"Americans are honoring the memory of slain civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today. MLK Day is a federal holiday, though it was not made official until 18 years after his assassination."

MLK pictured above with well known conservative Republicans: John Lewis, Ralph Abernathy, and Ralph Bunche. In fact, most of the time you see MLK putting his life on the line, marching thru-out the Jim Crow south -- he is always accompanied by famous longtime conservatives like James Baldwin, Harry Belafonte, Rabbi Israel Dresner, Viola Luizzo, Bayard Rustin, you know -- all of the household names among Conservatism...

In other words, today is that time of year again when most Conservatives all over the country' twist themselves into pretzels to try to pretend that their side of the political spectrum were not, have not and continue to be against every emancipation effort made by virtually every historically oppressed minority group in this country......Enjoy

Back in the day, if you'll remember, libs hate Doctor King.

The Kennedy Justice Department under RFK tapped his phones and had him under surveillance.

MLK represented the conservative blacks, the liberal blacks were Eldridge Cleaver, Rap Brown and Stokely Carmichael.
 
One dead commie and the country gets a day off work.

What's not to like?
 
MLK was assassinated over 50 years ago. He has been dead for over 50 years. In fact, you don't get much more dead than Martin Luther King. There have always been some people on the sidelines who have not been happy with MLK. He didn't even make it to see age 40.

This man would have called out whatever party that was in power making decisions because he was very much pro people. He didn't appear to support either party when he was alive. I'm not sure why the hell he would support either party now.

I can’t see MLK supporting the policies and speech of today’s Republicans

He's dead, rightwinger. I believe that this man would be horrified that he was being used as a political tool whose purpose is to sow division for political parties and ideologies.

I can almost guarantee that the same people triggered by MLK's statement back then are still triggered by it now.....

Now tell me; which party more closely aligns with the policies MLK fought for 50 years ago?

Labor Rights.....
Expanding Voting Rights protections instead of suppressing them
Reforming Capitalism with Targeted Socialist policies aimed at the least powerful and most disenfranchised??

There is a reason Conservatives ALWAYS AVOID talking about POLICIES when it comes to this topic......because then they would have to admit that when it came to policies; it is crystal clear who MLK has ALWAYS been in more alignment with......

Which is why conservatives back then said the same shit about MLK and the policies he advocated for that they say about anyone who advocates for those same policies now...
