<quoted text>And do you know what?
Martin Luther King was Republican.
Go figure. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php...
It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism.
It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 1960s.
During the civil rights era of the 1960s, Dr. King was fighting the Democrats who stood in the school house doors, turned skin-burning fire hoses on blacks and let loose vicious dogs. It was Republican President Dwight Eisenhower who pushed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and sent troops to Arkansas to desegregate schools. President Eisenhower also appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to the U.S. Supreme Court, which resulted in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision ending school segregation. Much is made of Democrat President Harry Truman's issuing an Executive Order in 1948 to desegregate the military. Not mentioned is the fact that it was Eisenhower who actually took action to effectively end segregation in the military.
.....
Amazing how the dems claim one so opposed to them and their ways, as if he was their own.
Done? why? keep going to explain the evolve and position switch of the Republicans and the Dixiecrats.

You're preaching to the choir...what you've stated is history, however, Republicans today could not care less about social welfare issues, everything MLK stood for.

Truth is, if a Black man ain't tied to the Liberal Plantation, your type hates him. Can't have no renegades on the Liberal Plantation, and them runaway brothers mess up everybody's chitlins.
This is precious… a right-winger using racist rhetoric in defense of a Black republican. Thank you for further proving my original point. Token Uncle Toms like Michael Steele that parade around in the GOP gives the bigots on the right car blanch to express their true hate-filled feelings about minorities so that after they vomit their hate-speech they can put their arms around Steele and embrace their diversity.

Oh by the way, since you obviously didn’t get the memo… Blacks progressed decades ago from eating “chitlins”. Blacks now eat in some of the finest restaurants and cook some very exquisite meals at home.
Back during slavery “chitlins” was pig intestines that slave owners left for their slaves after the rest of the pig was cut up for Whites on the plantation so the slaves would cook and create meals out of what they were given, thus creating a lot of the ills that persisted within the Black community over the years. But moving forward, once equality gain Blacks access to the finer things in life the diet and eating habits change with that.

MLK's dream was for a color-blind America. Your type is fixated with race and ideology.
I think MLK would be VERY disappointed with the massive decay in the Black community since he died.
The historic election of the first African American where millions of Blacks, Whites and Hispanics cried cheered and hugged on Election Night 2008 fulfilled King’s dream. And if you weren’t a bigoted racist you would realize that the Black community has thrived in the years since his death. Furthermore, the massive decay that you are thinking about is what is happening to the racist on the right that are becoming irrelevant and minuscule, and that is a good thing.

President Obama on the other hand brought people of every color, ethnicity and race together to create the beginning of a new America, leaving the racist right-wingers behind in a permanent minority status.
What a match-up! America's new most-admired women -- Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton
A Democrat and a Republican. A former senator and a former governor. Two polarizing politicians, both moms, both bestselling authors, both who lost their bids for one of the nation's top elected offices last year.
Are American voters dropping a hint here?
According to a new survey just released by USA Today and the Gallup Poll, the 62-year-old Clinton barely beat out the 45-year-old Palin as the most admired female -- 16% to 15% in a poll of 1,025 adult Americans.
However, because the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, it's statistically a P-C draw. hahahaha first Sara paces Odoodle for approval percentages and now Hillary..........she's coming for you loons.

We are a new and improved America; this nation will soon be completely intergraded in every way, shape and form. You know that we are on the verge of something very special when a Black man has a chance to become the Governor of Alabama. The historic election of President Barack Obama showed patriotic Americans what America can be when we saw Blacks, Whites and Hispanic come together as one in celebration of an American victory. God has truly blessed America.

I was mocking you, deary. I should've known you are too clueless to understand that.

You see...
The old Democrats physically enslaved the black folks.
The new Democrats have mentally enslaved black folks.

Both ways, they are dependent on "the man" for everything they get.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

A symbolic, superficial victory. MLK was about substance, not hugs and cheers.

Since MLK died...

- The black family has been destroyed, mostly due to LBJ's welfare programs. Single mothers with multiple children by multiple "fathers" have become the norm. Fathers who have no sense of responsibility have become the norm.

- Gangs and their violence have gone from being a rare occurence to an everyday hazard in the black "community". Living long enough to reach adulthood and get out is the main focus of responsible black youths.

- Drugs and Alcohol, and all the bad stuff that comes with it, have become an accepted part of the black "community".

- Everybody, no matter how sorry, is considered a "brother" or "sister". Even when they murder good kids trying to get out of their hell-hole, they are still "brothers" - and to turn them into to the police makes you an "Uncle Tom"...or dead at the hands of the "brother".

- All of this dysfunction ( and more ) is handed down from generation to generation, perpetuating the lie that you are an "Uncle Tom" if you aren't a part of this so-called black "community".

If you call that "thriving", your elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor.

MLK would be ashamed of his people.

Racism has diminished steadily among whites. There is still a lot of blacks who need to recognize - and shed their racism.

However, it is not racists who are the big threat to black folks.

As Spike Lee illustrated in his movie "Tales from the Hood", black folks are killing other black folks at a rate MUCH higher than the KKK or skinheads ever could.

"What drew me to conservatism years ago was the fact that it gave discipline a slightly higher status than virtue. This meant it could not be subverted by passing notions of the good. It could be above moral vanity. And so it made no special promises to me as a minority. It neglected me in every way except as a human being who wanted freedom. Until my encounter with conservatism I had only known the racial determinism of segregation on the one hand and of white liberalism on the other -- two varieties of white supremacy in which I could only be dependent and inferior.

The appeal of conservatism is the mutuality it asserts between individual and political freedom, its beautiful idea of a free man in a free society. And it offers minorities the one thing they can never get from liberalism: human rather than racial dignity."

What party has done more for black people in this country... Dem or Repub?

America is the GREATEST COUNTRY in the world and has been for 200+ years.....why a new America? I guess the constitution (which made this country GREAT)means nothing to you....like it means NOTHING to OBAMA.

BTW you dumbass..... Your Clown in Chief OBAMA "brought people of every color, ethnicity and race together" by telling lies with every breath during his campaign.
