I’m sorry the dude was killed, but I wasn’t even born when it happened. Furthermore, it was the support of non-Democrat whites that helped the Civil Rights Movement succeed. It was a white Democrat who killed MLK, and it was the policies of white democrats that subjugated and enslaved the blacks in the US for hundreds of years. It wasn’t Republicans who filibustered the Civil Rights Acts in the 60s. But, of course, none of this stuff matters as long as those on welfare get “their” checks and their “reparation” money.

He certainly was not a “Goldwater Republican”.

Mr. Thomas, why not just piss on the grave of Martin Luther King Jr. rather than insulting his legacy in this way that is so much worse?

Malcolm the Xth’s killer was released in 2010, apparently.

No one seems to be paying no mind, though.

White society was not achieved through wine tastings and ice cream socials, but rather through the pillaging of life, liberty, labor and land. In short, through three centuries of kidnapping, torture, murder and rape . . . .

Bullsnot.

White society was achieved by inventing things, building things, growing things, digging things out of the ground. White society was achieved by learning, by thinking, by doing. White society was achieved by respect for the natural law. Most of all, white society was achieved by respect and reverence for God, who revealed Himself first to the Jews and then to all people, as recorded in the Bible.

There's nothing specifically "white" about white society. The author is free to join white society, if he wants to. Regrettably, he seems to prefer wallowing in self-indulgent hate.

In his 1991 memoir, Breaking Barriers, journalist Carl Rowan writes that in 1964 congressman John Rooney told him that he and his congressional committee had heard J. Edgar Hoover play an audiotape of an apparent orgy held in King's Washington hotel suite. Over the sounds of a couple having intercourse in the background, according to Rooney, King could be heard saying to a man identified as Abernathy, "Come on over here, you big black m*******r, and let me s**k your ****." Horrors, King was gay! (Rowan thinks this was just ribald repartee.) In his account of the same episode, civil rights historian Taylor Branch attributes a couple more quotes to King: "I'm f****g for God!" and "I'm not a Negro tonight!"

Happy MLK day. We are a dispossessed people, occupied by an alien elite who make us worship our tormentors.

That never stopped Huey P. Long.
