this episode of the young turks is brought to you by audible dot com everybody know about
that part of all podcast dot com slash t white sea
like a to and
knows a lot about civil disobedience is mark mckay
but he also knows a lot about fighting for labor unions in fact he was shot in memphis
when he went to go support
union strike it was a garbage workers in memphis and he was there to support them when he was
killed
that's reality
if you watch fox news get a completely alternate version of reality they're gonna bring on
jesse lee peterson at your
familiar with this guy something like that she was on our program
and easy to talk to people who don't they don't have the most mind-bending times as
you are busy clip number three
visited washington today
new york city right now angry union workers saying that they have had enough
that's ok here's what is freezing out
forty three years of the day after it was gunned down union portion of that too many
is over the top
you know if possible to turn over you agree
i believe and i think he's turned over to his green today
i was born on a plantation on an alabama hypotensive payment
in a civil rights movement ideas is sit-ins
and i think he was about united in the race is the word about the body now
dot the team believed that the same law that protect the white americans to protect black
americans he wanted us to have the freedom to move about in this country he was about
more morality and justice
and for jesse jackson and others to take his movements and tasted purpose
and use it for personal gain
i have to say nato is not the last did evil though i think he would not agree with this
dr king
a lot of the labor movement lobbying is that's not me saying it is dr king saying it either
million closely as i'm sure you one more quick from those guys at first but uh... he said
things like
armies are identical labor's needs
uh... and and he said we want decent wages fair working conditions he said
i do not speak for *** workers only a living wage should be the right of all
all working america's he talked about representing poor whites as well as for blacks
medical twice this that doctor king would be for his great
because people say you support the union's let me give you one more call for boxes and
then we have more devastating twist dot date let's watch
referred to union workers inside that that that bad
martin luther king
would appreciate their their fight when in fact uh... you know he he he went to memphis
tennessee to show support base so it's admissible sanitation workers who are on strike at the
top now aren't they say that he was sympathetic to the working man and that itself out though
he would be sympathetic to the working man public workers cause today you buy that
no
that i think he was that the fed into the black workers there because they were discriminated
based on color alone
because they were black
that if he did not go daddy gibbons support so that they could be a power
and control to the u_n_ teams
and now i don't know what they're doing actually sit
negroes are not only for the nation there nearly twice as many white border zero therefore
the struggle against poverty is not involves solely with color or racial discrimination
but with elementary economic
justice how clear did he have to be and i gave you the earlier quote where he said i
do not speak only for *** work is not a lot more quotes here's another one longer
what negroes in the united states that the history of labor and find it deep here is
our own experience
we're confronted by powerful forces
sinus rely on the good will come to see any of those who profit by exploiting us
is another one labor's historic tradition of moving forward to create vital people
as consumers of services has become are own tradition
and for the same reasons you want another one
irreverent peterson israel history for you uh... is i think saying history is a great
teacher
that everyone knows that the labor movement did not diminish the strength of the nation
but enlarged it by raising the living standards of millions labor miraculously
created a market for industry
held up in the whole nation
sundry levels of production
those who attacked label labor
forget the simple truths
but history remembers that
on lesser on fox news channel in which case it's a
nope its exact opposite martin if it wasn't for the labor movement he wasn't for the union's
even though their or pages and pages of quotes where doctor king if you just her for yourself
labor movement was absolutely critical and that he was fair in favor of it for blacks
and whites and everybody else's itself for economic justice
don't ever believe anything you hear on fox news
