, but the resulting disturbance was worse than expected, the police chief said Sunday.
The riot broke out Saturday when protesters confronted members of the National Socialist Movement who had gathered at a city park. Rioters threw baseball-sized rocks at police, vandalized vehicles and stores, and set fire to a neighborhood bar, authorities said. More than 100 people were arrested and one officer was seriously injured.
Louis Farrakhan:
“FEMA is too White to represent us and so is the Red Cross.”
Martin Luther King:
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today."

For all his personal foibles, Dr. King had a beautiful vision. Too bad there's no such visionary in today's world. It seems all anyone can do is say, "look how bad the other side is." I fear that all the finger pointing will get us nowhere.
It's a sad state of affairs.
