They could not take your Pride

I haven't posted lately. I've simply been too busy. I hope to be able to find time to do so again soon but until then, I just wanted to do a post very similar to the one I did three years ago today.

Today is 40 years since the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I know his name has been misused and bastardized by people including but, certainly not limited to Jesse Jackson, but what he thought, did, felt, and fought for were all amazing things that changed the world.
More so, they could still change the world. I see people all the time who like to claim he's their hero yet he would be disgusted to see them. There's an episode of the TV show The Boondocks that shows how Dr. King would likely feel about culture today. Watch it. Its much more meaningful than you'd expect.

As I did three years ago today, I can only commemorate this in a small way by living a life I think he'd appreciate, making note of his existence, and posting the following song (yet again).

Read it. Enjoy it. Listen to it.

...Though Bono is the biggest turd in the universe. Bono want some biddy?

Pride (In The Name Of Love)
by U2


One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

(nobody like you...)

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...
