All prejudice is evil, but the prejudice that rejects a man because of the color of his skin is the most despicable expression of man’s inhumanity to man

#MLKDay2021
Other immigrant groups came to America with language and economic handicaps, but not with the stigma of color. Above all, no other ethnic group has been a slave on American soil, and no other group has had its family structure deliberately torn apart. This is the rub.

But while so many white Americans are unaware of conditions inside the ghetto, there are very few ghetto dwellers who are unaware of the life outside.

So, boy, don’t you turn back.

Don’t you set down on the steps ’Cause you finds it kinder hard,

Don’t you fall now—

For I’se still goin,’

honey, I’se still climbin,’

And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair

Each represents a partial truth

Capitalism fails to see the truth in collectivism

Communism fails to see the truth in individualism

Capitalism fails to realize that life is social

2 Communism fails to realize that life is personal.

The good and just society is neither the thesis of capitalism nor the antithesis of Communism

but a socially conscious democracy which reconciles the truths of individualism and collectivism
