Al has a son in prison also?
I thought I saw Jesse (or was it his kid?) on a Milk Carton....
lol
Hey Jesse! Al!
Judging by “the content of your character” the ONLY thing you have in common with MLK is “the color of your skin”.
Actually they are.
King was a radical leftwinger who smeared American troops; he called them war criminals.
He said that the United States was the greatest purveyor of violence in the world---that we were responsible for all of the death and suffering in Vietnam, not the Communist government. King worried about what the Viet Cong thought of us, and talked about understanding the arguments of those we called "enemy" (quotes: his). Look up the Riverside Church speech.
King spoke of Western arrogance, was critical of capitalism, supported reparations, income redistribution, and he agitated alongside labor unions.
As for his status of "Reverend", King denied the Second Coming and the divinity of Jesus. No, let me amend that last a bit...he believed Jesus was somewhat-kind of divine, but just a little more than the rest of us, and that sorta-kinda divinity was achieved through moral struggle.
And he believed that the Bible was largely myth and all religions equal.
I swear, I do not understand why conservatives fall for the MLK hype.
See #25.
OH Please....MLK was a Republican, and you might be wiser if you went to the National Black Republican Association website and got an education...
In an old “Simpsons” episode they panic when they realize they are at the intersection of MLK Boulevard and Cesar Chavez Way (or something along those lines).
Here in northeastern NJ years ago middle-class blacks opposed the renaming of a street for MLK because they thought it would give their neighborhood a bad reputation; they were basically darker white people, and were content with the regular names on their streets...
Malcolm X had a real epiphany when he realized there were white Muslims.
LOL
I see that website bases its claim that MLK was a Republican on the words of Alveda King. I guess they didn’t hear that she admitted she was wrong about that in October of 2013.
I think she’s a decent woman and she made a mistake. But if she had read her uncle’s biography, she would have seen his opinion of Republicans, whom he called racists, reactionaries, and extremists. King campaigned against Goldwater and for Johnson.
So let’s review. We have MLK on record smearing Republicans in general and supporting Democrats. His own niece said she was wrong when she claimed he was a Repub.
In his own words, we have King smearing our troops by calling them war criminals, supporting the Viet Cong, and calling our nation the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. Note that when John Kerry did the same thing, we rightly castigated him, but even conservatives are willing to give King a pass on such vile behavior.
Combine all of that with the undeniable fact that King supported and preached a leftwing ideology, and what do you have?
Another leftwing radical. Yet for some unfathomable reason, some on the right don’t want to hear the truth about him. They’ve bought into the worship, hook, line, and sinker.
Stunning, really.
Truth is still truth, even if it comes from a donkey.
“Never judge a man by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.”
What was accomplished through imperfect men in the mid sixties ended up being far better and helped the blacks far more than Malcolm X and this bunch of money grubbers, who line their own pockets and have caused a reversal of relationships between blacks and white.
Please post the link where Alveda King admitted she was wrong, because I saw her on Fox News during the election and that would contradict what she said at that time.
It sure is, but apparently you don't want to hear it.
“Never judge a man by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.”
Again, correct.
In view of that, why are you defending an America-hating, troop-slandering, Communist-loving, racebaiting, blaspheming, woman-beating leftist radical?
"What was accomplished through imperfect men in the mid sixties"
"Imperfect?" Is that what we're calling Communists now?
" ended up being far better and helped the blacks far more than Malcolm X and this bunch of money grubbers,"
Did it really ? Look at the current black situation---the poverty, the illegitimacy, the violence, and so on, and so on. If that was help, seems like they could have done without it.
" who line their own pockets and have caused a reversal of relationships between blacks and white."
I don't think we can blame Jackson and Sharpton solely for that, do you? Unless you think blacks have no responsibility for their own actions.
"Please post the link where Alveda King admitted she was wrong, because I saw her on Fox News during the election and that would contradict what she said at that time."
From the article:
"I have few regrets in my life. At the top of the list is the demise of two children in my womb, and one miscarriage. Next to that, I regret having said to a group of peers that my Uncle M. L. (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) was a Republican. I said that without having all the facts.
My grandfather, Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. was a registered Republican. Uncle M. L. was an independent, who in his own words tended to vote Democrat. I assumed that since granddaddy was a Republican, Uncle M. L. was too..."
