Glen Beck rallys large WHITE crowd at Lincoln Memorial yanking it from MLK speech site. (863 hits)
A predominately white crowd made it clear that not only can MLK dream. Glen Beck said he has a new dream. Black Americans own no special right to Lincoln Memorial. Whites are tired of a bunch of Negroes gathering at the nation's capitol making fruitless speeches. So Glen Beck said they wanted to take their country back. It was a blow to civil rights that the cry from children of American slaves for freedom and justice is becoming muted today. Glen Beck and white people took over the lamplight which formerly was reserved for black Americans and Dr. Martin Luther King.
Black Americans need to update our venue instead of repeating the same old lines from MLK speeches. If black Americans do not get up and do something for ourselves, white people will take back civil right gains of the 50s and 60s.
Whites were in huge numbers at the Glen Beck crowd. Together with the news coverage, it made for a day similar to a KKK rally.
