#MLKJr #MorningJoe #MartinLutherKingJrDay
As an elder millennial, one of the few advantages is having lived through the Great Recession. My advice. Reduce unnecessary expenses, increase your savings by investing in financial markets and do not sell. One thing I know for sure is that diversifying your income can help insulate you from much of the craziness going on in the world.
The stock market is a way to hedge against inflation. Most notably amidst recession, investors need to understand where and how to allocate funds to hedge against inflation and still make profits.
@@bondyjoseph5171 In my opinion, the impact of the rise or fall of the U.S. dollar on investments is multi-faceted but learning how to grow your money has never been easier than now that you can explore and experience a truly diverse marketplace passively by using a well-performing portfolio-advisor.
@@cynthiajeanmoe8326 well the stock market is down 20% since last year. Keeping my money in bank could be no good but investing is riskier I wish to find better value deals as asset prices keep decreasing but lack the skillset mind if I look up your advisor? I admit this is the only way for amateurs like myself
Everyone loves to quote MLK but they never mention the fact that he was going to march for reparations for reparations for African Americans..
MLK battled to get his people to vote. He walked through angry, jeering crowds who hated him-fought him every step of the way. It was bravery. And no joke, he died for it. Let him be remembered today for the Selma Marchs. Truly a hero.
Using wiretaps, paid informants and blackmail, Hoover and the FBI did everything possible to destroy the man.
and by the phrase "...angry, jeering crowds who hated him..." you mean White People. GOT IT!
He didn't die for it; HE WAS KILLED BECAUSE OF IT!
Funny how we seem to respect and quote him, and yet all some people do is point out race. You’re either with what he stood for or not. Also, despite the horrors of slavery, blacks were so brave and never let it crush their spirit hence many were believers in God and wrote amazing works of literature and music. They never knew the day would come where they’d be free, but it did! That is something I am and we all should be grateful for!
How else could the Reverend Al, this Man of God, with hatred seeping out of every one of his pores, make money?

I believe the description you've given us applies to Trump's grandma. 😜

MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. DAY 2023 ##
The wise listen to increase their learning
Where the scorners of wisdom close their mind.
The hearts of the prudent gather knowledge
For a soul without grace becomes confined.
Our knowledge can help us fulfill our dreams
Though most of the time with wisdom comes grief.
For knowledge removes our veil of ignorance
Exposing within the liar or thief.
A wise mind is a fountain of life;
To teach others it's knowledge before death.
Wisdom is too hard for fools to retain
Who curse their fellows with spiteful breath.
Fill yourself with love and understanding,
For wisdom makes the human face shine.
Knowledge is stronger than weapons of war
While on ignorance, fools continue to dine.
The words of the wise are heard in quiet
More than the loud shouts of screaming fools.
Wisdom and knowledge cause stability
In the lives of those who use them as tools.
We should shun with wisdom that which is evil
And glorify with knowledge that which is good.
Better is the gift of learning than gold
For by virtue we become what we should.

Rev Martin Luther King was a great man, and this day we all honour him, and his ongoing fight for equality not yet attained. Voting rights need to to equal for all.
I have a book that Martin Luther King wrote called, "Why we can't Wait," and am sad to see that it is still appropriate today. Many of the same problems still exist today.
We had an individual who was half black for president. We have numerous CEOs who are black. Look at the members of the local and national media who are black. We have realized MLK’s dream.
and do you think pastor king would have not called out all the black on black crime- kids acting stupid- getting bad grades- etc etc. look into the mirror as a race and question yourself before others have a great day
Uv been brainwashed by RADICAL LEFTIST NY CORP NEWS.
@@davidgoldman9820 What do you think about all of the white on white crime?!? All of those white boys shooting up schools, churches & malls. I think that is just as disappointing.
These problems still exist because of people like the two trolls above me whose posts still show and the two replies I can't see because they were so naughty they got erased.
Dr King is World Leader.🌎
Today's Democrat party cares about "The color of your skin" and not the content of your character failing at what Rev King said
I'm glad they are focused on MLK. Excellent!
It's our job to tell people how to think. - Mika Brzezinski, MSNBC 😒
“poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids" - Joe Biden
She's FIRED.
If King was alive today, his first words after watching the unveiling of that hideous statue in Boston, would be "WTF?"
I concur.
Intellectually honest people, especially women, would think his STREET NAMES and MONUMENTS would b taken down.
@@whicker59 Like the traitor Robert E Lee?
Boondocks said it best.
@@terrencekane8203 he wasn't actually a traitor, many people who don't understand history fail to notice that Lincoln violated the 10th amendment now it was for a good reason but was still a violation of the constitution
As a Democrat, I'm really starting to question my choice of being a member of the party that founded the KKK.
The Party of slavery, KKK and Jim Crow, and segregationists like Joe Biden.
Lol.
It's also the anti-war party of jfk, key is hold on to your own values and vote for people who support them
@Matt1147 Dogmatism at this point is nailing your colours to the Democratic Party mast, given that your country began its descent into the abyss from January 2021.
democrats have always been racist... nothing has changed.
Important to know,our current president picked his Vice President based on the color of her skin setting us all back 60 years of trying to treat people on their merits and not skin color.Pushing Smolletts on America will not help.
“poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids" - Joe Biden
If tomorrows not guaranteed, why go to war
This is the speech I recall most. I was just a kid - I didn't see all of it then but I saw the part about how he might not reach the promised land, and then the next day I came home to learn he was dead. That memory has never left me.
why did they not invite (interview) all the female persons, or their family's, that MLK had affairs with over years.? so many, those around him "lost" count. rampant.
even his closest advisors (dr. abernathy) and others stated it was repetitive , flagrant and constant.
but that is OK, "rationalized" for the man of "god" and reverend. now "you" or i can not commit adultery but per his advisor it (adulterous affairs) helped with the "stress" of the civil rights protests.
so much for "that" commandment of the 10; when it came to the "good" reverend.
though, our nation is chosen has chosen to claim and teach as if he walked "on" water. ok, sure.
preached and said how wrong our nation was; with his zipper down most of the time as his wife stayed home.
here is the "stupid" our nation has bought for 60+yrs.
What do you think MLK's opinion would have been over Biden's classified documents? 💙💙💙
I think mlk would have a problem with government holding secrets from we the people
@@steelguitarunionhall I think he would have been surprised you dared to call it an insurrection
@@steelguitarunionhall you maybe shocked to learn what an insurrection is 😂
My kids are out of school today. You would think that schools are my children to learn about Martin Luther King on his birthday rather than sitting at home. But ya lol
I think you need to be in school more than your kids do.
@@Matt-1147 Did you read the sentence? That clown shouldn't be teaching anything to anybody.
I agree it would be ideal for the kids to be in school and learning a little about MLK. But right now, if that happened, there would be ignorant parents across the country raging at school boards about them teaching critical race theory.
If your Democrat what are you going to teach your children. How MLK doesn't believe in your views of socialism, Communism and Marxism
@@urkiddingme6254 No, MLK didn't tell white kids to be ashamed of their history and drive our races further apart. CRT does that.
Impeach Brandon🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If you're going to have the "fake" Rev Sharpton on the panel, you just lost credibility.
agree. just a rich race baiting piece of ----
Indeed
Martin Luther King was born leader in US people. He was try to fight for equality for all of US people who need support each other. Equality is good for everyone but need to work hard to get dream come true. RIP MLM 🥺
This is not to disrespect Malcom X, whose great words moved so many, but he was never in Alabama getting rocks thrown at his as as Dr. King was.
Mouth FJB
Nothing says Martin Luther King Jr Day like kids staying home from school, binging video games and social media all day and not having a clue who Martin Luther King Jr is.
Then, tell them about him!
@@Matt-1147 The parents are as addicted to their phones and social media just as much as the kids, as well as Xanax. Sorry, but there’s no getting through to this bunch.
At least the thing that kids like best is what they come to associate with Martin Luther King, Jr.: a day off from school. School should be the thing kids care about most. But schools in this country are not valued by parents except as babysitters. Parents in too many states and communities don't want schools to be the best education for all, and don't want them to teach anything that might help the children understand the world apart from their parents' preferred beliefs and myths. American kids hate school for many reasons, not l least for withholding from them skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their world now and for providing the best opportunities to only some of their peers, mostly to save money, but also through social bias, which cannot be hidden from children. They feel it and see it and hate it, yet then pass it on in their turn to the next generation themselves.
Maybe we should take Elvis's birthday off. Would that make you happy?
Many do know... if they don't, shame on their parents.
I truly admired and cherished Martin Luther King.
Sharpton not so much.
Understandable
Well, that was an insightful comment, Joe, about King using Jefferson's words as both a sword and shield. For myself, this morning I'm enjoying the image of Dr. King sittiing down with Lincoln, and the two of them having a good ol' long chat.
I don't think Lincoln woulda been seen associating with a womanizer.....he coulda lost the '64 election.
“I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility, I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.” John Wayne.
Said the biggest racist in Hollywood history.
Martin Luther King was full of it with his assertion that one day whites will change and at that point look out for us. Malcolm X was right - whites are never going to change and if a change takes place it is us who must make it by doing for our self.
Sadly the mattress companies seem to have made this holiday synonymous with mattress sales. Wonder who was that genius that came up with this idea.
Christmas used to be a celebration of the prince of peace Jesus but now it's about getting stuff
@@danialhillmann5374 Christmas used to be a celebration of the winter solstice until the fairy tale of jesus hijacked all the pagan holidays.
@@jimbob3030 yeah because the Bibles only a few years old like Judaism 😂
Happy holidays, y’all!
Those ended NEW YEAR'S DAY.
@@whicker59 Happy Holiday!!
Al only goes where the money is.
Because Moses and jossiah kicked in. " My ppl will be destroyed by not knowing anything. "
It’s more important than ever to push back on the extremism we are seeing now. History repeats itself if we don’t stand up for injustice
valid comment. now "define" extremism. i worked for a county in NY for 25ys until 2010. by far, i mean by "far" the most racist, blatant employees were: african american.
"everything" is racist. give more "free" promotions to blacks. lazy, as can be. complain that someone "looked" at them wrong hence they were black.
if i have to explain that concept of their's at city/county jobs-then you are already lost.

thought here:
why did they not invite (interview) all the female persons, or their family's, that MLK had (sexual) adulterous affairs with over years.? so many, those around him "lost" count. rampant.
even his closest advisors (dr. abernathy) and others stated it was repetitive , flagrant and constant.

though, our nation is chosen has chosen to claim and teach as if he walked "on" water. ok, sure.
preached and said how wrong our nation was; with his zipper down most of the time as his wife stayed home. no, our nation does not talk or speak of "that" fact or reality. zip, zero.
here is the "stupid" our nation has bought for 60+yrs.
Happy birthday dr. Martin Luther King jr.
I did a straight up look around when he said “tavis”. My name is tavis. 😅😂
You got that right.
"Remind us why we do what we do"
There were a whole lot of regular everyday white Americans who were not fans of Dr King. Racism was not only deep with some, but also shallow yet widespread with many. It’s a shame when such a consequential person dies young. I doubt much progress would have been achieved without Dr King.
If MLK we're alive he would be absolutely embarrassed and ashamed of this country.
What do you think MLK Jr’s opinion of the current Democrat Party’s obsession of valuing color over character would be?
@@steelguitarunionhall that was not the question so really stupid comment
@@steelguitarunionhall u must not b old enough to remember the RADICAL LEFTIST BLACK PANTHERS CLINCHED FIST SIGN!!!
@@steelguitarunionhall nope but regressive woke dems do...............
@@steelguitarunionhall Wallace was a dem.... you are just a replay of racism from the past you say you hate racism but you now support it mirror mirror on the wall who is racist now- well you are guitar
@@steelguitarunionhall ole George didn't go around holding up a clinched fascist fist NOR a ☮️ sign with his fingers. Don't think u want a history lesson now, cause it'll spoil ur day.
Finish the job...America!
Dr King was an amazing, caring man. He will never be forgotten. Unfortunately it is still a battle for equality and acceptance for all not just white, evangelicals in this country. There will always be a true leader in this country Dr Martin Luther King is one of those leaders.
This holiday is meant as an honor to Dr King; imo.
@@bigsexxy1 he sure wasn't perfect and I'm sure most people don't know who helped to make him disappear
he had faults like we all do- this equity woke stuff he would have been against. racial preference to get into college and not based on your grades. he would not support
No time to take off ? Tell that to those on government assistance programs knowing how to play the system.
MLK was a proud Republican.
Im here
There should not be one Democrat celebrating MLK Day, you have no respect for the guy and don't act like you do.

It seems like we'll always be 1/2 way there. Keep your eyes on the prize.
………😔sad to say that in this country , Martin Luther King Jr. said in his 1967 speech , “ I want to remind you that there are two america’s “ . Change ? Socialism for rich , democracy for the poor . The fire of “the Dream “ has died but we are keeping the embers as bright as we can . Do Not Forget the MURDER MEDGAR EVERS , JUNE 1963 ! !
Can we really go back to the good days??I hope so.
Not with republicans ruling the house.
When were "the good days"? And who were they good for?
If remember that night, I was a hockey fan and Montreal and the Boston Bruins were involved in playoff hockey..the game went into double OT with Beliveau scoring the winning goal 2-1 and the news bulletin came across the TV screen announcing that MLK was shot.....I was in shock....first one Kennedy, then the other and now MLK....it seemed that the USA was being taken over by the Hawks....that the government was going to go to war with black America and Nixon would escalate the war in Vietnam now....that the last of the peaceful leaders was now gone.....
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming 4 dead in Ohio......
Jeez. It never ceases to amaze me on how little these folks care about the history. The ideas of MLK grew from those of a deep tradition among the people not slaveholding Founding Fathers.
It's a good thing africa never had or supported slavery I guess
Today , Kevin McCarthy is scheduled to attend and will be be allowed to speak at an annual Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast in his home town of Bakersfield, Ca. for the first time that anyone can recall ? What is his purpose showing up today ? Maybe he is gong to announce his support for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act? I don’t like how politicians “high jack” MLK Day for good press coverage.
The Riverside speech was his best and most important. His problem in New York was that Adam Clayton Powell Jr. was the big fish. His followers actually egged King on at least one occasion. And don't forget that MLK was stabbed and almost died in Harlem in 1958.
U mean BLACK ON BLACK CRIME was bad n the 50s TOO???
Of course Rev. Al' is quite right re: the slings and arrows --- it's easy to battle your enemies, but harder to to endure admonishments from your own. I suppose that's why he spent so much time breaking bread with Donald J. Trump in New York City back in thems olden times. And he looked like a fattened calf back then too 🐄🍔

That's a lie....

He probably forgot about saying it

Does skin color matter that much?
@@danialhillmann5374 Evidently so.. because that's all the left talks about now. And yet Republicans are the racist ones?🤔
@@mattyjay8896 well truth be told there are racist on every party, but in reality what people label as racist is rally not the case its just pushing for division
@@danialhillmann5374 In this instance, yes it does, as we celebrate Martin Luther King junior I would like to see this from a perspective of persons whose lives are more impacted by what he did than mine.
I have to disagree with Joe. He was an amazing man, but he had a lot of leaders with him. Their contributions should not be overlooked. There was still a lot of sexism in the movement and women have not gotten enough credit for all they did either.
I do like that the song of Moses which starts 'Listen oh heavens and hear oh earth for the Lord speaks'. It was sin that keeps one from ultimate enjoyment of the promised land. Centuries later 'in the physical promised land;, Isiah echoes the opening of the song of Moses calling to judgement. in chapter 1. In Chapters 40 on a handful of times the call turns to a song 'sing of heavens and rejoice of hills and mountains for the Lord has redeemed Jacob' and the highlight of the servant songs being the suffering servant Jesus who will be rejected, suffer, die and overcome death. Ultimately oppression is the iceberg of sin. Out politics should not eclipse out Biblical values with our politics else you will miss out on the real promised land. Ultimately Moses appeared with Elijah on the mountain with Jesus and discussed the Jesus Exodus, Jesus departure (exodus in greek). Yes the Bible says 'justice, justice' shalt thou pursue but ultimately loving your neighbor and loving God and helping others only comes from a work of God and the Holy Spirit bought by the blood of Christ and not as a result of modern humanism using some Biblical terms. I'm hearing a Christless humanistic gospel and not one where the ultimate treasure is God and a relationship with his no longer alienated.
You speak of this fairy tale as if it's real.
Republicans created MLK Day. As a Republican I am taking the day off!
My employer doesnt recognize MLK day.
Oh my goodness, The Song of Moses in Deuteronomy --- incredible Mornin' Joe. And remember the song of the Florida swamp-dwellers... "And we can see The Promised Land from this church up on stilts... a land overflowing with milk and honey, plus+ fried raccoon gizzards and skunk-weed salad."... Amen 🙏🐊🦨
Yeah so I'm pretty sure that we all can agree it's Time to get back to The Ice Cube's Contract with Black America and The President Trump Platinum Plan including the Schools Choice vouchers now
President Biden's speech in Rev Warnock's church in Atlanta was wonderful. Imagine Trump doing the same. Buzzer wrong answer.
I have to admit I ain't got the best nose I could have. Like most it ain't that pretty, and it ain't that small. Worst of all it don't work that good. But I'm beginning to smell a rat in this business of classified documents being found all over the place. I'm beginning to think maybe Mother Teresa is behind it.
Hypocrites
he would be a conservative today 100%.
Good thing you people killed him.
