MLK was a commie and don't forget that his FBI file is still closed and it was closed for 75 years.

Also, now that I've read through all of the posts, I think that it's interesting to to see the difference in the two types of people.....

Those that are open to new opinions on the subject (hey, maybe he wasn't a saint, after all) and those that would criticize anyone with an opinion that differs from the politically correct.

I see that I've got alot to learn about MLK then. But frankly, being in the south it is all we can do just to keep peace around here.

Sometimes I think we've got to pick our battles. So let them have their day.

"Screech! Racism!"

I dont know about that. But I was THERE during the MLK RIOTS! I saw with my own eyes what this "great american" accomplished. The only reason there is an MLK day is liberals wanted it that way to shut the Black Caucus , the ACLU, and the NAACP.

I guess that what REALLY went on is just not PC enough for today's 'We Must Like All Blacks Because They Were Opressed" world.

No good conservative should teach in public (government) schools, because there should be no government schools. Only private and home schools. This little idea that the parents should actually provide education for their kids instead of fobbing it off on the rest of society. But I wouldn't expect you to understand that, since you are defending a Commie.

(As an aside, I do think it is important to judge people by what the morality of their day was, and not just by the morality of our day. For example, in that light it is easier to understand why Washington and Jefferson were slave owners. So there might be a time when you would go easier on an American leftist who was sympathetic to Communism. But by the 50's and 60's the evils of Communism were no secret. MLK has no excuse for his Commie sympathies.)

exactly. He wasn't perfect. He did some bad things. But he did some great things as well. He was a great man, and being a man, was fallible. All these attacks on his character and trying to tear him down are transparent attempts to belittle his accomplishments, to say 'well, this awful, awful man put his life on the line to change these things, and since he was bad, his ideas must be bad and since his ideas are bad, blacks should go back to separate drinking fountains.' The veneer of morality over blatant racism.

So you think there's something wrong; an ill in society (bad history teaching), yet you refuse to do anything about it? <<

Who says I refuse to do anything about it? The only thing I refuse to do is take the bait from a troll line.

Jesus- Just give the guy his day.

You have to take the Lord's name in vain in order to support an adulterer and plagerist? That's pathetic.

Sometimes I think we Republicans are becoming too rigid against our fellow Republicans who might have differing opinions.

In my mind's eye, it's the Democratic party which is filled with hate and pious notions, not my party.

[Grey Ghost II]

I'm acknowledging that he was a leader in one of the most important social movements in our history. For that, I believe he should be respected and honored.

Look at the fruits of that movement and tell me whether life is improved by for the average black family. The number one problem in the black household today is broken homes. Who set the standard and example for adultery? MLK.

[bencarter]

there is no evience he was a commie. Hoover tried for years to get some, but never did. Some of his friends were former commies of the card carrying type, but MLK wasn't.

[joesnuffy]

Ended the oppression of millions?...and began the extortion of millions more -tax payers....and made the crime politically correct.

And if anyone was responsible for ending 'racism' I think the millions of 'white' boys who died in combat or later of their wounds...those who were maimed, blinded, amputees..those who lost their farms, their jobs, their families, their livlihood....ought to be thanked just a little...
for having ended racism...they did so at least as much as MLK...

imo

Yeah right. I know lots of capitalists who prefer to hang around communists.

[bencarter]

only problem with your logic is that MLK's adultry is not widely bannied about, so it can't be an standard. Since there are no more lynchings, I'd say it is better no, but there's still a lot that needs fixing.

"(at my house, it's just referred to as mass murderer day" whoa! i HAVE Choctaw ancestry but I am glad white western christians discovered and colonized America before somebody else did. Buts thats just me.

[bencarter]

One of the pres's good buddy is a big democrat in NYC, does that make him a democrat? Guilt by association rises again.

[Grey Ghost II]

Since there are no more lynchings

Despite, the decrease in lynchings, the average life expectancy of a black male has gone DOWN.
