Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey, & Malcolm X Discussion

2012 Segregation Still at Its Worst The modal value immediatelys change surfacets and the behaviorstyle of spirit is approached, the volume of our past would own been surprised to know how much we crap accomplished, and even more(prenominal) surprised to know some subjects lull hang in the alike(p). Since the conveyning of whilekind, multitude bedevil fought for their rights in order to make life a much easier way to live with unrivalled a nonher. Documents like the t 1 of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and even far tail to the Ten Commandments, necessitate been indite to commemorate some sort of peace structure to live by, with appear harming one a nonher.In America, freedom, rightful(prenominal)ice, and equality for wholly has been a major issue that is just to be fully fulfilled. Although, America is all nearly supporting the common chord lifestyles, the nation ar the ones who make the situation almost impossible to tinct. If the tight le aders from our past were alive to daylight helping us reach the right decision to these calculates, the solutions would come even sooner to society found on their helpful ideas, or maybe even the people of today would still be cap equal of assassinating them for their wise words and leadership.Leaders like Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther queen mole rat Jr. , and Malcolm X, already had strong voices of opinion then and would arrive at even higher voices today. Taking that if with the advanced science t present is today, we would be able to bring back in time the lives of Martin Luther King Jr. , Malcolm X, and Marcus Garvey for them to be able to be the same age they were while showing activism, and produce an intellectual conversation with one another some the issues we are still facing, what would they have to say nearly them?Matters to discuss like the campaign alternative with our black President Obama, gangs in the linked States, or an even more poplar subject the tuging for legalizing gay join with aside the supposes. Since Egyptian times there have been records of same agitate couples, this is not a new subject to mankind plainly yet we treat it as if it is something our ancestors have never heard of and a new disc all everyplacey. Gay matrimony has been an on leaving debate in our society. The political science trying to mark off who individual marries is limiting gay rights. May 3rd, 2012.Walking along the beachy streets of Venice, California Malcolm, Martin, and Marcus, roleplay into each other while still in shock to be alive again where they are. Malcolm and Martin recognizing one another, Malcolm recognizing Marcus, and Marcus not being able to imbibe laid nevery since he came from an early time of theirs. After being unitedly for a short amount of time in present day era, they have already learned near many events, issues, and problems there has stumbled through time. Taking a seat on a park bench, they begin to assemble som e of their findings and ideas.Marcus So men, one topic Ive been auditory sense about both negatively and positive about has been the issue on either banning same-sex nuptials or legalizing it. What do you all think should be through about that? Malcolm Well jump off with that, it brings back the predicament we were trash for back in our days for the right of our freedom because of the coloration of our skin. Even though the issue today is whether or not the same sex should be able to embrace, tho who is the government to tell someone who they could marry or who they cannot?Marcus If it really is this big of an issue, all homosexuals who need to marry should just move to a state like Massachusetts, where same-sex marriage is legalized, and they could colonise there to be able to marry and be more agreeable in the communities they are in rather than fighting for it where their state leave alone not allow it. Malcolm Marcus, my father, may he rest in peace, had a big admira tion for you and your ideas about how we should have handled racism your way about moving back to Africa to avoid the segregation here.And so do I. tho in this dry land, we have learned to build up our democracy and curb issues like racism, not fully since it still exists in some ways, but its been handled to avoid discrimination. Now we believe in equality, and equality means that you have to put the same thing over here that you out over there (Malcolm 139). Our country is a nation of freedom, but yet that is interpreted away when the freedom of others choosing the one to marry, the ones they love, comes to place. Since the beginning of our nation we have been fighting for eligious, racial, and many other basic merciful rights. Denying gay marriage is fighting against a humans basic right to love. Marcus Garvey in the beginning of this conversation, is trying to state that if it is really main(prenominal) to homosexuals, they should just leave their state and enter one where same-sex marriage is legal. Something he had also been saying to his people during his reign of leadership, enduring in peoples mind to simply go back to Africa where they are sure to receive equal treatment within their dyed people.Readings had been done about the topic by Martin Luther King, who wanted to uncover deeper about the subject of gay marriage. He learned that conservative Theodore B. Olson, of the republican party, states in his article The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage, that legalizing same-sex marriage would be a recognition of basic American principles, and it would represent the culmination of our nations dedication to equal rights. Theodore also states that it is the last major milestone to be over came in our fight towards civil rights.After accomplishing the black and snow-covered racism battle over the days, much is still the same. Martin Luther King Well men, after hearing you two discuss yesterday a little of what should be done about the fact of ga y marriage, I went off to uncover more about the issue. According to a man by the name of Gary Gates, he did a study of how many homosexuals there are in the United States alone, and it came out to over quartette million gays, thats more than four million people we are denying equal rights tooThis does not embroil people who claim to be bisexual as closely. Marcus Nothing has changed. These white folks have poisoned the rest of our country to harm not whole the rights of a negro anymore, but the rights of regular human beings that would only want to be one and marry. They have lost their sympathies throughout, heterosexuals have settled go across to see nothing but their own interest (Garvey 205). Martin Luther King That is right. The tables have turned that even the white folks, deny their own people of color. yet because of the sexuality they have.Imagine being told the way you were born or see things or feel for them, is wrong? And it had to be untaught to you only because o thers do not approve for it? Or your religion does not? That is not the way this country should be heading. Malcolm The internal consciousness of this country is bankrupt. They make it appear they have our good interests at heart, but when you study it, every time, no matter how many steps they take us forward, its like were standing on awhat do you call that thing? (Malcolm 143). Marcus A treadmill Malcolm A treadmillThe treadmill is moving backwards faster than were able to go forward in this direction. Were not even standing stillwere going backwards. If this country really wants to find a solution to gay marriage, I suggest we take it as an aggressively strong approach to fill our voices heard, heard aboard To where others believe this country is all about equality, we result show them we still arent. Because thats the only way America finds conclusions to her problems. When America is panicky of outside pressure, or when shes afraid of her image abroad (Malcolm 159).Martin Luther King reside here Malcolm, I love your enthusiasm when it comes to doing the right thing for our people, but the way we approach this issue should not be aggressively to the place where we involve outside allies to help us solve our problems. The government testament hear it from us, and only us. Our most great powerful nonviolent utensil is, as would be expected, also our most demanding, that is organization. To enhance change, people must be organized to work to outwither in units of power. Malcolm So at once again King you think we should still be resolving important issues of our society with the help of nonviolence?Now, I am not headphone judgment you on your practice of nonviolence, but I believe that I myself would go for nonviolence if it was consistent, if everybody was going to be nonviolent all the time. Id say, okay to you King, lets pose with it, well all be nonviolent with the homosexuals. But I dont go along with any kind of nonviolence unless everybo dys going to be nonviolent. And once that happens, well then, life has really changed. But up until now 40 something years later, things still seem to be the same. So in order to get the human rights there still seems to be achieved, power and aggression should be shown (Malcolm 139).Martin Luther King When Negros marched back in our days, so did the nation. If we could only get all the devoted homosexuals who want to marry to unite and march together, the results would be extraordinary. The power of the nonviolent march is indeed a mystery. It leave be surprise to have a few hundreds, maybe even thousands, of gays marching to produce a strong reaction in their nation. When marches are cautiously organized around well-defined issues, they represent the power which Victor Hugo phrased as the most powerful force in the world, an ideas whose time has come. Marching feet promise that time has come for a given idea. When the die is a sound one, the cause is just one, and the demonstrat ion a righteous one, change will be forthcoming. And marching once is not going to get us straight to the conclusion we want, it will take several marches to show how serious this really is to different types of peoples lives (Nonviolence 59). Marcus Im beginning to agree with what King here has to saythe technique of nonviolence shows to have worked before and it will be a continuous practice to be done in the hereafter obviously.I still think gays should just move together to find their teething ring zone where they are accepted, but that does take away from their pride and human rights they deserve. Now I too did more research on this, and sadly marrying the same sex denies you from even greater problems that are plain out unfair. Many people suggest that same sex couples just get domestic partnership or a civil union, but this does not allow them to benefit from health insurance. They cannot gain from their title of being a wife or husband. Employers dont allow spouse or chil dren of same sex to have health care coverage and will only sway it through marriage.Malcolm That is a big problem. Come to think of it, when someone in your family is hospitalized, the only visitation under critical conditions, are allowed by fair family and spouses. So most of these same-sex domestic partnerships are not allowed to see one another if even on the verge of dying. Martin Luther King They are reservation it feel that perhaps homosexuals are less than human. The white men at first refused to accept change. And now not only is it the white man who is refusing to accept change it is also the black, the yellow, the brown.The struggles these gays are going through will begin to help them to evaluate themselves, and with their determination to struggle and sacrifice, until the walls of segregation have been fully crushed by the battering rams of justice, should be met again (Nonviolence 7). Facts about how Gay marriage is illegal is unconstitutional, this law takes away basic rights to gays that are important, it really all comes down to love. Looking around at so many gay couples around America, they were so devoted to one another, as a heterosexual couple is as well.After discussing this issue with many people who are against same-sex marriage, one was a changed person in regards to it. Marriage is not just a government form to people it is a way of expressing their life long commitment to one another. Same sex marriage should be legalized because it supports what our nation believes in and will only unite our nation more. If Martin Luther King Jr. , Malcolm X, and Marcus Garvey were still alive today, this issue would be one they too would be battling for because banning same sex marriage goes against our nations fight towards equality.Basic human rights are taken away from gay couples, the last thing these leaders wanted to leave the Earth by was to know that human rights are still taken away from their own people. Something that they fought so enceinte to get out of. They would want everyone to see same sex marriage as nothing new or different from heterosexual marriage, just as they taught America and the world to see black and white people no different or greater than one another. Gays are humankind too and should have the right to commit to the ones they love.
