“Man, R-, for being a big guy, you sure are sensitive!”
The Mural was a very interesting experience for me,I actually happened by it one morning as opposed to going there on purpose. My father was a very bigoted,ignorant, fool and would have said the most horrendous things with a portrait of MLK in front of him. For me to have the opportunity to give my son the heartfelt respect MLK deserves was very moving indeed.Maybe your son will have an experience like mine one day?I have read Malcom X and sympathize with him as much as you do Jesus,another rebel who died because he didn’t know when to shut his mouth.
JG Since you are a retired naval officer,You are just reminding me of my Navy days when I was an enlisted guy and I had to call people like you “sir”. That was painful. I am sensitive enough to think about the other people on this blog that might be hurt by your insensitive behavior and I am sensitive enough to let it go for your sake.The comment was very unbecoming no matter how you spin it.
Best wishes
