I think MLK would have been an avid supporter of affirmative action aka continued racism. He was for slavery reparations which would make people that had never even seen an african slave pay for crimes in which they beared no responsibility.

Some of MLK's views are just and completely constitutional but some aspects are despicable.

If MLK had lived, what would his views be today? Of course, we can never know this with absolute certainty, but my guess is he would be on the ultra-left fringe.

He wouldn't be a Ward Connerly fighting against racial quotas, he'd be an Andrew Young pushing for them.

He wouldn't be an Alan Keyes fighting abortion and the gay agenda, he'd be a Jesse Jackson pushing for them.

He wouldn't be a Dr. Walter Williams encouraging blacks to pursue capitalism, he'd be a Maxine Waters howling for socialism.

He wouldn't be a Condi Rice or Colin Powell fighting the war against terror, he'd be a Cynthia McKinney calling President Bush a war criminal.

He wouldn't be a Michael Steele fighting corrupt government, he'd be an Al Sharpton epitomizing it.

He wouldn't be a Thomas Sowell encouraging blacks to seek educational excellence, he'd be a Sheila Jackson-Lee demanding handouts.

That's the way I see it.
