Thanks for proving me right.King would be a Republican today. He said people should be judged on the content of their character, not the color of their skin.nope...but typical of the Dems...you all fight against what the man stood for, and you do so for 100 plus years, you attack the man, you even kill then man...then after he dies, try to make it all ok by having the Federal Govt take the day off work..and pat yourselves on the back....sad.Reagan was a republican he signed it into law. I am not sure why people voted no but members from both parties voted no...not just members of the GOP. But overall the vast majority of both parties supported it's passage and Reagan made it Federal law by signing,How come republicans were the ones who voted against having a federal mlk day and black history month?what are you talking about? Nobody I know, or know who was alive then, wanted him dead.Considering he was a very religious man, a Southern Baptist Minister, that invoked God/Jesus and Christian values in his sermons and speeches on Civil Rights....I think we can assume he would not be welcome and likely attacked by the left todayThey don't....I know many that enjoy the day off work...then again I know many that are indifferent and stilly workOk so why are Republicans the ones who hate MLK day?Archie was a TV character...from the 70sI know so then how come it was people like me who supported the viet nam protests and Mohammad Ali and you guys back then hated meatheads like me?No you weren't....Republicans were Republicans back then....they still are.....you personally might have been then flipped to the darkside...I don't know...We were republicans back then. i Would have been a Lincoln republican northerner you’d be pro general lee pro slavery and against blacks marrying whites.I do too...and they rewrite history...to an absurd level.....but hey...the dems are here trying to claim they supported Civil Rights, opposed Jim Crowe and freed the slaves....it's rather comical....I love it when suddenly the racists are claiming they aren’t racist. Now they don’t openly admit to not hiring colors. Now they claim they gave the black guy a fair shot and he just unfortunately wasn’t the most qualified. Completely denying the obvious that bias is playing a factor.what did he say that was racist? I think you are projecting a little too much hereNot anymore. You guys carry the confederate flags and try to throw out black votes. Literally last year trump tried to throw out all the votes in wayne county. Aka Detroit.Really? Your party kept electing a KKK leader to the Senate until 2010.Do you understand something changed between now and then? You southerners who hated lincoln are today's republicans.Lincoln was a Republican, Stupid.It's laughable when they suggest they were the ones who freed the slaves or passed civil rights laws when today they are clearly the confederates who lynched blacks and defended Jim crow laws.huh? They freed the slaves, passed numerous Civil Rights legislation, not to mentioned created numerous bills the left blocked....moreover, tried, and in some cases, provided a economy to grow...and undid unjust laws targeting african-americans...such as Xiden 94 Crime Bill sentencingand there is the issue....dembots don't actually want to do something themselves to address the issues they bring up....they want other people to do it for them. They really are a whiny selfish bunchHell, we shouldn’t give blacks reperations for slavery we should give it to them for how we have treated them since slaveryI never said that. If you can show me one person that was a slave, I'd be happy to have reparitations paid to them....just like we did in 88 to the Japanese that were interred by FDR.I didn't I thought it was just and righthe even won reelection after doing it...Sure he did....he was elected to represent the nation...same as any other President....Harry Truman acted on behalf of the entire United States of America, which included every US Citizens, including African- Americans....
No, he didn't.
Agreed. I don't know what Unkotare is talking about.
My dad was in the pacific at the time. I am really glad they dropped the Bomb.
So was mine, and I'm glad FDR locked up a lot of them for awhile, too; it showed he was thinking about saving American lives. And, the Japanese are just as racist now as they were then, so only tards feel sorry for them now. They only got 'all patriotic n stuff' after getting locked up, not before.
So I know you had a shit fit when Reagan paid them reparations for being locked up.
So what was done to black folks in this country wasn't quite that bad, was it?
There is nothing stopping you from finding a deserving African American in your state and giving him all your money, or getting up off your ass and doing anything at all to help him in some way.
......and republicans ignore the issues and don't do a damn thing other than try and feed us some BS.
Give me a break. Civil rights bills were passed by regions North/South and it was a Democrat president that signed those bills into law. Also not ONE Republican opposed that crime bill or voted against it. What numerous bills? Since Trump lost look at the Jim Crow bills being passed by state Legislators trying to stifle the minority vote.
Dimwingers filibustered the Civil Rights Act...........including Biden's mentor and Owlgore's father.
Your party is the party of racists.
Your party is the party of racists. Own it.
The gop today are the white good old boys yesterday.
Its simple. Did us liberals want Rosa parks to sit at the back of the bus? No. It was people like you. Back then you were the democrats.
Moron....the democrats are the ones attacking Asian Americans.....the democrats are the ones pushing for segregated dorms, cafeterias, keeping Asians out of colleges and universities, it is the democrats who want skin color identified on products in grocery stores....the democrat party has been and still is the party of racism, violence and hate...
If that is the case then why does all of the racism always come from right wing, assholes like you.
When in a society as diverse as ours 90% of the executive boardroom is white males, something is wrong.
But notice now we have to prove you are a racist. Even though we know you are based on you policies, we have to prove it. Covert vs overt.
We don’t forget it was conservatives in the 60s who hated blacks and loved viet nam. Just like you demonize blm today you did it to Mohammad Ali and muslims back then.
hahaha....keep dreaming....Johnson and his Admin were Dems...Vietnam was their baby
In fact, he's the leading Republican at the time, in 1964..running against the Dems warmongers: "
"And no, we will not let our support today silence our basic criticism that the war in Vietnam -- and let's call it what it is, a war--that the war in Vietnam is being fought under policies that obscure our purposes, confuse our allies, particularly the Vietnamese and encourage the enemy to prolong the fighting.
We must, instead, prosecute the war in Vietnam with the object of ending it along with the threats to peace that it poses all over the world."
Was Archie biunker a democrat back then? Was meathead a republican?
Some people certianly dind't like the Nation of Islam back then, and still don't today....they are racist....and violent....Dr. King didn't like them...Malcolm X woke up to what they were and left them...for that they killed him
It was actually signed into law making it a Federal holiday by a Republican President.
But rather Govt offices are open or not, doesn't not mean one doesn't support Civil Rights for all Americans...many might suggest that after decades of Dem controlled Govt oppressing African-Amricans, means maybe Govt shouldn't be taking a day off of work..in fact just the opposite...maybe Govt should be worrking to continue to undo the years of oppression by the left.
I don't hate it. I do, considering the current state of what passes for his legacy, consider whether he deserves it.
But it is more a minor skepticism, nothing that any honest person could call "hate".
Are you serious!!! Your ilk are the ones who wanted him dead. After you murdered him not you want to quote Dr King, what a disgrace.
In fact his last speech...sermon really...was at a Christian Church....where he discussed at great length the Bible: " I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. So I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord"
The Civil Rights movement was greatly supported by Christians...
King's killer....James Earl Ray, actually campaigned for the DNC in 1967.,....
After years of fighting against it.
Are you kidding, it is white, right wing, conservatives who quote Dr. King today after they hated his guts when he was alive. If Dr. King were alive today it would be folks like you who would oppose and speak against him today. To try and make it seem as though the very folks who hated Dr King would support him is a damn disgrace.
Why would he be a Republican when those are the very people that hated him and today would fight against him in the struggle for equality.
Racists like you think just the opposite. All you see is skin color. MLK would decry you and your racist positions.
That is one of the best jokes you have told. You would hate Dr King if he were alive today, you love coons like Uncle Ben Carson, Larry Elder, koonye west, Clarence Thomas and any of those other boot licker that will kiss your ass. You hate strong black men, so you would attack Dr King just like you do Pres Obama and others.
MLK would disagree with everything you say, racist puke.
It's funny racist like you want to claim Dr King. Smfh.
Call some more blacks "coon", that will show them you are not racist.
