Democrats Commemorating a Black Republican

[bodecea]

yet they didn't invite the only sitting black senator...institutional racism? ....

What has that Senator done to earn such an invite? Or did they invite ALL Senators (except) for him) just because they were Senators?

 

[bodecea]

MLK WAS A REPUBLICAN.

In the 60s the democrats were racists hanging black guys.

The republican they should be commemorating is Archibald Carey who gave the I have a Dream speech at the 1952 repubblican convention. Then MLK stole it.

MLK Sr was.

In 1965 Lyndon Baines Johnson increased welfare and ushered in the great society. That's what caused blacks to become democrat and started the poison we have today.

Democrats just want to rewrite history.

And LBJ said that it will make "******* vote Democrat for the next 200 years".

50 down 150 to go.

.

Other than Zell Miller, those Democrats are all but gone from the Democratic Party of today.

Zell Miller is the only dimwit with any intelligence and moral charactrer, the rest are just a bunch of retarded idiots.

Yes he did. And he was a Texan...so that's not at all surprising, is it?

Yes, he did. And he was a typically racist, foul mouthed and condescending Democrat....so that's not at all surprising, is it?

Very nice to see Democrats commemorate a Black Republican and an event 50 years ago put together by Black Republicans. Finally!

MLK wasn't a Republican.

On the contrary, he called the GOP "racists".

You are a liar. But what the hey...........you're a newbie.

Link please?

"The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism. All people of goodwill viewed with alarm and concern the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right."Chapter 23 of King's autobiography

You have to put it in the context of the times. LBJ was raised in West Texas in the early 1900s. ******* is what they were called even in polite company

By 1965 when he made that statement, the term ****** was still openly used. I remember hearing it on TV. Two southerners talking about blacks called them *******, That is the way it was back then

In 1965 the "proper term" was negro or colored. Neither of which is proper today either

If LBJ was a racist he could have easily squashed the Civil Rights Act. Instead, it became one of his signature achievements

"There must be a better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism." - MLK

^ Now there's some 'publican meat to chew on.

That's the kind of statement that led so many people including Robert Kennedy, to believe that King was a communist. Who ordered J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI to investigated King? Hint. Kennedy was president and his brother was attorney general.

They spied on him after the 63 March because he was "the most powerful negro in the county."

The statement I quoted was made in 66, two years before he was assassinated.

You still want to claim him as a republican?

You can't change history. MLK was a republican. Maybe he would be a democrat today, but then he was a republican. He would not have been a member of the same party as Bull Connor, George Wallace and Grand Kleagel Robert Byrd.

Alveda King, founder of the faith-based group King for America. In the Sept. 14, 2008, video, she says: "I just want to share with you a little bit about my family and my history. My uncle Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during his lifetime was a Republican, as was my father, his brother, Rev. A. D. King, and my grandfather, Dr. Martin Luther King Sr."

Why bother. Some people are too thick for anything to get through.

So basically Alveda is calling her uncle a liar because MLK Jr said "I&#8217;m not inextricably bound to either party.&#8221;
"I&#8217;m not inextricably bound to either party."
That's right, MLK Jr was an Independent. But the Right has to always rewrite history, so no black can be an Independent if the Right says they are a Republican.

 

[Katzndogz]

MKL Jr. is NOT his father, or his grandfather or his uncle or even Aunt Arveda! MLK Jr. being an Independent does not change the facts. All it means is that HE is an independent.

Coretta Scott King has said he was not Republican
His Children have said he was not Republican
Those who served with him in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference said he was not Republican

Yet we need to take the word of his black sheep niece

There were "invitations"?

So, it's like 3rd grade and you're supposed to "invite" everyone to your birthday even the Special Ed spastics?

Sorry, Martin Luther King was an avowed communist.

And you can prove this by?????

In those days the majority of black people were republicans. The democrats were such hard core racists that a black democrat was impossible to find.
