Very impassioned article by Lee Jasper on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's famous speech: http://blackactivistsrisingagainstcuts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/dr-martin-luther-king-what-happens-to.html
If published in America this article would be very powerful.
In the United Kingdom it does not quite ring true.
Dr King's message to the world was that a society built on an injustice cannot endure.
Post-war immigration is an injustice. It has always been strenuously opposed by the majority, and therefore has no democratic consent. Retrospective democratic consent could of course be sought, but so far this has not been done.
Therefore Mr Jasper in the United Kingdom you are on the wrong side of Dr King's ethics.
