And I firmly believe that if God granted MLK kust 30 minutes back on this earth he would spend the entire time kicking the ever loving crap out of Jackass, Sharpton and Farrakhan for pissing all over his “dream”.
If blacks start voting above 30% Republican in Presidential elections, expect to see a surge in the Military arm of the Democrat party, the KKK.
Quote from liberal Democrat Woodrow Wilson
This was posted by a moonbat on another board regarding this issue:
All that 19th century history about protecting the rights of blacks in the United States is correct. But the republican and democratic parties switched sides on this issue in the 20th century.
When LBJ pushed for protecting voting rights for blacks in the 1960’s, a large percentage of southern white democrats switched to the republican party in protest.
The republican party of Lincoln was the true party of liberals on the issue of civil rights in the 1800’s. The democrats who opposed them, the socalled Dixiecrats or blue dog democrats, became republicans. Their prodigy now dominates the GOP.
The civil rights issue totally turned these parties upside down 50 years ago. Bigots became republicans and liberals became democrats. I sort of wonder if the illegal immigration debacle isn’t going to result in another political party re-alignment in the immediate future.”
It is amazing how many do not realize this and the reasons for it.
Simply not true.If it is then they should have no problem giving us many, many names of those who switched parties. I suspect they will able to name less than a handful In addition the Democrat Party and liberal white guilt have done almost irreparable harm to the African Amercian Community. One need only look at the current campaign to see the disdain Democrats hold for African Americans who wander off the Plantation.
you know most people will think this is a lie....
“you know most people will think this is a lie....”
Because it is. I don’t know why this keeps rearing its ugly head repeatedly. If MLK, Jr. was ever a Republican, he certainly wasn’t starting with the key 1960 Presidential election. His father officially switched to the Democrats before the election. We really need to stop broadcasting this falsehood, it makes us look bad.
These were the links to the discussions on the subject:

When white conservatives try to woo minorites, blacks sneer at them by saying, “You just don’t get what its like to be black in America!”. Stunts like the ones mentioned in the article reinforce that belief of white conservatives can’t relate to blacks.
But it is National BLACK Republican Association that is running the billboards.
Thanks for the links, I’ll check them out.
So do you think the NBRA is lying, or are they mistaken? I am curious as to why they would invest in such an advertisement.
I wouldn’t accuse them of lying, but this is shockingly bad research that anybody with a few minutes could uncover. MLK, Jr. was a Socialist who believed in DC-based solutions. What he had to say about our Conservative/Libertarian standard-bearer Goldwater in that he was aiding the cause of racists (nevermind that Goldwater was pro-Civil Rights with the record to prove it, but opposed aspects of the CRA because it was too intrusive and heavy-handed from a federal standpoint). His father became a committed Dem and appeared with Jimmy Carter in 1976 (nevermind that Carter had run a racist campaign to win the Governorship in 1970). Had MLK, Jr. still been around by 1980 he would’ve been no different than Je$$e Jack$on or Sharpton in denouncing Reagan.
Now, MLK, Jr. may have been a Republican prior to 1960 (although he never officially declared party affiliation), but we know he certainly did not support the GOP or Conservative self-reliance positions after that point. It would be like putting up a big billboard saying “Jim Jeffords was a Republican.” Yes, he was... until he stopped being one in 2001. Very misleading. By April 1968, MLK, Jr. was moving into the radical camp of the left agitating for social change trying to stay relevant in the public eye. The fact that a man who had addressed giant crowds in DC in the course of a few years was getting involved in an obscure issue like a city garbage workers strike demonstrated how far he was having to reach.
bump for info
As you well know, the reason for JFK’s November ‘63 trip to the DFW Metroplex was political damage control. LBJ was going to be dumped from the ticket in ‘64 and replaced with MO Sen. Stuart Symington (JFK’s real preference in 1960) and Goldwater was competitive with JFK in the polls (there wasn’t going to be any Texas-sized LBJ coordinated vote fraud that year — nothing in it for him). There was a good chance that JFK was going to lose reelection (as it was, there wasn’t going to be a single Southern state he would carry in ‘64 had he lived).
I have to wonder what Goldwater would’ve done starting in 1965 with the remaining Civil Rights legislation. Probably a more modest, go-slow approach. He’d have similarly been imperiled. If he did something bold, he’d have pissed off the South as well, too tentative, and pissed off liberals and moderates. It was going to be tough no matter whom was President. You couldn’t go in any direction without precipitating a visceral reaction from one group or another.
I’d still think ole Je$$e and Al would be doing their thing today regardless. They were the “bad guys” that the brilliant Booker T. Washington warned of well over a century ago. A little interesting observation. I’m on a website top-heavy with lib Dems, and they don’t hold those two in high esteem, either. They’re recognized as con men and troublemaking hucksters/charlatans, but the Dems are reluctant to voice that opinion publicly, for obvious reasons.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have no interest in actual religious work. They would be used car salesman.
