People are out there fighting to bring about and end to Discrimination, but as long as there are ones who don’t want to see it and are always trying to keep people fighting among them selves, you will never stop it, it will take the Courts, (Haven to Bid) to go after the people who are keeping Discrimination going.
You have to many hate groups and individual’s that want to keep it going so they can get their own way and to profit off some ones else’s pain.
The Courts are like the Democrats, the truth or not they are going to follow who they are for, until they start enforcing the laws that are on the books and stop favoring sides, you will never stop Discrimination against any one, no matter who you are.
It is ashamed that Martin Luther King had to Die for what he believed in, and was being stabbed in the back by traders the whole time by others that said they were behind him and agreed with what he was doing, why don’t the courts go after these people who do not want to see Discrimination end and treat them as terrorist.
But look at this part, they talk about Trayvon dying and he was unarmed, Now look at how many have died and were not armed every day by a person of color and nothing is done about it, but if it involves a white person who does it, all hell breaks loose, now why are they not trying to protect themselves from the ones that are giving them the bad name, I would call that Discriminating against them selves by not standing up against the ones are doing it.
Every year Hundreds dies from a Gun a Knife, by Drugs, Drunk Drivers, and a few other things, but it is the white person who is the blame of it all, or it is the law because it did not protect them, it is nothing but the people who are the cause of all this, by not standing up against it, why, because they are to busy screaming Discrimination to see that these laws are not being enforced and they are letting them off with a warning, or a slap on the hand and say don’t do it again.
They even go out and do a songs to tell people not to squeal on any one who commits a crime, unless it is a white person that does the crime, now that is what you call Discrimination.
You have people praising Mr. King for what he was doing, and at the same time they were trying to stop it, come on people we can all do this if we stop the people who are profiting for them selves by opposing what Martin Luther King stud for.

March to focus on continued fight for civil rights

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alice Long planned months ago to use vacation time to travel from Huntsville, Ala., to the 50th anniversary events for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
Long, a NASA administrative assistant, brought along her grandchildren to give them a close-up view of African-American and civil rights history that she said isn’t being taught in schools.
“I’m here supporting this march because there are so many injustices in this country,” Long, 59, said on the eve of Saturday’s march from the Lincoln Memorial to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. “I’m very concerned about it because I have a 5-year-old grandson and a 13-year-old granddaughter.”
Marchers began arriving early Saturday to gather on the National Mall, many staking out their spots as the sun rose in a clear sky over the Capitol. The NAACP passed out signs reminiscent of the 1963 event expressing reasons for the march five decades later: “We March To Protect Voting Rights,” proclaimed one of the placards.
Organizers have planned for about 100,000 people to participate in the event, which is the precursor to the actual anniversary of the Aug. 28, 1963, march. It will be led by the Rev. Al Sharpton and King’s son Martin Luther King III. After several speeches, participants will walk the half-mile from the Lincoln Memorial to the 2-year-old memorial.
On the day of the anniversary, President Barack Obama will speak from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the same place King stood when he delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech. Obama will be joined by former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Churches and groups have been asked to ring bells at 3 p.m. Wednesday, marking the exact time King spoke.
On Friday, a coalition of black leaders issued what they said is the 21st century agenda for the nation as it marks the watershed civil rights event that helped bring about the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The 1963 march drew some 250,000 to the National Mall and ushered in the idea of massive, nonviolent demonstrations.
The leaders named economic parity, equity in education, voting rights, health care access and criminal justice reform as national policy priorities.
National Urban League President Marc Morial said the agenda was “by no means a complete agenda” but one that can strengthen the unity among the coalition’s members and a way to go forward in a new civil rights movement.
Throughout the buildup to the anniversary march, leaders have been acknowledging and honoring civil rights progress spurred by the 1963 march. But they also have bemoaned what they see as an attack on that progress since King delivered his stirring speech.
They cite the Supreme Court ruling that effectively erased a key anti-discrimination provision of the Voting Rights Act; persistent unemployment among African-Americans, which is about double that of white Americans; and the shooting death of unarmed black teenage Trayvon Martin and the acquittal of George Zimmerman.
Organizers of Saturday’s march hoped this year’s event would serve to inspire people again to educate themselves about issues they see as making up the modern civil rights struggle.
“It’s very difficult to stomach the fact that Trayvon wasn’t committing any crime. He was on his way home from the store,” Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon’s mother, said Friday as she prepared to participate in the march. “Don’t wait until it’s at your front door. Don’t wait until something happens to your child. … This is the time to act now. This is the time to get involved.”
