to bob_weaver's awesome photoshop pic ... adding a quote from MLK
RE: awesome pic bob created: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8119200 (rec it UP!)


"That's the question before you tonight. Not, "If I stop to help the sanitation workers, what will happen to all of the hours that I usually spend in my office every day and every week as a pastor?" The question is not, "If I stop to help this man in need, what will happen to me?" "If I do not stop to help the sanitation workers, what will happen to them?" That's the question.

Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation."
--MLK

that our Civil War ended today.

The South lost.

8. No we did not. America, the south INCLUDED, won.
Way to go for divisiveness on this day of unity.

9. Well, yeah, but if you recall,
it was the War Between The States, between the North and the South.

Remember that one?

Today, it ended, and the South lost.

Ultimately, of course, all of America won.

But it took one hundred and forty-four years.

13. More like racism lost.
Or, rather, its losing. Its certainly not over.

As a lifelong "northerner", I can attest to the fact that the south doesn't have the market cornered on racism.

11. I predict that the MSM will pick up this Photshop and report on it.

It will go viral, just like the DUers lovely portrait of Obama in a pensive mood.

It's a marvelous image. Thank you for it, bob-weaver! I bet half of DU will now use it in their signature line.
