MLK is a true Hero, but today's Left is Anti-Civil Rights.

[TroglocratsRdumb]

I have always been a 100% supporter of Civil Rights.

We can't have different laws for different people.

Our Civil Rights laws are based upon the 14th Amendment "equal protection" clause.

However the Left has degenerated the Civil Rights Movement into racial politics.

The Left has gone all the way to the Supreme Court several times to deny people college admission and employment based upon their skin color.

"Left is anti civil rights"...Yet the "left" doesn't rule this nation.. The dems and repubs are also anti civil rights.....They both support the denial of the 4th amendment which allows citizens the right to due process in the case of asset forfeiture.. The cops we pay for with our taxes, those socialist leeches also raid innocent civilians of their possessions without due process...They are worse than a common sneak thief and therefore have a position of low esteem in the community...

Although he went too far in some paragraphs (such as when he compared U.S. bombing in Vietnam to Nazi Germany's tortures in concentration camps), King's famous 1967 speech against the Vietnam War is an excellent overview of how we bungled Vietnam after WW II:
