Dr Martin Luther King saved this country

[Likkmee]

Why is it that Martin Luther King Boulevard is always in the bad part of town no matter where you go? : AskReddit

Because blacks are inferior....

NAH. Only constantly reminded that his efforts were a fail.

because of how inferior blacks are...look at the stats...

Can't wait for a brave conservative to do what needs to be done to the blacks....

Again, look at the stats....these blacks need to be dealt with....

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

A lot of people don't realize that MLK was a hardcore conservative, who faced a lot of opposition from Ultraliberal black separatists like Stokely Carmichael and H. Rap Brown back in the day. A registered Republican, the liberal JFK and LBJ administrations tapped his phones, much like the Obama administration tapped Trump's phones. MLK was denied his 2nd Amendment rights, even though he applied for a carry license.

Imagine if MLK had been armed in Memphis in 1968. When Mr. Ray fired at him, and MLK ducked and returned fire, history would have been changed forever.

The worse thing about MLK is how the libs have tried to hijack his legacy and claim he was one of them. Nothing could be further from the truth, there is no proof that Dr. King was anything but Normative.

Another dumb ass who has no idea who MLK was...

Please give me a single "hardcore conservative" MLK quote...

I'll wait....

MLK trashed ultraliberal police chief Bull Conner in his letter from the Birmingham Hoosegow. Further, not a word in the whole letter about dropping the soap in the shower, prison sodomy or any other Liberal cause. Definitely the voice of a Conservative, and that's why conservatives like Reagan celebrated his life so much, greatly extending the celebration of his birth.

So since we are in the business of making up shit now...maybe you can answer this question....

What prominent conservative was marching along side of MLK during the Civil Rights movement??

Sammy Davis Jr as well as the Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra were prominent conservatives who were big time supporters of Dr. King.

 

[rightwinger]

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.

MLK was a republican. Kennedy and Truman did not think or believe what the dems of today think and believe. Would a dem of today have dropped the bombs on Japan to end the war? Would any dem of today say "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"? No, they would not.

MLK supported JFK and later LBJ for President.

He avoided being partisan in most cases because he thought Civil Rights was non partisan

Sammy was an avid supporter of JFK and was crushed when JFK would not invite him to the inauguration because he had a white wife.

Sammy later supported Nixon and regretted it for the rest of his life

Sammy Davis Jr as well as the Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra were prominent conservatives who were big time supporters of Dr. King.

No, Sammy Davis was not a prominent conservative during the civil Rights era, no matter how much you try to rewrite history to claim it...

You may have been able to score yourself some points if you brought up the fact that Sammy Davis, Frank Sinatra and the rest of the rat pack appeared at the 1960 Democratic convention.....you could have brought up the fact that at that convention, Sammy Davis was booed by southern delegates at that convention....not because he was some sort of secret conservative, no...because he was married to a white woman....

50 years ago, Sammy Davis Jr at center of racial divide


But you can't claim someone is a prominent conservative if they supported the Democrat candidate in 1960 you moron....you could have also brought up the fact that at that time, Sammy Davis marrying a white woman would have been illegal in 31 states and it wasn't a conservative movement that struck down laws preventing interracial marriage...


But apparently you folks believe since he supported Nixon, a guy he genuinely liked -- suddenly he was a lifelong conservative?? I guess you missed the part about Davis expressing regret for supporting Nixon, accusing Nixon of making promises on civil rights that he did not keep -- he later went on to be a long time donor to Jesse Jackson's Push organization -- like most conservatives huh?

Reminds me of the interview Sammy Davis gave shortly before his death when a reporter asked him about attempts by folks like you and others to "pigeon hole" him as just being this or just being that.....

"Don't let 'em pigeonhole me, man, cuz I will not allow myself as a black individual to be pigeonholed," Davis says in his characteristic voice. "Be aware of your blackness, be conscious of it, and wear it – proudly."

From the Archive: Sammy Davis, Jr. on the Civil Rights Movement

I really suggest you folks stop trying to play this game with me, I am not the one.....try that BS with someone else......

actually he was.

WTF do you think the people or Hong Kong are rioting about today? They don't want to give up their successful capitalism and come under the thumb or Chinese socialism. Geez dude, are you really that dumb?

Again, why do you keep avoiding what King said??

why didn't you ask MLK, "what the fuck is democratic socialism"??

We already have democratic socialism you moron...

"distribution of wealth" ? who do you propose that we give the authority to distribute wealth to? The same people who run the VA? the same people who have put our country 20 trillion in debt?

the government already has that authority...that is how wealth has been redistributed to the top -- that is why 10% of the people own over half of the wealth......but you dic suckers don't mind that kind of government welfare....which brings me to another King quote

View attachment 301077

That same 10% pays 90% of the federal income taxes, and 50% pay nothing. If you want equality then everyone should pay the same tax rate.

How do you propose that the government redistribute the wealth? by taking it by force from those who have earned it and handing it to those who have done nothing? If thats your plan, then why would anyone work in your system? If your system is designed to punish success and reward failure, what kind of country do you think that will create? Please actually think before answering.

No, he was shot in Memphis after he gave a speech at the Mason Temple Church of Christ...

He was in Memphis in regards to his poor people's campaign, that involved economic boycotts, labor solidarity among the poor whites, blacks and Hispanics...solidarity is the greatest threat to any oppressive government or regime...that is why he was killed..because there is nothing you dic suckers fear most than solidarity against you and your bullshit racist ideology....

"Go out and tell your neighbors not to buy Coca-Cola in Memphis. Go by and tell them not to buy Sealtest milk. Tell them not to buy – what is the other bread? Wonder Bread.

WTF do you think the people or Hong Kong are rioting about today? They don't want to give up their successful capitalism and come under the thumb or Chinese socialism. Geez dude, are you really that dumb?

Again, why do you keep avoiding what King said??

why didn't you ask MLK, "what the fuck is democratic socialism"??

We already have democratic socialism you moron...

"distribution of wealth" ? who do you propose that we give the authority to distribute wealth to? The same people who run the VA? the same people who have put our country 20 trillion in debt?

the government already has that authority...that is how wealth has been redistributed to the top -- that is why 10% of the people own over half of the wealth......but you dic suckers don't mind that kind of government welfare....which brings me to another King quote

View attachment 301077

That same 10% pays 90% of the federal income taxes, and 50% pay nothing. If you want equality then everyone should pay the same tax rate.

How do you propose that the government redistribute the wealth? by taking it by force from those who have earned it and handing it to those who have done nothing? If thats your plan, then why would anyone work in your system? If your system is designed to punish success and reward failure, what kind of country do you think that will create? Please actually think before answering.

You know the idea of privatizing gains of the wealthy while privatizing the risks isn't working when even they start to admit how unsustainable it is....but you continue on with your wealth worship...

Hedge-fund billionaire Ray Dalio says capitalism needs urgent reform

I happen to agree that many CEOs are making obscene amounts of money and that the gap between the CEO and the people who do the work has gotten ridiculous in the last decade or so.

But the answer is not more government regulations or tax policy. The answer is to stop buying the products of those companies. I bet you have an apple phone running microsoft software, right? You just helped Gates and the Cook make billions, why are you doing that? I also bet that you envy those who have more than you do, drive better cars, take better vacations, and have bigger houses. Like all liberals, you do not live the life you want to force on everyone else. Are you happy that the Obama's live in a multi million $ mansion overlooking the ocean, or that Gore has a 20,000 sq ft home?

liberalism = hypocrisy. it is proven every day.

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

A lot of people don't realize that MLK was a hardcore conservative, who faced a lot of opposition from Ultraliberal black separatists like Stokely Carmichael and H. Rap Brown back in the day. A registered Republican, the liberal JFK and LBJ administrations tapped his phones, much like the Obama administration tapped Trump's phones. MLK was denied his 2nd Amendment rights, even though he applied for a carry license.

Imagine if MLK had been armed in Memphis in 1968. When Mr. Ray fired at him, and MLK ducked and returned fire, history would have been changed forever.

The worse thing about MLK is how the libs have tried to hijack his legacy and claim he was one of them. Nothing could be further from the truth, there is no proof that Dr. King was anything but Normative.

Another dumb ass who has no idea who MLK was...

Please give me a single "hardcore conservative" MLK quote...

I'll wait....

MLK trashed ultraliberal police chief Bull Conner in his letter from the Birmingham Hoosegow. Further, not a word in the whole letter about dropping the soap in the shower, prison sodomy or any other Liberal cause. Definitely the voice of a Conservative, and that's why conservatives like Reagan celebrated his life so much, greatly extending the celebration of his birth.

Yea, Bull Connor was ultra liberal...

I guess when history and facts aren't on your side....just simply make the shit up.....

Cool...

So since we are in the business of making up shit now...maybe you can answer this question....

What prominent conservative was marching along side of MLK during the Civil Rights movement??

Bull Conner was a democrat, thats the point, fool.

Democrat and liberal is not interchangeable you dumb ass.....but dic suckers like you have to play that game because facts aren't on your side....

Now...can you name me any prominent conservative who was marching along side of King??

 

[Redfish]

MLK was a republican. Kennedy and Truman did not think or believe what the dems of today think and believe. Would a dem of today have dropped the bombs on Japan to end the war? Would any dem of today say "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"? No, they would not.

No, he wasn't a republican.....

Can you tell me what republicans during the times of MLK's life were advocating for democratic socialism??

I'll wait....

mlk was a registered republican - Bing

His father was, not MLK Jr

this thread is about the MLK who was shot in Memphis after giving a great speech on the national mall. If you want to discuss his kids, start a new thread.

No, he was shot in Memphis after he gave a speech at the Mason Temple Church of Christ...

He was in Memphis in regards to his poor people's campaign, that involved economic boycotts, labor solidarity among the poor whites, blacks and Hispanics...solidarity is the greatest threat to any oppressive government or regime...that is why he was killed..because there is nothing you dic suckers fear most than solidarity against you and your bullshit racist ideology....

"Go out and tell your neighbors not to buy Coca-Cola in Memphis. Go by and tell them not to buy Sealtest milk. Tell them not to buy – what is the other bread? Wonder Bread. And what is the other bread company, Jesse? Tell them not to buy Hart's bread. As Jesse Jackson has said, up to now, only the garbage men have been feeling pain; now we must kind of redistribute the pain"

funny, solidarity is what made the USA the most successful country in history, and its that solidarity that you libs are trying to destroy. Why do you want to follow the example of Venezuela?

No, I don't have an Apple product...

But speaking of Apple and other large companies who have near industry monopolies....who do you think enabled them to have those monopolies?? Government...

and who are the main ones against anti-trust regulations?? Not liberals....

But I like how you claim CEO's make obscene amounts of money -- because when people like Bernie say it -- dic suckers like you attack him...which further lets me know you are full of shit

those terms are interchangeable today, they were not in the past but in the current dem party they are.

I don't remember all the people who marched with MLK, but I'll check it out and get back to you.

and your juvenile attempts at insults, (dic suckers) just verify that you are unable to support your left wing bullshit with facts and logic.

the difference is that I want to attack that gap through the free market and Bernie wants to attack it by nationalizing all industry.

but you continue to display your stupidity with coarse insults much like those heard on a 8th grade play ground.
