Some here like to say that Republicans have played an important role in race relations in the past. In point of fact, conservatives have always been racist and progressives have always believed in equal rights for all citizens, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation. Its just that the Ds used to be conservative and Rs were, at one time progressive, forward thinking and supportive of the Constitution.
IF the GObP/R were still in favor of equal rights of the races, they would have been there yesterday and their voices would have been heard on Fox. As we all know, Fox ignored the anniversary, as did the politicians and pundits.
Their absence cannot and should not be ignored.
I watched it yesterday on Fox.
The only Black Senator who is a Republican was not invited.
Sen. Tim Scott wasn?t invited to event commemorating MLK march on Washington | WashingtonExaminer.com
Smoke screen?
Would he have attended given that every other GOP leader declined the invitation?
If it was so important for Sen Scott to attend, why didn't he attend the GOP sponsored commemoration to Dr King?
you would have just loved it if he had crashed in without an invitation.

I can just hear the mainstream news today with the insults at him if he had.
Sen. Tim Scott was there at the RNC commemoration to Dr. King.
RNC, black Republicans to commemorate March on Washington

Yeah, event organizers covering thier asses when they realized they basically made this a DNC fundraiser event.
Still not proof.

Something Was Missing From The March On Washington Anniversary : It's All Politics : NPR
If Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. had seen 50 years into the future, he might have been tempted to add "Democrats and Republicans" to the historically antagonistic pairings "black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics" who, in his "I Have A Dream" speech, would one day hold hands and sing "Free at last."
The parties have seldom seemed so far apart as they did Wednesday, on the 50th anniversary of King's speech and the March on Washington. Not a single spoke at the "Let Freedom Ring" event at the Lincoln Memorial, site of King's 1963 speech, though some were invited.
House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio attended an earlier march commemoration on Capitol Hill, and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia was traveling in Ohio and North Dakota, according to explaining why they declined invitations. Former President George W. Bush was invited by event organizers, but declined because of recent heart surgery.
Whatever the reasons, the absence of any prominent past or present Republican official in a speaking role at the commemoration is unlikely to help the party's outreach to minorities. The hulking marble presence of the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, didn't really make up for the absence of living, breathing GOP officials.
So instead of a bipartisan celebration of one of the 20th century's greatest speeches and one of the most significant demonstrations in U.S. history, the event sometimes took on the feel of a Democratic National Convention. It seemed like just one more stop on the polarization express.
President Obama was joined by former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. John Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson were represented by daughters.
The Democratic Party's domination of the event didn't necessarily mean everything the main speakers said wouldn't or couldn't attract bipartisan support.
