Dr Martin Luther King saved this country

[rightwinger]

MLK was a black, southern, baptist preacher..........he was as conservative as they go, you dipshit....

MLK supported Civil Rights, affirmative action, distribution of wealth, universal healthcare

Sounds conservative to me

MLK forced whites to look in the mirror and decide who you were going to side with.

The Southern Jim Crow leaders played into his hands.
Blacks are marching……Ignore them
A white person murders a black leader…..hold them accountable
A White mob engages in terrorism….make them pay

But they made it so no reasonable person could support them

No.....television did that......

Before television, no one really understood how violent and racist democrats actually were in the South...not something people even thought about in anyway......the television reports showing democrats using fire hoses, police dogs, night sticks against peaceful marchers is what showed white Americans what the democrats were actually doing.....so they voted to stop the democrats.

 

[Redfish]

Affirmative Action opened up opportunities to those who were not White males
Republicans have attacked Medicaid, SNAP, child care, Obamacare
Republicans voted to take away the healthcare of 40 million Americans

MLK did not care about Ukraine

The left has abandoned the teachings and beliefs of MLK. AA discriminates based or skin color and ethnicity, that is constitutionally illegal. Wanting to have medical programs fiscally responsible and accountable does not equate to removing them.

which 40 million americans did they vote to take healthcare from? Illegals are not americans.

your insane ramblings are humerous at best and idiotic at worst. You are a brainwashed moron, exactly the kind of voter the dems want.

 

[Dragonlady]

Conservatives also try to claim ownership of the legacy of Martin Luther King and that he espoused their values

I know!!! They reviled King when he was living. The FBI was investigating him for "unAmerican activities". The GOP was smearing him with allegations that he was having affairs.

They do the same thing with JFK. Republicans HATED JFK. With a white hot passion. They blamed him for the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and the Cuban missile crisis. They distrusted him because he was Catholic. Now they claim he would be a Republican if he were alive today.

Revisionist history at its finest.

It was SOUTHERN politicians of both parties. Your revisionism of history is just full on bullshit. SOME southern Democrats in both the House and Senate voted in favour of the Civil Rights Act, but not one Southern Republican in either House voted for the Civil Rights Act, so don't try to claim any moral high ground on racism here, oh brainless one.

When you try to blame Democrats for racism, you lose ALL credibility. Not that you have much to begin with.

No.....Bobby Kennedy was spying on King.....a democrat murdered King....

His policies on taxes and fighting communists would make him lean republican not democrat, you dumb ass......

No, it was democrats who controlled the south, you dumb ass.... the majority of, and the leadership of the democrat party both at the state and federal level, including Al Gore's dad, fought the Civil Rights acts and movement....

The democrat party as a whole, the majority of that party fought the Civil Rights acts......so sell that bullshit to biden voters.

MLK Jr.'s dream is FAR from being achieved.

MLK made it clear he supported Affirmative Action

Republicans voted to repeal Obamacare without a replacement. 40 million would be left without coverage. That is why McCain voted No

The Democratic Party was formed in 1830. Slavery and the subjugation of blacks existed in the American South since the 1600s

The fact that Whigs in the South converted to the Democratic Party had no impact on the institution of slavery

Do you support Affirmative Action for yourself, RW?

If you need professional services, do you seek a provider based on their qualifications- or based upon the color of their skin?

If you had problems with your butt, would you consult a proctologist who really knows his shit, or someone who doesn't know your butt from a hole in the ground but got his qualifications through a quota system?

 

[initforme]

Imagine the ignorance that existed. Slavery. Thinking different races getting married was bad. Where did such anti Christian backward beliefs come from?

Yes I do

I have seen the impacts of Affirmative Action in my lifetime.
In the 60s and 70s women were confined to the roles of secretaries, nurses, elementary teachers. Blacks were primarily offered menial labor.
White collar positions, management, Doctors, airline pilots, police officers were primarily reserved for white males.

Yes, we are better off

None of that has anything to do with affirmative action quotas. In fact, affirmative actions actually hurts those blacks getting into professions like law and medicine. A lot of prospective clients and patients assume they didn't get the job because of their merits, but because of their ethnicity. They have to prove themselves more than those who are not the "beneficiaries" of AA.

Sure, it helps Incompetent blacks who don't know excrement from shoe polish, but it doesn't help the competent at all.

Further, we are talking about black people, not broads.

Affirmative action is much more than quotas, it is about opportunity

Right. Its about taking opportunity away from poor honkies and giving it to middle class black people, in the interest of pandering to minorities.

I know….The poor, poor white guys don’t get EVERY good paying job reserved for them

When white males got all the high paying jobs…..was that pandering?

King was likely a philanderer. He was surely a communist. MLK was nothing but a sellout. He sold freedoms for gov money. It's no wonder Malcolm X is ignored/downplayed by schools and academics.

 

[odanny]

Dr. King is largely one of the most unknown (by design) Americans who brought foundational change to this country.

Any guesses why his contributions remain overlooked today, over 50 years after his murder?

Anyone?
