Hey Glenn...Martin Luther King, Jr. Was a Social Justice Christian

[Bullfighter]

Martin Luther King Jr was a bible salesman who exploited his own name.

What if I called myself Jesus Christ Jr and sold fire insurance to atheists?

Hey Bfgrn..... The social justice of the 1960s and the social justice of 2010 are about the same as the Democrat Party of the 1960s and that of 2010. Moron.

Really? Back it up with facts pea brain.

I'll be waiting...

Yeah, you might want to do a little more research. MLK Jr. voted straight Democrat all his life - his father had been a Republican until JFK, and after that, both MLK Jr. and his father voted straight Dem.

Both parties have tried to claim MLK Jr as their own. I don't think anyone really knows what party he supported. Frankly, I don't see why it matters.

Yeah, it doesn't matter. Just annoyed by revisionist historians attempting to "claim" him for conservatism.
