The eldest son of the late Martin Luther King Jr. said Monday that the country is “gonna get there on voting rights” and deliver on his father’s legacy.

Martin Luther King III during an appearance on CNN critiqued restrictions that impede Americans from casting their ballots and said the country has work to do on shoring up voting legislation and making access to the polling place easier.

“It’s going to be quite difficult for any of that to happen with this Republican-led Congress, but we have to keep exerting pressure on them. Nothing happened in the modern Civil Rights movement until it happened,” he said.

“And so my point is, as we’re exerting pressure, we will get there. Now, It may not be this year, but we’re gonna get there on voting rights,” he added.

Your father is rolling in his grave listening to what you just said.

What voting rights? Hell, everyone in this country has the vote. Even the Deceased, and Illegal Aliens.

I guess “voting rights” now means allowing Democrats to vote for blacks by filling out ballots in their name without the bother of actually voting. That such policies benefit the black upper classes who disproportionately benefit from government jobs and administering “assistance” programs is not accidental.

What the heck is he talking about?

Q: Why does Martin Luther King inspire so much ugly sculpture?

voting makes no difference in democratic run cities...people who live there know the voting is rigged...how else do you run these cities for fifty years...in the old days when I was a lid they had walk away money...for voting

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Special "rights" for Negroes destroys voting rights for all others. Every state in the USA has a similar procedure.

• Register to vote.
• Show up at the polling place.
• Cast your vote.

I'm told that these people were flying helicopters around the Pyramids of Egypt, that they invented electricity, turned peanut butter into diamonds and emeralds. For such talented people they should be able to follow simple directions.

[eyeamok]

WTF is this crackhead talking about?

[Deepeasttx]

For such talented people...

Don’t forget they developed advanced mathematics in Africa. And those darn Greeks came and stole it from them!

That is probably the most absurd claim I’ve heard.

[elpadre]

Yes, indeed! - MLK was a Republican and believed all people, including blacks, must be responsible and make things not easy but right!!

[PGR88]

Democrats and the deep-state have created a statist, elitist corrupt system of voting and financial fraud under cover of “civil rights.”

[Dilbert San Diego]

Remember how Biden and other Democrats said that the Georgia voter law was a return to Jim Crow laws? The liberal view is that there is voter suppression.

The actual facts do not matter. Only the liberal view of things matters to these people. The fact that voter turnout in Georgia was increased substantially after the passage of their voter law is An Inconvenient Truth to them. So they ignore such facts.

So Martin Luther King the third , who apparently makes a living off of his father’s Legacy, parrots back the liberal view that there’s voter suppression.

[Pearfect]

What absolute crap.

EVERYONE HAS VOTING RIGHTS.

SOME WANT TO GET RID OF PERSONAL IDENTIFICATIONS TO VOTE.

Democrats cheat, we ALL KNOW THAT.

[NorthMountain]

Never ending racial bigotry and animosity: the true legacy of Martin Luther Michael King and the misnamed, misbegotten "civil rights movement". The most racially bigoted people in America have one thing in common: dark skin.

[fieldmarshaldj]

For the 100,000th time, he was NOT a Republican.

[NorthMountain]

What the heck is he talking about?

Does your ancestry primarily come from Europe? If so, he hates you. Because you're "White".

That's what he's talking about.

Little Marty is a dimwit. I think he’s well meaning, but box of rocks is smarter.

[rktman]

WTAF? Is he series? Dumbassery abounds. Dad is at about 3,800 rpm. Hey III.....🖕

[NorthMountain]

I think he’s well meaning

That was "our" first mistake, 60 years ago.
