"Why Martin Luther King Was Republican"
-
Since our resident sniveling little leftist bitch who can only derail conversation posted about this before, I thought I'd discuss this.
The loser ass clown used a proven leftist "bias checker" who is also part of the same leftist "fact checkers" Facebook and other leftist sites use. Zuckerberg, in 2 lawsuits, used the defense that these assholes were not stating FACTS, but rather they were just spewing their opinion under the guise of facts.
Part of the leftist lies, these losers are trying to get you to believe is that an article that came from another site is the words of a site that reposts it, such as this article. Of course, this only applies to conservative sites.
Anyway, let's get on with the article (one of) little miss leftist bitch mentioned; "Why Martin Luther King Was Republican"
Little miss useless bitch and his leftist bitch girlfriends want us to believe that MLK Jr. was a Democrat, in the south.
He thinks we are so fucking stupid to believe that MLK Jr. was a Democrat. You know the same cunts who created and run the KKK.
YES, according to this leftist idiot, he thinks that MLK Jr was a black Klansman and lover of Jim Crow. Next he's gonna try to convince us that MLK Jr. and Jim Crow were fuck buddies who had sex between the segregated water fountains.
Next, he will try to get us to believe that Emmit Tills killed himself and it had nothing to do with the racist Democrats in the South.
None of the stuff MLK Jr stood for was what the Democrats stood for. If it were, MLK Jr would have saved his beloved Dems and killed himself so they could have clean hands.
BTW, you can google the thread title and see how many sites reposted the article. But I know the liberals won't look because they love to believe the lies, their fellow leftists spew.

@raphjd I never thought about MLK party. Wow was he GOP? For 100 years after USA Civil War, most blacks were. Thus plausible.
While Dems were KKK party just as you say.

On 18 October 1956, Earl Kennedy, a 1941 Morehouse graduate and Detroit Republican activist, asked King about his position "relative to Negro people voting for Democratic candidates nationally.” MLK Jr's reply to Earl Kennedy's question is shown below.
Mr. Earl Kennedy, Chairman
First Congressional District
Michigan Citizens for Eisenhower
400 North Capitol Avenue
Lansing, MichiganDear Mr. Kennedy:
Thanks for your very kind letter of October 18, making inquiry concerning my political position. Actually, I am not taking any public position in this election. In private opinion I find something to be desired from both parties. The Negro has been betrayed by both the Democratic and Republican Party. The Democrats have betrayed us by capitulating to the whims and caprices of the southern dixiecrats. The Republicans have betrayed us by capitulating to the blatent hypocrisy of conservative right wing northerners. This coalition of southern dixiecrats and right wing northern Republicans defeats every move toward liberal legislation in Congress. So we confront the problem of choosing the lesser of two evils. At this point I might say however, that I feel that the Negro must remain an independent voter, not becoming unduly tied to either party. He should seek to vote for the party which is more concerned with the welfare of all the people.
I was more than happy to hear from you, and of course I was very happy to know that you are an alumnus of Morehouse College. I hope it will be possible to meet you personally sometime in the near future.
Sincerely yours,
M. L. King, Jr.,https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/earl-kennedy

@raphjd Wow. Your (willful?) ignorance of history is only second to your inability to have a conversation without talking like a 13-year-old who just discovered dirty words.
It's well-established and documented that the historically Democratic south (because of Lincoln) started flocking to the GOP after Kennedy/Johnson and the Democrats started passing Civil Rights legislation. Remember the Dixiecrats? Strom Thurmond? Look at the electoral maps after 1964. All the racists flocked to the Republican party, took over, and have been happily living there ever since.

WERE being the operative word. Neither of current parties are anything like they were except that Democrats support social justice and social welfare and the Republicans are essentially the party of rich industrialists who con the working class into voting against their best interests with bogus culture war issues.

You're delusions are showing.
Strom was basically the only Dem to switch parties.
Byrd stayed right where he had always been, as did many others.
-
@raphjd During the 80s many of them called themselves "Reagan Democrats," remaining Democrat in name at the local level, but voting for Republicans in national elections. Over time, Republicans have completely taken over the south, except for the educated urban centers and are not as strong in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia where many northerners moved.
This is not my opinion. It is well-documented.
-
Umm, Wikipedia is a leftist site.
-
@raphjd True. Facts. Kryptonite to the Right.

@jaroonn is correct about the parties switching, starting in the 1960's thru the 80's. If @raphjd had ever taken a political science class in a university, then he'd know that. But, as we all know, @raphjd thinks reading books makes you dumber.
But, for context...
The Great Switch: How the Republican & Democratic Parties Flipped Ideologies
"In 1964, Democratic president Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. In the 1964 election, Republican candidate Barry Goldwater publicly opposed the new law, arguing that it expanded the power of the federal government to a dangerous level.
It was this argument that led to a final, decisive switch. Black voters, who had historically been loyal to the Republican Party because of the 1866 Civil Rights Act, had already been switching to the Democratic Party.
However, upon hearing Goldwater’s argument against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the majority of Black voters left the Republican Party in favor of the Democrats. They saw the Democratic Party as advocates for equality and justice, while the Republicans were too concerned with keeping the status quo in America.
As the 60s and 70s continued, Democrats sought reform in other places, such as abortion and school prayer. White southern Democrats began to resent how much the Democratic Party was intervening into the rights of the people.
By the 1980s, white southern Democrats had become Republicans, and the majority of the south was now Republican. The Republican Party now is solidly conservative while the Democratic Party is the liberal one."

I do love how liberals intentionally ignore a lot of history.
Sen Byrd remained a Democrat. He was besties with Biden and Hillary said that he (along with Margaret Sanger) was her hero.
Biden's 1994 crime bill and the way they talked about black people, shows how much they loved black people. Let's not forget home much they love gay people.
Democrats talked a good talk but they never did anything good for the groups they claimed to love.
The welfare system they created forced the fathers out of the home.
They, not the Repubs, made laws against the LGBTs.
-
@raphjd These are all anecdotal anomalies. All you have to do is to look at what these parties were then and what they are now. I don't believe every Republican is a racist homophobe, but if you are a racist homophobe, you are probably a Republican.
-
If you are a racist homophobe, you were most likely a Democrat in the 1990s.
Clinton-era anti-LGBT and the 1994 crime laws are not "anecdotal anomalies".
Starting in 1971, the DNC promised to give us ENDA (whatever it's original name was) and they never ever delivered. The only thing they did was stab us in the back.
Liberal Colorado gave us Prop 2.

How some Republicans viewed the 1994 Crime Bill back then. They thought it was too lenient and not strong enough:
So what is it that Raphjd is arguing here, that the 1994 crime bill was too harsh on black families? Is that because "conventional wisdom" and the "mainstream media" tells us that it was too harsh on black families? I would be surprised then, that Raphjd would be supporting what "mainstream media" tells him about the crime bills effects. Cuz he knows back in 1994 he would have been against it as being too lenient .

Tell me again what Hillary, Biden, and countless Dems said about black people and the need for the law.
Uncivilized, unsocialized, predators, super predators, and many, many others.
Yeah, Dems aren't racists.
Biden, as Kamala reminded us, called integrated schools "racial jungles" and didn't want his kids going to them.
-
@raphjd said in (/post/309459):
Uncivilized, unsocialized, predators, super predators, and many, many others.
That's what the GOP said why the law was not strict enough and too lenient, and shouldn't be supported. Back then you would have been against it too, as too lenient.
Now you're implying it was too harsh, because that's what 'conventional wisdom' and the mainstream media is telling you about that law.
-
@raphjd That's what you're implying here, that the "Biden crime bill" was too harsh on black families (a mainstream media talking point).
So why are you spouting mainstream media ideas like that? Is it because you think that makes Biden look bad? So I see you tout mainstream media ideas only when they service your interests.
Why aren't you more honest in saying that back then, you would have been with your GOP cronies in the above video in opposing the crime bill as being too lenient. Deep down inside you know that's the truth.

As always, you are intentionally ignoring the words of your beloved Democrats.
You clowns keep telling us that conservatives hate minorities, while intentionally and blatantly ignoring the words of liberals.
I haven't given my opinion on the Biden crime bill. However, you fellow liberals have screeched about it being racist, while sucking Biden's cock and eating Hillary's pussy. Then, of course, there's what your beloved liberals said about black people to justify the bill.
Biden has a long and well-recorded history of being a racist, by his own words, but you leftist twats still suck his cock at every turn.
Schumer, while still a state-level politician, was a fanatical red-liner. Schumer gave us the Religious Freedom restoration Act that gave believers the right to discriminate against ONLY the LGBT community. Yet, I know you will suck his cock while telling us how much he loves us.
Hillary was anti-marriage equality, conveniently enough, until she ran for President in 2016.
I do love how you people keep trying to rewrite history.
Also, the DNC supported closed borders until at least 2014, but it seems like the switch actually happened in the autumn of 2015. Of course, we've seen you people try to rewrite history while forgetting that congressional votes and speeches are well recorded.
