I almost wonder if MLK were still around he wouldn't be a republican. Seems to me that his vision and that of the poverty pimps like Jesse are so desperately at odds...

Oh, I think the United States would be a much different place had Martin survived. I don't know that the Democrat Party would have evolved the way it did, and I'm certain there would not have been a "Democrat plantation." If Martin and Malcolm had found common ground, I believe a lot of the cr@p we see now --- poverty pimps, the permanent victim mentality, the despicable glamorization of gangstas and their lifestyles --- would not exist.
