Jan 15 is MLK day. Why do we honor a white-hating racist?

[deanrd]

Since MLK said to judge a person by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin, anybody who followed these words would be AGAINST affirmative action.

He advocated for equal rights, and not for the special privileges we see today.

He was a Republican.

Dr. Alveda C. King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., affirms that her uncle was a Republican during his lifetime.

That is an old long discredited bit of Fake News
Our state partners have spotted a popular Republican talking point: the claim that Martin Luther King Jr. was a member of the GOP.

We heard it in Texas, then Tennessee and now Rhode Island.




See related rulings
To check it out, we checked with King biographers, including Pulitzer Prize winner David Garrow, and found that King avoided partisan identification. "It's simply incorrect to call Dr. King a Republican," Garrow told PolitiFact Texas.

We rated the claim False.

Martin Luther King, Jr. And The Republican Party | Republican Views
The fact that the political ideals of the Republican Party were more closely aligned with King’s than those of the Democrats is supported by the politicians of Georgia during King’s time. Fletcher Thompson, who represented the Atlanta area in Congress from 1966-72, explained, “Most of the blacks in the late 1950s and at least up to 1960 were Republican. Our party was sympathetic to them and the Democrats were the ones enforcing ‘Jim Crow’ laws and segregation.” Others have noted that King seemed to support the creation of new voters for the Republican Party. New York Times political reporter Tom Wicker noted that, as the 1960 election approached, “the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. had volunteered to lead a voter registration drive among blacks, which King thought would produce many new Republican voters.” Much of the media at the time speculated on this issue as well, with The Reporter Magazine stating “It is open secret among many Negroes that the Rev. Martin Luther King,

But things change.

Republicans, under Lincoln were called Yankees and Northerners.

Democrats were called Confederates and Dixicrats.

Because the Republican Party was a northern based party.

And the Democrats were based in the Deep South.

Then the 1960's happened.

Now, the Republicans are based in the Deep South. They are called Confederates. The GOP is 90% white. The KKK, the Aryan Nation, white nationalists, the Alt White and the American Nazi Party all identify with Republicans.

The Democrats are a Northern Party. They are called Yankees. They are a coalition party.

Them's just the facts. Things have changed and now we see the change.

Put Political Strife Out to Pasture
By Dr. Alveda C. King

I have few regrets in my life. At the top of the list is the demise of two children in my womb, and one miscarriage. Next to that, I regret having said to a group of peers that my Uncle M. L. (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) was a Republican. I said that without having all the facts.

My grandfather, Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. was a registered Republican. Uncle M. L. was an independent, who in his own words tended to vote Democrat. I assumed that since granddaddy was a Republican, Uncle M. L. was too. After all, before the election of President John F. Kennedy, the majority of African-American voters were Republicans.​

She's been given that like five times. Watch her post it yet again as if it never happened, expecting different results.

From the rest of Alveda King's narrative:

>> The truth of the matter is that God isn’t a Republican or a Democrat or a tea party voter. God doesn’t vote. The squabbling and division among the parties is tragic.

.... Uncle M. L. followed a pattern of not publicly endorsing a U.S. political party or candidate. He wrote: "I feel someone must remain in the position of non-alignment, so that he can look objectively at both parties and be the conscience of both — not the servant or master of either." <<
​

So here's a poster trying to use Alveda King as a credible source, while simultaneously disregarding King's warning about partisanship, desperate to claim MLK for her "team", oblivious to the sage advice about doing just that --- from her own source.

Hard to believe.

You guys are the only ones who keep posting a response to it. I only posted it 2 times and then moved on and posted speeches of MLK you are the ones who keep going on and on about it. LOL

MLK was an alcoholic whoremaster and a plagiarist.

And Republicans wonder why African Americans don't vote for them.....

I say it was more in line with blacks being stupid and gullible.

Well statements like yours and Tipsy are pretty much the reason why African Americans are informed voters when they vote against Republicans.

You are a fool as well. Democrats have done nothing for blacks and here you wanna keep them on the plantation!

Hmmmmm speaking of fools......you are the fool who imagines that blacks are all working on some plantation.

And wondering why they avoid your political party like well- like they would avoid a party of asshole racists.

 

[Syriusly]

Scores of us have already set you straight on myriad bullshittery since you got here --- why don't you listen?

You can lead a horse to wisdom but you can't make it think. That's why.

I prefer no myriad bullshittery. That's why I haven't listened.

in other words, you prefer your mind uncluttered by the facts.

Yes, uncluttered by the facts is 100% better than be cluttered by bullshit.

Well I think it is brave of you to admit your mind is not cluttered with facts.

Blacks are an integral part of the Democratic Party. The last president, the last Attorney General, the National Security adviser and more, from the Democratic Party were black.

The GOP doesn't understand because they are 90% white. The 10% of the GOP that isn't white have no power in that party. They are trophies. A couple of blacks, a couple of Native Americans, a few Asians, some of this, a couple of that. The power in the GOP is the 90% that are white.

But the Democrats are a coalition. There is no group that controls other groups. Black Democrats have their own leadership, so do Hispanic Democrats, white Democrats and so on. All the groups work together and have their own base.

Two quick clarifications. Neither the Confederacy nor the Klan had a political party. Some of the above is applied with a fatally broad brush.

In truth both Republicans and Democrats populate throughout the country. And one might add Republicans are not called "Confederates". Confederates, like Progressives, populate only the past. And Dixiecrats were much later, specifically 1948.
