That really isn't much proof, other than he saw teh weaknesses in both parties. He was a Republican because the white establishment around him was Democratic.This is what MLK said:
Just so we are clear on this. He was not a fucking Republican. Nor was he a fucking Democrat. He was tied to neither party.... just like me. So, if anyone can claim the affiliation of MLK it is 'Independents'.... like me.
Sucks to be hacks, huh?
LMAO.
It's his own words. And I tend to go by the words, and the actions of the individual concerned. I do not claim all Democrats are xxxx nor do I claim all Republicans are xxx. I treat people as individuals.
Seems to me, going by King's own words, (and by what I have read about the man), he had little time for either party.
The evidence suggests that King thought independently of 'party'. Much like me.
That isn't evidence that he did not belong to the GOP. If you have evidence of the fact, post it.
