It is truely an injustice for any of the party's to indicate an rhetorical association. A word about racism is it is clearly defined as prejudice, and the abilty to impose prejudice. Because it is a fact that America has an african-american population of roughly 12%, which clearly shows an appoximate 1% increase since 1910, most definately it is a severe inability for us all to see Americans as Americans. This is the life, the truth , and the clear and only message of Dr. King's great legacy.

It was originally from Michael Jackson's "HIStory" album from 1995. Actually, there was a bit of controversy over the song for it's allegedly anti-semitic lyrics, such as the line "Kick me, kike me, don't you black or white me". I believe those lyrics were rewritten for later releases of the song (original lyrics here: http://is.gd/1mB5v ). I also find it interesting that Dr. King may have been a Republican. Interesting considering how Republicans are supposedly racists, even though Lincoln and maybe King were Republicans themselves.
