Hate Crime Alert!
Pelican State Ping!
Amusing to see the Rats in Louisiana attack Jindal because of his parents’ nationality (Jindal was born in U.S.). In certain parishes an anti-Jindal handout darkened his face.
The segregationists were Democrats as well. Read that MLK was registered as a Republican but haven’t been able to verify this. Amusing things out there you won’t find in the history books.
Can one register as a Republican in GA or AL? He choose a party by voting in the primary of his choice, same as in TX, MS, and AR. There were no Republican primaries in GA or AL at the time of King, were there? I think it was King, Sr., who had voted Republican.
He was.
Keep in mind that the Black Codes were in effect at the time. To get registered to vote you had to pass test ( "how many peanuts are in this jar") Blacks could never get the answers right. the Republican party, however, was registering everyone so all blacks who wanted to vote were Republicans.
Condoleeza Rice did a great interview on Leno last year. Leno asked her if she was the first Republican in her family and she absolutely schooled him on why her and her family were all loyal Republicans. You could tell all of what she was saying was the first he had ever heard any of this.
I had a friend from church (black) that worked as a stock boy in a small general store back then and he was told to count out 200 nails and put them in a box one day. A couple of days later he found out that the box of nails was the test the Democrats were giving to get to register so he told all of his family and friends that he put 200 nails in the box. Not one of them guessed correctly.
That is the true history of the Left.
“...MLK was registered as a Republican...”
I bet his murderer was a Democrat!
The segregationists were indeed rats. It’s hard for me to believe you’re a conservative and don’t know this. The Dixiecrats fought vehemently against the Civil Rights Act. Without the pubs, there would have been no CRA. Eisenhower began the push for the CRA.
King was a registered pub, as were his dad and grandad before him.
