Dr Martin Luther King saved this country

[rightwinger]

What does everyone think of what Jackie thought.

I actually watched it

What did she say that was so bad about MLK?

 

[Jitss617]

Yes, yes he did.

Up until people like you stopped practicing his philosophies.

Such as:

"Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character."

What do you do? Shame white people for being white, make inferences on their character based on their skin color... all these things MLK fought so hard against, you are putting into practice.

Please don't bandy about his name and act as if you're doing anything he taught.

I judge people by the content of their character

I just don’t believe most conservatives have much character

I’ll take Texas Wyoming over Chicago Baltimore Detroit St. Louis Camden lol San Francisco Oakland.. I can go on if you like

Wyoming is a beautiful state but lacks basic public services

Texas?
I’ll take any of those cities over Texas any day

And you think rat infested black neighborhoods run by democrats is a public service lol you racist fcuk lol

I have been to every one of those cities
Great restaurants, nightlife, parks, recreation, national landmarks
People actually choose to visit

I have spent months in Texas........Hellhole (except for Austin)

Blacks are actually crying Of racial oppression, did you just step over them? Driver avoid the black areas! Lol haha

so you enjoy the elitist democrat neighborhoods typical

Sadly, we have another Civil Rights Patriot in poor health

John Lewis

Hope the cocksucker dies. Fuck him!

That really was uncalled for. Just because he doesn't hold your point of view doesn't mean you should wish death on him.

This is what political hatred has driven us to...

No it was not. What he done with regards to voting rights and the Selma Bridge march was admirable and would have been by his side. After he became a politician he turned into a complete racist shit bag. Fuck him.

What has Lewis done that you oppose?

I grew up in the 60's and saw most of the Civil Rights movement. Like most Americans, I was outraged at the assasination of Dr King. When we talked about giving him a national holiday ten years later, I looked at it as a form of appeasement for outraged blacks.....a way of giving them their own holiday to quiet them down.

In reading about the Civil Rights movement in subsequent years, I realized what a great American Dr King was. Black Americans came back after WWII to find that despite fighting and dying in defense of their country, they were still treated like lesser Americans. They found they were not allowed to mingle with whites, were not welcome in much of the country they had fought for. Blacks were considered to be dirty, diseased and sub human. Some whites were outraged at the thought of eating with blacks, using the same restrooms, riding on public transportation with them.

As black Americans began to protest their treatment in their own country they were met with harsh resistance from both white militants and governments who swore to support inequal treatment. Blacks were denied the right to vote, to freely associate, rights to a fair trial. Those who resisted were met with terrorist attacks. Lynchings, bombings, arrest and assasination of their leaders.

Most of us faced with such horrific treatment in our own homeland would fight violence with violence. How would you react if someone spat on your child for trying to go to school?

When the courts did not protect blacks, armed conflict would seem a reasonable response. Dr King knew violence would only result in more violence against you. He modeled the Civil Rights movement around Gandhis peaceful resistance theories. By using cameras to document the treatment of peaceful protestors he saved this country from an armed violent protest that would have destroyed this country.


America returned from WWII as an economic and military superpower. But a country that does not treat its citizens with respect is not a moral superpower. By changing the way we treat our citizens, Dr King, more importantly, saved our soul. By forcing us to look in a mirror and see who we really are, he enabled us to become a truly great country.

On this Martin Luther King day I hope everyone can reflect on what a great American he was and how much better off we all are

Ralph. My Eyetalian immigrant grandparents suffered through some real racism in PA in the 1920's. Could we apologize to them on this thread? Or are they the wrong color?

600k mostly white people died for their freedom. Ever thank them? Their families deserve reparations too......Right?

Nope. Not in our classrooms.

Listen to this gem. I asked my little nephew over the holidays what he was learning in history. He told me that Andrew Jackson rounded up all the Injuns and killed them.

I said my God son. Unfortunately 1 of 4 Injuns died on their free trip. President Jackson was enforcing the legislation passed in the Jefferson admin. The Bill informed the Injuns to act like the white man or take a hike. It was enforced when the time was up.

I told him to tell his Socialist teacher she is an idiot. Well, I didn't say that.
Plus he thinks we are going to burn up soon in our hot house. Kids today would be better off with no schooling.

When Trump wins 20-30% of the black vote, we'll see racism and screaming like when we took their slaves away.

Well, considering it was the whites who created the environment for them to be enslaved in the first place...

No to reparations. That's a whole can of worms right there.

That man's terrible?? I think she wasn't happy about his frequent orgies with under aged girls.

Personally I thought he was a good man. But they sure didn't listen really good to his advice..

That falls on the Black Tribal Leaders for enslaving and selling their own people. You don't believe it was done like Roots do you? The fault lies on both sides, not 1.

 

[rightwinger]

Too bad MLK's non violence philosophy didnt catch on much among Blacks.

Would whites have endured second class citizenship, denial of the vote, a criminal law system that abused them, lynchings, bombings, terror attacks and social and economic exclusion without resorting to violence?

What a joke.

Thomas Sowell has done a good job of proving that if blacks had been allowed to assimilate as other groups had...they would not have the issues they have today.

Of course, being black himself, Sowell was instantly branded an Uncle Tom.

Assimilate??

Exactly how does a black person assimilate in your mind??

Like what does an assimilated black person look like?

I'll wait

Assimilation was the Booker T Washington choice. Unfortunately most blacks went with WEB Dubois.


Assimilation isn't the proper term here, more like working within the system and trying to better yourself

instead of that, they went to grievance politics, which are never sated......no matter how good you have it, it's never enough.

Blacks have the best economy they have ever fully participated in (for you lefties, this means post democrat Jim Crow laws)

Blacks have now been President, Atty General, Sec of State, Governors, Mayors, police chiefs, and many other gov offices
They have started successful businesses (Robert Johnson of BET)
and they have been hired as CEOs as well (Robert Parsons of Time Warner)


yet you dipshits still insist there is some institutional racism that holds them back. Ironically it's THAT thought (of making excuses to the point that people aligned with you (aka leftwingers) call hardwork, code for white supremacy, I'm not joking)

The blacks that try and not whine, do well, those that do are either pols using it to gain power or people who fail in life. Again anyone with that thought process no matter the race will fail in life

America’s blacks “went along with” working with the system for 100 years waiting for equal treatment under the law.

They could have resorted to armed revolt like our founders did, but chose peaceful resistance instead.....
.
That is how Dr King saved this country

key word peaceful....no violent like WEB Dubois, black panthers, black lives matter and all their ilk.

And republicans didn't put up stupid laws to fuck them over...….so don't blame us.....

Oh so slavery only started with the rum trade in the 1600s? You really believe that? No point in talking to someone so ignorant


oh and that giving africans a pass for enslaving people, is that because you cant blame white supremacy for that too?

 

[buckeye45_73]

First nothing in my post mentioned that. So you're avoiding my point....#you're stuck on skin color bro.
If you want to discuss his party affiliation, start a new thread, but you're too much of a pussy to do that.

But IN THIS THREAD, answer my question.

I am responding to dic suckers like you who tried to claim he was a republican -- and I noticed your bitch ass didn't say anything to them about starting their own thread....but the minute facts start kicking you in the ass -- now you whine about skin color....

Was MLK talking about skin color in this quote??

View attachment 300728

WTF are you talking about? I didn't say anything about party, if you want that discussion, create a thread an ill smoke you in it..

As for skin color quote...……..if I have to tell you which one he made on it.....then you are beyond stupid.....please tell me you need a link to it

Since you claim it doesn't pertain to you, why did you hop your stupid ass into my comments??

You should have ignored it like you OBVIOUSLY ignored your fellow conservatives trying to claim MLK was a republican....

Most blacks when he gre up were republicans


other republican blacks:
Jesse Owens ( a guy that didn't boycott like a lefty, he was conservative and went to Germany and won, thus changing the world, a boycott is for pussies who cant hack it)
Jackie Robinson- Broke the baseball color barrier
Alveda King- MLK's niece IS a republican, and a Trump supporter.

There are tons….but republicans don't like socialism nor do they like violent political activism like the democrats do.
Republicans are not violet like the democrats and they don't try and suppress democrats, unlike democrats who always try to suppress republicans and conservatives.

Ok, whatever you need to tell yourself to feel better.....

I deal in facts, you deal in media bullshit...…..learn history and not from a transgendered communist.

By FDR, most blacks were Democrats

Way before the Dems embraced Civil Rights. Interesting. Almost like it has more to do with government social spending than civil rights.

Social security is one of the most popular and successful programs in US history...why are blacks maligned for supporting policies that benefit them?? but no one else is??

What? no one maligned them, he stated that is why they switched, social programs. Democrats bought votes, and were really racist, hmmmmmmmm, kind of like nothing has changed.

 

[buckeye45_73]

If MLK were alive today...he would know John Lewis...he wouldn't know you and he definitely wouldn't support the policies you CURRENTLY stand for..so fuk what you whining about

If MLK was alive today he would still be a republican.

If Kennedy and Truman were alive today they would be republicans.

He knows nothing.
MLK would be outraged and disgusted by the likes of Lewis who was very instrumental in creating the victim/dependent mentality.

MLK admired John Lewis

Lewis is an American Patriot, just like Dr King was

Uh huh...wore out your stirring stick yet today?

It is well documented how much Dr King admired John Lewis
For a young man in his 20s, Lewis took beatings, arrests, threats on his life........all in the name of Liberty and Freedom

He should be commended for that, who doesn't commend him for that?
The problem is he used that to defend a racist party and became an very partisan leftwing guy.

So just like the military industrial complex likes wars
the civil rights movement likes..................take a guess
