Just wondering, shouldn't we be calling MLK Jr Martin Luther King II instead?

Nope. Sr.-> Jr.->III->IV etc.

Only popes and kings and stuff do I->II etc

 

[RPGCrazied]

Will Smith

That would cut me deep. I think he has some harsh words for him at one point, I don't expect him to do that.

 

[Aaronology]

It's hope, though. It's what we need.

In the last few days we have seen Trump brazenly insult black communities and belittle people who actually led the Civil Rights movement. You think he is going to have an eye opening revelation about race relations after a handshake with MLK Jr's son? That's not hope. It's foolishness. Pretending the man is anything other than what he is gets us no where.

 

[RPGCrazied]

At least D. L. Hughley knows whats up. He burned Trump so hard over this.

 

[DragonSworne]

Nope. Sr.-> Jr.->III->IV etc.

Really? I thought Senior and Junior is only used when you are alive and when you die you become I or II. There can only be one living Jr. Die and you become II and the other living one becomes the Jr while the Sr is still alive. (This is if the father named both sons after himself).

Just wondering, shouldn't we be calling MLK Jr Martin Luther King II instead?

from wikipedia:

Alternatively, juniors are sometimes referred to as "II". However, the original name carrier relative of a "II" can be an uncle, cousin, or ancestor (including grandfather). The suffix "III" is used after either Jr or II and like subsequent numeric suffixes, does not need to be restricted to one family line. For example, if Randall and Patrick Dudley are brothers and if Randall has a son before Patrick, he will call his son Patrick II. If Patrick now has a son, his son is Patrick Jr. As time passes, the III suffix goes to the son of either Patrick Jr or Patrick II, whomever is first to have a son named Patrick. This is one way it is possible and correct for a Junior to father a IV. Another example involves President Ulysses S. Grant and his sons Frederick, Ulysses Jr, and Jesse. When Frederick's son Ulysses was born in 1881, Ulysses Jr did not yet have a son named after himself. Therefore, Frederick's son was Ulysses III. Ulysses Jr's son, born afterwards in 1893, was Ulysses IV. Jesse's son Chapman was the father of Ulysses V, as neither Ulysses III nor Ulysses IV had sons named for themselves.

Lets all guess the next black person he will invite to the tower to show his good will(fake), any guesses?

Jordan.

 

[FStubbs]

Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods identifies as Cablinasian though, not black lol

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

The message is also amazing that blacks have to come to him to meet. He couldn't do that at a church or something. "The negro must report when summoned."

 

[DragonSworne]

from wikipedia:

Thanks, I thought it goes away for some reason when you die, but if you have a II already designated when a Jr is around, I guess you keep the Junior even after death and do not take on the earliest available numeral.

what?

Ok that is why Vijay Singh is my favorite black golfer

When T.I. (motherfuckin' TIP) knows the truth of what these meetings are about more than our leaders do...I mean, just Ls all around.

I MEAN GODDAMN. HOW DOES FUCKING TIP HAVE MORE GODDAMN SENSE THAN MLKIII???

[Felix Lighter]

The man's solution to the racial issues of today is to make stop and frisk a national policy. Why meet with him and help legitimize him and his racist agenda?

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Will Smith

Hmm..

Tiger Woods

I..can see that. Considering he likely plays on his property somewhere..

 

[Silent Chief]

Almost seems like a mistake reading his agenda.

 

[JesseZao]

I mean, good move considering the day and all. Time will tell.

Yeah, quite the coincidence for them to meet.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

If an N-word tape ever comes to light, I feel bad for these black folks.

I just posted on Twitter that I would rather be deported than meet this guy at the Tower,
I got this reply

"Maybe it's for a good cause? Sometimes you have to work with the ennemi 2 accomplish a goal for others' benefit and not let pride kill you!"

from a black sister, my people piss me off something awful sometimes god damn

 

[Slayven]

These little shows are for his base and the moderates that might not be racist but don't really give a damn either way.

I feel they would be like "well he's never said it in front of me before"

OR

"Rap music is to blame..."

 

[Supast4r]

I'm watching that HBO Biopic about LBJ right now, and the man might've been racist on a personal level, but i'd challenge you to find a US politician who did more for the black man in the last 100 years. LBJ tried to drag men like Sessions kicking and screaming into the modern era, even if he might have agreed with them down in his heart.

Johnson was a man of action who didn't take any bullshit. Trump is a man of bullshit who only accidentally stumbles into action.

Lyndon was a big picture guy who didn't let his personal endeavors make his policies. We need more politicians like that tbh.

Lee Daniels or Tyler Perry

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[SolVanderlyn]

No, it's definitely one of MLK's kids. Though Obama's brother is a tool as well.

Is this Malik Obama's real twitter?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I should have made this post in a thread when he was meeting someone less consequential but is it supposed to be news every time he occupies the same room as a black person? What's the point of this?

 

[NimbusD]

I'm having less and less patience for people who treat Trump with kid gloves. Though I suppose it's a defense mechanism. We still don't know how he'll treat REALLY being attacked. He treats the smallest of criticisms as full blown attacks against him and proomises petty and vindictive responses, it's terrifying to think of how that translates once he's in power for real.

But seriously, all signs are pointing towards it getting pretty bad and normalizing this fuck;s behavior only serves to make things worse or at least harder to oppose what's coming.

I don't have a snarky comeback for that because it's true

If anything, it just shows how much these people are self-interested. Steve Harvey doesn't give a damn about anyone other than Steve Harvey. Kanye West would give up his child for 5 more minutes of headlines and fame because he's insane and thinks he's some kind of messiah.

 

[TheCochese]

I didn't have that much of respect for III before, and this doesn't exactly do much to change that.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

T.I actually does lay it down decently enough(as obvious as it should be), and that Malcolm X quote stays relevant.

Played golf with Trump back in December.

Mad respect for T.I. Glad I was a fan of his in the past.

yeah, but he asked who is next to visit the Tower so just saying

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Spoke to him for a minute or two during the opening of his dad's memorial in DC..seemed like an ok dude. I hear you tho..

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Nope. Sr.-> Jr.->III->IV etc.

Only popes and kings and stuff do I->II etc

Just to expound on that, "Jr" is the son of "sr" while "II" is someone named after someone in the family with the same name but not a son(ie you can be a II if you have the same name as your uncle or grandfather)

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Used. I'm actually embarrassed for him.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Is every meeting he's having with these people like "imma give you $50 million in non sequential unmarked bills" or something

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I'm sure in these meetings he fucking nods his head and agrees with EVERYTHING the other guy says.

This is what scares me most about him being in the Situation Room.
