Dr Martin Luther King saved this country

[JWBooth]

The annual resurrection of this horseshit.

 

[Lastamender]

Now, more than ever we see the impact of Dr King
With Trump erasing individual freedom , we need him more than ever

How is Trump erasing individual freedom? A pretty dumb thing to say even for you.

And if Dr. King was having an impact we would not have racist Black people in the numbers that we do. Content of character and all that.

 

[Rawley]

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

Agreed. Which is why we find it so disappointing that your party has so completely embraced DEI, which is the antithesis of his aspirations in his "I have a dream" speech.

I did not vote for him, but, I am curious...

How has Trump erased individual freedom? ...past, present or future?

A girls or women’s right to privacy.

We’ve explained it to you a number of times, but you still don’t seem to understand, so why bother?

A girls or women’s right to privacy.

Women have a right not to be leered at by perverted men in their most intimate settings.

Do children really have to have the freedom to look at tranny smut? Or to have their nads lopped off, if they decide to change genders?

I'm more concerned about the rights of African American to smoke newports, something that Sleepy Joe is trying to eliminate.

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

Have you ever read the Fifth Amendment ?


Our Founding Fathers created a country wherein our our rights to life , property and Liberty were protected by law. . Wherein we could used fireams to protect the same . Isn't that showing R-E-S-P-E-C-T ?

Re-write the eulogy to show that MLK Jr supplemented our Founding Fathers' effort.

And yet you, and all your liberal fellow travelers, are the antithesis of MLK Jr.

How?

 

[Kondor3]

A girls or women’s right to privacy.

Trump has violated or limited a girl's or woman's right to privacy? How so?

 

[rightwinger]

How is Trump erasing individual freedom?

Trump has in his sights the rights of LGBTQ, migrants. He spreads lies to raise hatred of those groups. Affirmative Action has been erased under Trump.
Trump opposes diversity and inclusion in our society.

Dr King would be outraged

Trump has attacked parents rights to decide the medical treatment of their children

So, they do have a right of privacy, Jim

What rights has he taken from any of those groups. Bring credible links because you are a well known liar.

 

[Hollie]

We’ve explained it to you a number of times, but you still don’t seem to understand, so why bother?

You presume to speak on behalf of some collective "we", yet you fail, as usual, to offer any coherent argument.

Typically Socialist Demon Rats are schizophrenic - so "we" refers to the voices in their heads

Sorry Skippy
But your rights to demand links on this board have been suspended.
You just call them fake anyway and demand more.

Fool me once….
