Martin Luther King was a radical democrat, by which I mean someone who is a foe of wealth inequality.

Anger can be a bitterness that devours your soul while righteous indignation is morally driven, it's ethically driven.

You can't talk about truth unless you talk about yourself.

It's clear that he was incredibly courageous in his critique of white supremacy, wealth inequality, and imperial power as it relates to war in particular. But it's easy to deodorize Martin King, to sanitize or sterilize him. And I simply want to reveal his radical love and his radical analysis as what they really were.

Hey, you got something going here. I think we've got a chance for some progressive policy that actually focuses on poor and working people.

In the practice of radical love, you are embracing human beings across the board, but you do give a preference - very much like Jesus - to the least of these, to the weak, to the vulnerable. That includes poor whites and poor browns, as well as the poor in black ghettos.

If you view life as a gold rush, you're going to end up worshiping a golden calf.
