Maybe your 5 year old is some kind of savant. Because I know if I showed my 6 year old a 60 year old speech, they'd be like 'frick this' and immediately zone out.

If I was able to shop in the dad from Bluey giving the speech, we might have a deal.

You have to post to social media to get your virtue signaling points. TD doesn’t count

Most of your state looks like Livingston Parish.

You are correct. And the reason you have about 1/3 downvotes is because those people are ignorant of what that speech is about. If they realized that it is in opposition to woke ideology they would think differently.

MLK was a hero in the line of the men who forced Magna Carta onto King John; the American Founders; and Abraham Lincoln.

No no he means he literally doesn’t see race.

They don’t let him interact in areas with such riff raff.

It really is amazing. I have twin 6 year old girls and it's like skin color isn't even a thing. No recognition of it at all. It gives me hope for the human species after all. We aren't genetically broken after all.

Now homosexuality is something completely different. They caught onto that shite in that new Disney movie immediately and was completely thrown off by it.

Wait till he starts saying “negro” in public. MLK said it 17 times in that speech but it’s left the commonly accepted vernacular. Good luck. 5 year olds have a habit of repeating words they’ve heard but don’t understand at the worst possible time.

So was JFK, FDR, and Trump amongst others.

What's your point in that non-sequitur?

It’s quite normal to judge others in all sorts of situations based on a myriad of factors, including race. It’s funny you say we aren’t “genetically broken” by not recognizing race when it’s actually in our nature to use all sorts of cues to assess people and danger
