Has anyone ever told these people that Mr. Lincoln and Dr. King were Republicans?

The DemocRat party has convinced the blacks that the Rats and Republicans have changed sides and now the racists who used to be DemocRats are now calling themselves Republicans. Never mind that Robert “Sheets” Byrd was a KKK member and that so many DemocRats opposed the Civil Rights Act that it wouldn’t have passed without Republican support.

MLK was not a Republican or a Democrat. By today’s standards, he would be an independent.

In a 1958 interview, King said “I don’t think the Republican party is a party full of the almighty God nor is the Democratic party. They both have weaknesses … And I’m not inextricably bound to either party.”
