Dr Martin Luther King saved this country

[iamwhatiseem]

Cabrini Green housing complex, Democrats considered it to be a model of "Democratic urban living".
Almost immediately problems began, in reality the only interest the city officials had was how much they could pat each other on the back for being so awesome. Virtue signaling is not new.
By the 1970's over 20,000 people were packed in like sardines in less than one square mile.
City officials long abandoned it, never fixed problems, and somehow never thought that 20,000 people with no jobs was not going to be a problem.

What did Republicans offer as an alternative?

Yes...absolutely!! It's the Republicans fault for not stopping the Democrats from utterly destroying the black race in this country for 4 generations!

Selma, 1965

John Lewis led a protest march over the Edmund Pettus Bridge on a march to Birmingham protesting for the right to vote

When confronted by police, protesters knelt in prayer and were attacked by State Police

John Lewis was beaten savagely with a club

Imagine if blacks had countered force with force?

 

[iamwhatiseem]

And furthermore, it hardly mattered what the Republicans put forth, nothing was going to beat the Democrat's plan.
Come one, come all!! - Free cash! Free food! ... no need to work!! Just agree to live away from us in overcrowded slums!! Agree to stay out of our schools!!

Conservatives hated Dr King when he was alive

They obviously still hate him now

Oh for the love of God RW, - WHITE people hated MLK.
Do you only come here to engage the rock throwing contest?
You realize that people like you, both sides, is the precise reason nothing is getting better in Washington?
Only Democrats can solve their own issues, and only Republicans can solve theirs. All of this useless rock throwing is nothing more than a colossal waste of time.

Totally ridiculous post

To Southern Conservatives, the only response to Civil Rights was to lock up its leaders

 

[rightwinger]

John Lewis also participated in lunch counter demonstrations and was arrested

How many could put up with this type of abuse without fighting back?

 

[Scamp]

So that's why 50 years later...crimes of interracial violence that involved blacks and whites, blacks are the perpetrators 85 percent of the time?

Sadly, we have another Civil Rights Patriot in poor health

John Lewis

Dude, you're just trolling now.
It is an insult to MLK and all TRUE civil rights fighters to filth up this thread with this piece of garbage.
It wouldn't be hard to quote at least 50 lines from MLK speeches/writings that is categorically the opposite of this crook

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.

Laughable since none of them were or would have considered being a republican.

 

[otto105]

Abraham Lincoln would be a Democratic pol today.

The 60's were a wild time. His assasination was just one of several.

Some insanity prevailed. But the bottom line was the government pushed at the people, but the people pushed back.

Strange times indeed.

You are missed tinydancer.

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

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 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.

Note I said it was the whites who created the environment (ie demand) for them to be enslaved. No demand, no need to supply. Simple.

Again, you think they didn't have slavery before whitey? or the Aztecs or any of these native people......what planet are you from?

Abraham Lincoln would be a Democratic pol today.

No not really, I don't think he's go for buttsex all the time, 75 genders, massive federal government and being a pussy on the world stage....nah...

There are reports of Lincoln being gay. And he sent 300,000 soldiers to their deaths fighting for imperial subjugation over states rights.

Lincoln preserved the Union and turned a bunch of united states into the UNITED STATES

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.

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.

When FDR created the Fair Employment Practice Committee to address the rampant discrimination against blacks in employment -- why are blacks maligned for supporting that??

When FDR signed the GI Bill...why are blacks maligned for supporting that??

Just pointing out that the timing does not match the normal lib narrative.


Note my completely lack of maligning blacks, you raving loon.

Cool...now tell me what conservatives were there marching along side of King down in Selma

Conservatives are smart, we don't march and throw tantrums, we actually get shit done, like laws and stuff
Lots of conservatives supported the Civil Rights laws in the 40s and 50s, even the 64 bill, most were REPUBLICANS

Fact Check: ‘More Republicans Voted for the Civil Rights Act as a Percentage Than Democrats Did’

IT has been this way, in fact the republicans never voted for jim crow laws. The whole premise of you democrats is the big switch lie...which I have destroyed in these forums.....because it's a HUGE lie.
