HardlyFair enough but do Affirmative Action programs in 2017 need to be on the same level as 1965?I don't claim his as my own. He would be rolling in his grave if he knew how those that claim to follow what he said actually did things. He said he wanted people to be judged by the content of their character not by their skin. Sad part is those that claim to follow him support programs that emphasize skin color when the content doesn't match up.
Yet MLK supported affirmative action programs because he knew our society needed them
I was in the workforce in the early 70's
Affirmative action is nowhere close today to what it was when I started working
It's worse.
Affirmative action was much more numerical at the time and there was much more resistance. Most companies automatically comply today...it is a no brainer
Actually, you can do bothAmen
Here comes the republicans to claim him as one of their own, happens every year.

He knew his people needed them. Sad part is he preached content of character but, according to you, he supported color of skin.
Black people were not being hired on the basis of the color of their skin. They were also not being considered for certain occupations because black people were not suited for those jobs.
Affirmative acton took care of the latter
Once again you totally miss Dr Kings quoteActually, you can do bothAmen

Not according to King. He said judged by the content of their character NOT by then color of their skin.
If not hiring on the basis of skin color was wrong, using skin color to benefit is just as wrong. Hypocrite.

He never said you do not help people who need help
Affirmative action was definitely needed and Dr King advocated for it. You could pass all the laws you want, but racist employers were not going to hire minorities unless they were forced to

Then he was a liar being that he said he wanted people judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin. If he supported AA, he supported the latter.
It's a disgrace that a day is set aside for him.
He was an impressive man but to say he saved the country is a bit of an overstatement.

Why must conservatives always take things literally?
They are incapable of considering context
Every country has ugly stuff in it's past I have never pretened America was perfect nor will I pretend one person alone solved our problems MLK was an important figure in the fight for equality but it did not begin with him there were many others leading up to him without them he couldn't have been the man he was and did the things he did.He was an impressive man but to say he saved the country is a bit of an overstatement.
He saved us from ourselves
Are you proud of being a country that officially established second class citizens?

Dr King would be appalled at a country that could elect Donald Trump
I wouldn't go that far
THe rampant illegitimacy, the high crime rate, the poor education numbers, ect. ect ect. is an embarrassment to the nation, and to the memory of MLK.
If you would have asked him to describe the state of black american 2017, it would NOT be like it is today.
We have a black President, black CEOs, black managers in sports, black astronauts increased black participation in all fields of our economy. Blacks and whites can marry, neighborhoods and schools are desegregated
I think he would be quite pleased
In terms of the plight of blacks in our inner cities, I think he would place the blame someplace other than you think

In terms of the plight o blacks in our inner cities, I think he would blame the same people that had to be kicking and screaming to the table on integration and equal rights. Some refer to this as the 200 year plan. MLK would also see in play what Booker T. Washington warned us.
“And one day we must ask the question, ‘Why are there forty million poor people in America? And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth.’ When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I’m simply saying that more and more, we’ve got to begin to ask questions about the whole society…” Martin Luther King –Speechto Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967.

More Blacks and other Minorities voted for Trump than they did Romney or McCain so I think Dr. King would find that interesting.
Since MLK said that in 1967, we embraced supply side economics which made the distribution of wealth even worseI wouldn't go that far

And we tried your way for 50 years. And it has been an utter failure.
