Here here. I wish more people adhered to those words. And they aren't all on one side of the aisle.

To bad we are still judging people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character. You know good people called racists simply because they are white and conservative.

I honor Dr. King. Too bad his message is lost .

Dr. King would roll over in his grave if he could see what the black community has done to itself.

Ah yes ... let's never forget the struggles of the white conservatives.... I remember it like it was yesterday.... The water fountains that had signs reading "black liberals only".... Watching the news and seeing white conservatives sprayed with fire hoses and having police dogs turned loose on them for protesting the fact that weren't allowed to eat in a restaurant.... seeing them taunted and spit on and having to have the national guard escort them to their college classes... I remember when the now famous Nellie Knuckledragger refused to sit in the back of the bus even though that's where white conservatives were told that's where they had to sit.... and last but not least let's not forget that it took a civil war to free the white conservatives from hundreds of years of indentured servitude. Just when I think you guys can't push the bar any lower, you manage to figure out a way to do it.

I remember it too , it is the hallmark of the Democratic party. The Democrats were responsible for all of those things mentioned.

Nothing like missing the point.

WARNING! A WGW on board! ...that's White Guilt Warrior.

Um, you atop your liberal perch of superior knowledge don't need to come on here and explain the struggles of black people. And we are all aware of what Dr. King did and the legacy he left. It is common knowledge.

Did you think the respectful comments posted here by self identified conservatives was because we thought Dr. King was a famous basketball player?

While there isn't the need teach us about the struggles of black people., there's a good chance that there's a lot you need to learn.

You didn't know that prior to the couple hundred years of slavery here that slavery in Africa had been practiced for thousands of years...by blacks who sold their slaves to the white man.
And that slavery was an accepted practice throughout the world, practiced by nearly all cultures.

And save your "two wrongs don't make a right" horeshit.. That's another way of saying white people should know better, which means blacks must be sub humans, which makes you the true racist.

You also don't know that there were many black slave owners here in the U.S.

"The largest black slaveholder in the South, John Carruthers Stanly of North Carolina, faced a number of problems in the 1820s in dealing with a slave labor force on his three turpentine plantations in Craven County. With a total of 163 slaves, Stanly was a harsh, profit-minded taskmaster, and his field hands would run away. Stanley dealt with this through his two white overseers and with a spy network that included a few trusted slaves. Brister, his slave barber in New Bern, was responsible for relaying to his owner rumors of planned escapes ...Nor did Stanly have any pangs of conscience about selling children away from their parents or holding free blacks in bondage."

You probably didn't know that the Republican party was founded for the sole purpose of abolishing slavery either.

I bet he would be pretty disappointed with the thug life, gangsta rap, lil' Tray Tray, Mike Brown etc... and that ************* racist Obama.

Indy, you're forgetting this beacon of morality and strength, an intelligent and proud woman who was invited to meet with Barry Soetoro in the house that Michelle was ashamed to live in.

King Day parade turns violent when 8 shot in Miami

A national holiday celebrating nonviolence and Martin Luther King Jr. erupted into mayhem when eight people were shot at a park named after the slain civil rights leader.

Police say eight people, including five juveniles, were shot at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park in Miami-Dade as an annual MLK Day parade was being held.

Funny that the 2 biggest liberal icons of the 20th century, JFK and MLK, held beliefs that would be mostly inline with today's Republican party.

holy ******* ****

 

[mightyguru]

MLK Jr was a socialist, plain and simple. He supported the notion of Affirmative Action as well. But based on need...not color.

Republican? That's some funny *** revisionist history.

The dems coopted his name and buried his core message, which is completely conservative.
