They Don’t Really Care About Us

But if Martin Luther was livin’, he wouldn’t let this be.”

  Yes, I agree with you,Horty, that the song is the “perfect fit for today’s America.”
  
  I wish that love and compassion would drown out greed, fear, racism, and hate.

Thank you, Xena, for posting “THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT US” today.

Rev. William Barber noted that if Martin Luther King were alive today that he would be:

“standing with DACA, with all immigrants. He would challenge a tax reform bill that transferred $2 trillion from the poor to the wealthy. He would be dealing head-on with health care and the resegregation of public schools. He would challenge a nation that spends 54 cents of every dollar on a military.”

This excerpt is from the article at the following link:
