I saw about a DOZEN serious abuses of a dead corpse on Monday with desperate politicians channeling MLK in his afterlife... I think he probably just shuts off the noise every MLK day and wishes for some BBQ from Memphis...

I understand what the bible says and that's exactly why I said what I did. For example you have right wingers who have committed adultery telling liberals how ungodly it is to be tolerant of gays. Both sins are equal but you don't see the push to make marriage after divorce illegal.There is a difference between an angry god and a god who allows every vice there is to its maximum detriment. Especially when people are taxed for it. Biblical scripture tells you what happens. Lets face it we don't need many reasons to have wars. And all of those vices to the max, cause them.If he had lived, I do think he would have helped create the economic development you say is needed today. It stands to reason that many things would be different and it may have been King instead of Obama who would have been the first black president in 1972 and would have served 2 terms and Reagan very well may not have been able to rise into prominence which means this current type of "conservatism" probably would not have taken hold. That would mean we'd not be talking about a president trump.
But looking at what actually happened, he probably would have done better to adopt Malcolm X's economic nationalism. Your opinion is correct in this regard.
As long as this alternate scenario got rid of Nixon faster -- I'm all for it...
BTW -- His religious faith and convictions TODAY would be a real conundrum for the Dem team.. Don't think that would fly very well...
No it wouldn't. You really need to unlearn your radicalization.
You're just naive if you think Dr. King could be a "secular humanist" to fit into today's Dem Party... Having prayer breakfasts not ONCE a year but maybe once a week would be VERY PROBLEMATIC to your political clan today...
Because it removes one of their LARGEST WEDGE ISSUES... And all those "bible thumping Christians" would no longer be just deplorable Repubs....
Having a REVEREND as president?? According to the official diversity scoring guide, (LOL ---I stole a copy) his NEGATIVE points on JUST that would put him out before Cory Booker in the primaries...
Fool, every democrat is not a secular humanist and when King lived there was word going around in 1968 that King might possibly be Kennedys running mate. You don't seem to understand the difference in the way liberals and conservatives see God. The conservative god is a draconian angry god waiting to punish everyone for sin. He's the god who says starve if you don't work. Rev. Jackson and Rev Sharpton have ran for president in the democratic party and Rev. William Barber is a leader in the Democratic party.
You really need not clown diversity then lie about how you aren't a racist. Stop listening to Rush Limbaugh son, because you are all the way wrong.
You are correct. But without adultery you would never have seen gay marriage get a sniff. Frankly hetero marriage is hard work. And staying married while having children is becoming a sucker in today's climate. The costs to raise children are massive. We have promoted a do anything society for fifty years. The results are massive revenues needed for our ways of vice. A lot of government outlays are used to keep people alive with a roof over their head and food along with medical help. And the costs will keep on rising and rising until the system collapses. Just saying. The Bible tells people how they ph uk up. And we learned nothing from it. So if the worse ever happens and all help from government and pensions are cut in half will we still be bright eyed and bushy tailed about all of this? You may be optimist, but I am not.I understand what the bible says and that's exactly why I said what I did.

You don't know shit ...
Well, I do know that in my 5 weeks on USM so far, I've yet to post flagrant remarks to you.
skinny: Proceed with caution.
So when you learn more than that one sentence white racists use to defend their racism we can talk.
I invited you to talk about many sentences I have posted about Trump's several deeds which exclusively uplifted Black people. You have refused to.
I invited you to talk about links that you posted. But you refuse to. Then even when I start to list your link's issues here, one at a time to discuss --- your reply is that I should learn more than that one sentence white racists use to defend their racism
lol
I think you and I both can see the irrationality reeking here.
And you are incorrect, according to my posts. I cited more than a couple of instances, to deny false claims about Trump being a racist toward negros.
And when I see how you approached the truth about Trump and the HBCU funding ---with your article that abandon the facts from May 2017-today--- then I can't wait to see if you will ever show that you respect your own argument enough to discuss your claim about 150 racist judges appointed to federal benches and him Taking white supremacist groups off the terrorist watch list and him creating a category called black identity extremists that designates black protest groups as terrorists and him Gutting civil rights
You refuse to use logic re President Trump, but you make sure that you're using the Dem's playbook. And I really do hope you desire a discussion between us ---so I can expose that playboo, page by page, when it comes to veracity of Trump not being racist toward Negroid people.

Exactly.. But today's Dem party is NOWHERE NEAR the party of Kennedy... That was BEFORE your party invented the "cancel culture" tool... And all of those "old timey values" are now regressive baggage belonging only to "bible thumping, gun toting, racist" Repubs...;
Secular humanism is built on arrogance of man's ability to control morals and culture... In that sense, MOST LEADERS of the Dem party today ARE secular humanists and that is what matters...
The HUMILITY and non violence of Dr King is DERIVED from the humility of religious faith. That died with the Anti-Facist Facists that roam the streets *whose streets -- OUR streets" and the "cops are pigs -- fry them like bacon" crowd...
HUMILITY is one of things that Dr King understood.. And most EVERY Civil movement in history that has ever produced fruit was at its core "faith based"...
Maybe YOU should "shut up about Dr. King" until you understand that YOUR politics and the party you worship TODAY would be ALIEN to him.....
No he wouldn't.
MLK would have opposed most EVERYTHING the Democrats have been doing for years! He was about unity and people coming together, not rank partisanship and perpetually sewing the seeds of division and hate for pure political gain.
Your definition of secular humanism is exactly what republicans are doing and what they stand for
You have humility and docility confused. King was about non violent DIRECT ACTION. Not quiet passivity.
Yes actually, you are part correct. It was not the world-famous MLKJr.Mlk got a pay load from the left to switch ideology.. so it would depend who was paying more
trump has not uplifted black people. You don't seem to understand that...
The religious part of that is a joke. They are trying to get people to fill the courts with conservatives in order toYour definition of secular humanism is exactly what republicans are doing and what they stand for
The "religious right" Repubs are secular?? You know the definition of secular or humanism??? I'm outta here. Enjoy your fantasies....
Yes actually, you are part correct. It was not the world-famous MLKJr.Mlk got a pay load from the left to switch ideology.. so it would depend who was paying more
It was his dad. MLKSr.
Yes. He's the culprit who turned Black America over, to the Dems, about a year prior to the 1960 Presidential election ---after several meetings with RFK and a few meetings with JFK.
trump has not uplifted black people. You don't seem to understand that...
You can't erase history and its facts, is what you clearly do not understand.
Altho ... You do seem to understand that you can run here to say Trump is racist, all you want, but his deeds I listed are going to remain real life plus they will continue to verify that he can't possibly be racist ---in order to go risking his reputation among legion of White Supremacists that way.
I listed several acts by Trump, recently, that uplifted Black citizens ---and then you posted no facts/no evidence to dispute any of them.
So yeah, sure, you can sit here playing pretend about your irrelevant, emotions-based reply to my list of those 7-8 recent Trump deeds. Deeds that sent a msg of love to Black America. Your reservoir was empty, you had no fact-based ammo to counter any of those acts I listed from Trump. And the list is longer, I simply just refused to flood you with proofs ---until I can see the real you.
Now, I see.
So I'll leave you be, on this issue, at least until you start to show that you have some respect for your own opinion ---which might be exactly why you continue to circumvent addressing where you were asked about discussing those links you posted. Yes sir. You see what I did to your first link, from May 2017, therefore it makes total sense if you do not want to risk it/me shining a veracious spotlight on your other links there.
... Good riddance.
... First off, King was no republican. Second, the republican party has never been the friend of blacks...
In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Brown v. Board of Education that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. Many southern political leaders claimed the desegregation decision violated the rights of states to manage their systems of public education, and they responded with defiance, legal challenges, delays, or token compliance. As a result, school desegregation proceeded very slowly. By the end of the 1950s, fewer than 10 percent of black children in the South were attending integrated schools.
The pace of civil rights protests rose sharply in response to the Supreme Court's decision. Martin Luther King Jr. led a boycott that ended segregated busing in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1957, National Guard troops under orders from President Dwight D. Eisenhower enforced the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas. But, even after Little Rock, school integration was painfully slow, and segregation in general remained largely untouched.
In February 1960, four black college students sat down at a Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, and asked to be served. They were refused service, and they refused to leave their seats. Within days, more than 50 students had volunteered to continue the sit-in, and within weeks the movement had spread to other college campuses. Sit‑ins and other protests swept across the South in early 1960, touching more than 65 cities in 12 states. Roughly 50,000 young people joined the protests that year.
The Election of 1960
By the 1960 presidential campaign, civil rights had emerged as a crucial issue. Just a few weeks before the election, Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested while leading a protest in Atlanta, Georgia. John Kennedy phoned his wife, Coretta Scott King to express his concern, while a call from Robert Kennedy to the judge helped secure her husband's safe release. The Kennedys' personal intervention led to a public endorsement by Martin Luther King Sr., the influential father of the civil rights leader.
Across the nation, more than 70 percent of African Americans voted for Kennedy, and these votes provided the winning edge in several key states. When President Kennedy took office in January 1961, African Americans had high expectations for the new administration.
But Kennedy's narrow election victory and small working margin in Congress left him cautious. He was reluctant to lose southern support for legislation on many fronts by pushing too hard on civil rights legislation. Instead, he appointed unprecedented numbers of African Americans to high-level positions in the administration and strengthened the Civil Rights Commission. He spoke out in favor of school desegregation, praised a number of cities for integrating their schools, and put Vice President Lyndon Johnson in charge of the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity. Attorney General Robert Kennedy turned his attention to voting rights, initiating five times the number of suits brought during the previous administration.

ahhhhh, I can see that once again, you have a huuuuge problem with accepting the facts ---wherever you cannot fleece them.
Nope, you cannot change the facts about how Black America voted prior to 1960: Why Did Black Voters Flee The Republican Party In The 1960s?
And you can't change history, of how the Black Vote was delivered to JFK by MLK Sr:

I'm not going to argue with someone white trying to tell me how we used to vote because they read something. I'm black, I know when, how and why blacks left the republican party. I know why we are not republicans now and probably won't be for the foreseeable future. I know that King was not republican and certainly would not be republican now.
When whites like you end their paternalism the end of racism will not be far behind.
I think you're chewing on Ebola flavored propaganda there.. Seriously doubting the accuracy of that quote or it's timing...
