Dr Martin Luther King saved this country

[iamwhatiseem]

Sadly, we have another Civil Rights Patriot in poor health

John Lewis

Dude, you're just trolling now.
It is an insult to MLK and all TRUE civil rights fighters to filth up this thread with this piece of garbage.
It wouldn't be hard to quote at least 50 lines from MLK speeches/writings that is categorically the opposite of this crook

If MLK were alive today...he would know John Lewis...he wouldn't know you and he definitely wouldn't support the policies you CURRENTLY stand for..so fuk what you whining about

If MLK was alive today he would still be a republican.

If Kennedy and Truman were alive today they would be republicans.

He knows nothing.
MLK would be outraged and disgusted by the likes of Lewis who was very instrumental in creating the victim/dependent mentality.

MLK admired John Lewis

Lewis is an American Patriot, just like Dr King was

Uh huh...wore out your stirring stick yet today?

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Amen

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

Yeah because King was a Democrat. You people are historically retarded.

Are you sure you want to be embarrassed??

Because I have the time...

Please try, you loons attempts at historical revisionism is hilariously ignorant.

This is gonna be fun to see your stupid asses try to twist yourselves into pretzels to explain away King's own words...I actually read King's books...you didn't....

Please tell me what about this quote says "I'm a Republican" you dumb ass...

You do understand mlk was bought and paid for a few years before he died? Why do you think John Lewis went democrat?

Finally....the dic suckers abandon the "king is one of us" talk and decide to trash him.....like they did when he was alive....and they killed him.....

See how facts make the true racist in you come out....

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

This is called victimhood mentality which is today’s new racism. Telling your blacks they are victims and will face fake racism.
The first female millionaire was a black woman , blacks were doing far better pre 1964. Tell the truth to the young black youth!

Blacks profited from Jim Crow?
Voting cost them money?

Why does that have to do with what I said? Blacks did work with republicans.. democrats were jim crow..

Again...name me one conservative who was down south marching along side of King??

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Because I have the time...

I do.. what year did democrats repurchase blacks to pay them to say things they want?

Right around the time they hijacked the Civil rights movement.

Name me one single conservative who was down south marching along side of King, putting their life on the line like this woman did?? She wasn't a conservative republican...she was a liberal...or as your conservative elders called her -- one of those N-word lover yankee agitators....



And the reason you probably don't know who she is --- is because she wasn't a conservative....

Again...name me one conservative who was down there marching along side of MLK? marching along side of Medgar Evers? marching along side of Fannie Lou Hammer..marching along side of anyone who was down there putting their life on the line

Every year about this time it happens. Far right wingers claiming MLK as their own. If that were the case, then why do Blacks vote overwhelmingly for democrats?

Because they are slaves on the democrat plantation....

Or...because Democrats bought their vote with hand outs and welfare.....

Or...because blacks are dumb and don't know any better...…


Those are the usual answers....apparently when people vote for the party that generally advocates or that they feel they can move in the direction of policies they agree with -- that is bad or something....

Southern Conservatives enforced Jim Crow whether they were Democrats or Republican

You are turning a North/South issue into a deceptive partisan issue

It was democrats that enforced him
Crow ,, that ideology has never changed all cries of racial oppression still only comes from towns run by democrats

Why have blacks given up so much of there rights in their communities? Is that what mlk wanted? He fought for equal rights.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Conservatives should be careful to attempt to claim MLK.
In his works/opinions - there were two very different MLK's.
There was the majority of his public life - which was wholly devoted to civil rights and lifting the black race out of poverty. And in those years, his views would be quite conservative if applied to TODAY'S mentality.
A good part of his written and oral works in these years were also about self responsibility and taking your own actions to improve yourself - and NOT relying on the government or anyone else to get out of slums.
Then in his last years he was anything but conservative or republican. He did a complete turn around and began to shrug off civil rights and speak on poverty as a whole. (any race) This is when his writings seemed to come straight out of socialist creed. He championed guaranteed incomes for all Americans, and broad programs for housing.
Something changed in him the last few years.

Democrats saw they could buy black leaders to produce votes to win elections.. he was a paid speaker by universities, and other groups.. he sold out

There are different opinions on it, and certainly one of those is he became influenced by socialist/communist opinions among the elites.
