True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar

[Dieu Huynh]

Still striving for MLK's dream in the 21st century

If you have time to take a break from the busy life, please take a look at this letter written by MLK's son. We get a glimpse of who MLK jr really is, his beliefs and his life as a religious person. 

Social conservatives, long criticizing social justice movements, now try to emerge themselves into it since they can't defeat it. They are trying to claim "the civil rights movement" (quote from Beck). 

Please refrain from being angry, but I think we need to acknowledge what's going on. Especially with the mosque in NYC thing too. 

Scary stuff,

Dieu

"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. "
