As for BAR, in the last episode the two lady guests … both Jewish … made some uncomfortable references to the tragedy, and then moved on to other topics.

Dr. King And Mr. King
PG stumbled onto a blog post about a speech. It was delivered August 28, 1963, by Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. You have probably heard the money quote many times, but how many have heard the entire 881 words. PG had not, and decided to take a look.
The speech is really a sermon. It is delivered with the cadence, and rhetorical flourishes, of the church. Dr. King was a minister. The Church is a huge player in African America. The fact that slaves were introduced to this religion, by their owners, seems to be forgotten.
The term used is Negro. This was the polite word in 1963. The custom of saying Black started in the late sixties, at least partially inspired by James Brown. Negro began to be seen as an insult.
Twelve weeks after Dr. King gave his speech, President John Kennedy was killed. Part of the reaction to this tragedy was the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The next year saw the Voting Rights Act, and escalation of the war in Vietnam. It seemed that for every step forward, there was a half step back. People lost patience with non violence. America did not implode, but somehow survived. It is now fifty nine years later.
The other day PG stumbled onto a blog post, about a speech given by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This address was deemed “the singularly most-important speech on race in the history of this country.”
PG admires Dr. King. He is also suspicious of superlatives. There were some comments made by Rodney Glen King III. The comments by Mr King were briefer, and tougher to live up to.
While thinking of things to write about, PG realized that he had never seen the actual quote by Mr. King. When you see this video, you might realize that Mr. King has been misquoted. The popular version has him saying “Can’t we all just get along.” He did not say just.
Mr. King was known to America as Rodney King. His friends called him Glen. His comments, at 7:01, May 1, 1992, went like this: ““People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along? Can we stop making it, making it horrible for the older people and the kids? . . . Please, we can get along here. We all can get along. I mean, we’re all stuck here for a while. Let’s try to work it out. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to beat it.”
The circumstances of the two comments could not be more different. Dr. King was giving the sermon of his life. There was an enormous crowd, both in person and on TV. His comments were scripted, rehearsed, and delivered with the style he was famous for.
Mr. King, by contrast, had just seen the officers who beat him acquitted. Cities from coast to coast were in violent upheaval. Mr. King was speaking to reporters, without benefit of a speech writer. What he said might be more important. This double repost has pictures from The Library of Congress.

christopher isherwood on choosing a religion ‘The Problem of the Religious Novel’ christopher isherwood Vedanta and the West ~ @kittypurrzogWhat is the *most* antisemetic thing Candace Owens has done? Aside from the Hitler shrine in her bathroom ~ Today is the first day of the rest of your life ~ 380 320 280 240 ~ @bernybelvedere 1: For the past week, the publication where I am senior editor, The UnPopulist, has been embroiled in a genuinely preposterous micro-tiff with The Fifth Column, a libertarian-leaning podcast. I want to give my account of why I found TFC and their fans’ posture ridiculous ~ There were two fires in Atlanta. The one Scarlet fled was in September. CSA was abandoning the city, and burned anything of value. The second fire was in November. Sherman was leaving, and burned the rest. ~ I wasn’t sure what a tapestry was, other than an album by Carole King. I thought it was something like a quilt, but it turns out to a a woven work. All the threads in in are on the same surface, rather than a quilt, where different pieces of cloth are sewn together. I googled tapestry, and one of the results was the tapestry hoodie. “Capture timeless artistry with our custom tapestry hoodie. Crafted from high-quality weft-faced weaving, this hoodie is the perfect way to showcase your unique designs. There is a one-time setup fee of $49 and a 4-6 week turnaround time for production, but the intricate detail and authentic look won’t disappoint. Wear art you can be proud of.” I have always thought of a hoodie as a practical garment. It is a layer in cold weather, that works well with a scarf tied around the neck. It is going to be hidden under a jacket, and is going to get dirty. A tapestry hoodie, otoh, is supposed to be seen and clean. While it was be a statement garment, I don’t think this is going to be worth the time and money involved in getting it. Tapestry also comes with a charter school option, and a hospice. I can see this metaphor used to describe a school, instead of a literal fabric to craft a hoodie out of. I did not check out the tapestry hospice option, and i don’t think i will have time. ~ Happy Birthday Anita Bryant, Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Flannery O’Connor ~ “a mineral K2Ca2Cu(SO4)4.2H2O consisting of a hydrous sulfate of copper, calcium, and potassium” ~ this is the first monday morning reader to appear after Charley Brown went to the makeup mirror in the sky. On the chamblee54 text template, there is a line of text. It is the same length of a line of text on the page, and is helpful for compiling the MMR: A young RuPaul and Charlie Brown star in Al Clayton’s 1980s photography show, “Drag Queens ~ this is a story about google, a podcast, and religion. Sheldon Dick took the photograph in 1938. “Shenandoah, Pennsylvania. Beer party in Joe Gladski’s cellar. Mr. Gladski is in the right foreground.” ~ @EliLake When Israel vanquishes the Hamas terror army in Gaza, the IDF should get the Nobel peace prize. There, I said it. ~ “Racism” is a popular term, for an unpopular custom. People have been hating on people who don’t look like them as long as there have been people. The R-word appears to have been first used in 2002, at the Lake Mohonk Conference of Friends of the American Indian. ~ @tejucole “George Carlin’s original seven dirty words can all be said freely now. The one word you can’t say, and must never print, is “racist.” ~ This is a repost from 2016. ~ This is a repost from 2022. I got a TV this year, so watching the Super Bowl was not a problem … except when the niners scored a touchdown, and I said “go motherfucker” without muting my microphone. … ~ Two years ago, I wrote an extended book report on a Hank Chinaski book. It has a little bit about Hank, and whatever popped/pooped into my mind. … The only Neil that’s uglier than Neil Young is Neal Boortz. I would hate to be the judge of that beauty contest. … this robo secretary rant is being edited on the day after Russia invaded Ukraine. It is amazing how last week’s concerns are now obsolete. ~ Good Friday Morning. Jesus knew it was going to be a big day, and he made sure he looked his best. ~ r/religiousfruitcake posted a tweet by Donnie advertising his MAGA bible, on sale for $59.99. I commented “$59.99 upside down is $66.62.” The seminal post was removed by mods. ~ @barrypopik “The U.S. should add three more states. Because 53 is a prime number. Then they can truly be one nation, indivisible” ~ There are two six letter racial slurs. One starts with R, one ends with R. One I am forbidden to say, one I am forbidden to not say. The one I must say is RACIST. ~ This is a repost from 2017. ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress ~ selah
