Martin Luther King Day Reminds The World Of His Message Of Peace And Equality

"Injustice Anywhere Is A Threat To Justice Everywhere" - Martin Luther King Jr.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. day, celebrating the life and legacy of the great civil rights hero, whose acts of peaceful protest changed the world. King, an eloquent preacher, shared his message of love, peace and equality with the world. He was ahead of his time and some hated him for his views of love and justice.

Throughout his years in the public eye, he was mercilessly and relentlessly pursued by the FBI, who ultimately commissioned his tragic death. However, in doing so, they made King a martyr revered around the world as a man of peace. King received the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize for his contributions to humanity and has a lasting legacy as a world hero.

In the lives of many great heroes, one will find love, conflict, struggle and betrayal. It is something all great men and women have to face and overcome. King's words indicated his disappointment at the betrayal of his friends who fled in the face of persecution from the FBI when he stated, "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends" and "There comes a time when silence is betrayal."

All too often those in government look the other way to the unthinkable, the pain and suffering of the poor and the innocent. To this King stated, "Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way."

But King understood love is greater than hate, as he stated, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" and "I have decided to stick to love...Hate is too great a burden to bear."

No matter what you go through in life, when it seems like evil has triumphed over good, do not allow the hatred of others to change you to their negative ways. Remember the good you stand for and let it be the guiding force in your hearts and minds.

FBI Director And Racist, Robert S. Mueller

As black history month draws to a close, the Judiciary Report would like to celebrate the accomplishments of black people in America and around the world. The site would also like to take a look at the state of human rights, concerning the treatment of black people by federal law enforcement, particularly the FBI.

A proper legal system is important to any nation, but when it becomes corrupted, problems arise that are harmful to those in society, deemed at a disadvantage due to race. The law is supposed to give each person a fair shake, but as lawsuits against the FBI have shown, they are actively discriminating against, spying on and abusing blacks and other people of color (Muslims). Nothing good is going to come of what is illegally transpiring.

During the civil rights era, black people fought for equal rights and changes were made in the movement's wake. It's appalling that said rights have been systematically trampled and reversed, by the crooked law enforcement agency that is the FBI. Congress has been complicit in these FBI abuses that are worthy of criminal prosecution. As the saying goes, people who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Racism In The Tea Party

Tea Party comic featuring stereotypes and slurs, regarding black President, Barack Obama

Many Republicans have thrown their support behind the Tea Party movement that seeks to take America back. However, elements of ugly racism have crept into the cause and that serves no proper cause in the party.

A terrible, racist comic has been leaked, featuring an awful caricature of black U.S. President, Barack Obama, reminiscent of the ignorance and prejudice of the 1950s and 1960s. This does the Republican party no favors and should desist immediately, as it is patently offensive and unfunny.

You're not going to take America back with that. You're going to take the KKK back. America has over 40,000,000 black people and millions of other minorities. You think about that.
