WELL, happy birthday, Dr. King.

"We oppose the use of quotas. We want a color-blind society. A society, that in the words of Dr. King, judges people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character," proclaimed Ronald Reagan, blatantly misrepresenting Dr. King's words and intentions. Turning Dr. King into Dr. Pawn. Following the right-wing trend. Turning civil rights into civil wrongs. Edwin Meese blowing out the candles by spitting on the cake.

Happy birthday.

"No amount of gold could provide an adequate compensation for the explotation and humiliation of the Negro in America down through the centuries. Yet a price can be placed on unpaid wages," said Dr. King. The check is in the mail. The check will bounce anyway. Reagan has engineered an apartheid recovery, an economic upswing with "whites only" posted on the opening doors of opportunity.

Black unemployment is double that of whites.

Black family median income is half that of whites.

Almost half of Black families live in poverty.

"Love has overcome hate," said George Bush at the recent King salute.

"I know and we all know unless we're blind that we have not reached the promised land," said Cardinal Bernard Law '53, archbishop of Boston, at the King salute.

Well, happy birthday.

We are opposed to the use of quotas, says Reagan. In the words of Dr. King, says Reagan.

Almost half of Black families live in poverty.

Well, happy birthday, Dr. King.

"In our society it is murder, psychologically, to deprive a man of a job or an income," said Dr. King. There is a lot of killing going on in the job market. Sixteen percent of Blacks don't have jobs. All dead. We are opposed to the use of quotas says Reagan. Words of Dr. King says Reagan. Half of Black families live in poverty. It is murder, says Dr. King. Capital punishment. Murder by supply-side. Reagan lengthening the lines of the living dead, the unemployed, with Black zombies. In our society it is murder.

Well.
