Dr Martin Luther King saved this country

[bigrebnc1775]

Amen

Here comes the republicans to claim him as one of their own, happens every year.

So why would a black man who was fighting for civil rights for black people be a fucking democrat when it was the democrats who were fighting tooth and nail to keep them from having those civil rights?

It’s a conundrum they avoid

They can't think logically but with emotion

What’s funny is his message falls on deaf ears in the Democrat Party of today.

Judge people by their character? Assess people on their abilities and not their skin color?

As if!

Now the Dems are all about race based discrimination. Whites are bad and we must promote “minorities” all the time. “Diversity” now means non-whites only.

Protests should always be peaceful? Tell that to BLM rioters and mobs that attack people based on their skin color.

The radical left now hate MLK’s actual message.

Yep. The Democrat Party, the former “Party of Slavery”, is now just the “Party of DIE”. It’s the maniacal chant of the religious zealots who define the Dems / Socialists.

I look at Dr King as an American Patriot on par with the founders of our Country.

Like our founders, Dr King fought for Liberty and Justice for Americans who were being deprived of equal treatment.

Dr King gave his life for the cause.

If you read the Declaration of Independence there is a list of grievances justifying Independence.
Those grievances included lack of representation, taxes, housing of troops in peoples homes.

They pale in comparison to the grievances blacks had against this country.

MLK fucked blacks over BIG TIME….he should have launched a coalition and led a crusade to get blacks back to their homelands in Africa.
It’s been 60 years and black folks are still being discriminated against, still living in a ”SYSTEMICALLY RACIST” nation….they are still forced to commit crime, forced to stay on the taxpayer tit and forced to make babies they can’t raise or afford….they are still being tortured and oppressed by evil RACIST whitey.
A real legit leader of the black community would lead blacks back to Africa TODAY to allow them to live that amazing life they missed out on.

Dr King tried to stay apolitical.
He wanted to keep Civil Rights a bipartisan issue

What a stupid position

Dr King realized blacks were as AMERICAN as you are and deserved equal treatment

But to say he was a democrat like many of you cultist do is not logical.

Negative…Blacks don’t consider themselves American… They refer to themselves as AFRICAN American…African first. They have their own “African American Community” here….. No white person refers to themself as Irish American nor do they consider themselves part of an Irish American Community…white people are American and American first.

Dr King was an American Patriot just as much as our founding fathers. Cost him his life.
He deserves to be honored as such

No, a floormat deserves more honor. MLK laughed as a woman was raped and had multiple adulterous affairs.

I grew up in the 60's and saw most of the Civil Rights movement. Like most Americans, I was outraged at the assasination of Dr King. When we talked about giving him a national holiday ten years later, I looked at it as a form of appeasement for outraged blacks.....a way of giving them their own holiday to quiet them down.

In reading about the Civil Rights movement in subsequent years, I realized what a great American Dr King was. Black Americans came back after WWII to find that despite fighting and dying in defense of their country, they were still treated like lesser Americans. They found they were not allowed to mingle with whites, were not welcome in much of the country they had fought for. Blacks were considered to be dirty, diseased and sub human. Some whites were outraged at the thought of eating with blacks, using the same restrooms, riding on public transportation with them.

As black Americans began to protest their treatment in their own country they were met with harsh resistance from both white militants and governments who swore to support inequal treatment. Blacks were denied the right to vote, to freely associate, rights to a fair trial. Those who resisted were met with terrorist attacks. Lynchings, bombings, arrest and assasination of their leaders.

Most of us faced with such horrific treatment in our own homeland would fight violence with violence. How would you react if someone spat on your child for trying to go to school?

When the courts did not protect blacks, armed conflict would seem a reasonable response. Dr King knew violence would only result in more violence against you. He modeled the Civil Rights movement around Gandhis peaceful resistance theories. By using cameras to document the treatment of peaceful protestors he saved this country from an armed violent protest that would have destroyed this country.


America returned from WWII as an economic and military superpower. But a country that does not treat its citizens with respect is not a moral superpower. By changing the way we treat our citizens, Dr King, more importantly, saved our soul. By forcing us to look in a mirror and see who we really are, he enabled us to become a truly great country.

On this Martin Luther King day I hope everyone can reflect on what a great American he was and how much better off we all are

i agree 100 percent!

But you say they haven’t received “equal treatment”….right?
Why fight it any longer…why not just return to where you came from…to a place where society embraces you?
If I moved to Japan and everybody hated me I’d move right back to the U.S.…I wouldn’t need decades to think about what I should do….I wouldn’t beg Japan for some free shit for mistreating me….I’D JUST FUCKING LEAVE!

Are you sure “we’re all much better off”? It certainly FEELZ good to say that doesn’t it….but is it true?
You‘d have to show us the data…what would a nation without blacks look like?
You should probably rethink that retarded bullshit because I’ve seen the data.

 

[LeftofLeft]

No, those CONSERVATIVES were registered Democrats in the South. Democrats in the North were liberals who supported Civil Rights
Today, those Conservatives are Republicans

See JFK.

 

[2aguy]

Sad To see Democrats try to take King and his legacy as their own given how they treated him. Segregation, Jim Crow, voting against countless civil rights bills, and having him under electronic surveillance.

A simple apology will suffice.

Don't forget......a democrat murdered him....

 

[rightwinger]

But to say he was a democrat like many of you cultist do is not logical.

Same applies to claiming he was a Republican
Dr King wanted both sides to support the cause

 

[rightwinger]

See JFK.

What about JFK?

 

[2aguy]

Conservative is not the word that matters.....considering Republican, religious conservatives started the Abolitionist movement, and freed the slaves and MLK himself was a deeply religious conservative....

The word that actually matters is "Democrat," the party that owned the slaves, started a Civil War to keep the slaves, and enacted Jim Crow, lynching, and members who started the KKK.........and fought every single Civil Rights act till the very end, when LBJ told them they had to finally vote for the last one if they wanted to win national elections....

Better off than the Jim Crow South?

You bet we are

He wouldn't have voted for a democrat on election day. Drops mic
