Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican

[pcosmar]

I believe, if I am not mistaken., that Goldwater opposed forced integration. Equal rights is one thing, Forced integration/Forced associations have harmed relations in this country.
It has been the cause of poor race relations ever since.

Equal rights is one thing, denying rights is another.

 

[Bucjason]

I already knew King was a registered Republican ... doesn't really matter, but it is funny how the black Democrat loyalists try to bury this historic fact...

 

[SelfTaught]

I think people give way to much credit to MLK and the whole civil rights movement. Thomas Sowell would argue that black people were making more progress in the five years preceding the civil rights movement than in the five years after.

King despised Goldwater, who was the only Republican of that era who was worth a damn. King's "side" was the side of socialism and government. Admire him as a practitioner of civil disobedience, but when it comes to political philosophy, King was a naive fool at best and downright evil at worst. Malcom X was far closer to being on "our side" and it is no coincidence that government has used their propaganda to vilify him while lionizing the appeaser King.

I don't know much about Malcolm X. How was he close to being on our side though?

There is another thread making the rounds right now where the voters decided to get rid of political parties. Obama is speaking out against it and the Feds are overturning the decision because they are saying that blacks need black Democrats to vote for because that is who they want to vote for. It's like mind control or something. I hate the elite.

I won't go as far as to call King communist, but I'll wager he wasn't for freedom the way most of us would see it.

Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon wrote and excellent piece a decade or so ago after watching alot of the video footage at the end of King's life. It is mostly ignored by the MSM and King apologists.

In his last months, King was organizing the most militant project of his life: the Poor People's Campaign. He crisscrossed the country to assemble "a multiracial army of the poor" that would descend on Washington — engaging in nonviolent civil disobedience at the Capitol, if need be — until Congress enacted a poor people's bill of rights.

King's economic bill of rights called for massive government jobs programs to rebuild America's cities. He saw a crying need to confront a Congress that had demonstrated its "hostility to the poor" — appropriating "military funds with alacrity and generosity," but providing "poverty funds with miserliness."

 

[jmdrake]

unfortunately, this is true. King saw Goldwater and free markets as a serious threat to Americans. This feeling still rings with prominent voices today like Dr. Cornel West.

Cornel West recently attacked Obama's finance team as being "neoliberals controlled by WallStreet" and pointed out the fact that the bailouts are not capitalism because businesses have to be allowed to fail in a free market. We do ourselves a disservice when we kick everyone that isn't a Mises clone.

Does anyone have a good link to a thorough explanation as to why MLK supported JFK in the election? I have heard that his father cut a deal with JFK to get MLK out of jail.

this is talked about in "The Kennedy Men" by Laurence Learner.

For the life of me I can't remember. I believe there was a deal. JFK got MLK out of jail in hopes that MLK would support him in the upcoming election or something.

[tmosley]

According to King's associate - Ralph Abernathy -...the "reverend" King enjoyed having rough sex with white prostitutes and screaming..."I'm fu**ng for the Lord."

He was also exposed as a plagiarist.

Therefore black people have no rights?

I don't really care about what a person does on their own time. He was a great man who expanded civil liberties. No-one can legitimately fault him for his works.

+1776! I've ignored MLK smear campaigns just like I ignored Ron Paul smear campaigns.

ML King did not win any "rights" for blacks. His movement merely destroyed rights for everyone.

For example, the "Voting Rights" Act gave illilerates the "right to vote."...Voting is not a universal right...It is a privilege. Setting basic criteria such as literacy requirement is no different than setting an age requirement. Allowing the illiterate to vote was a statist initiative to empower socialism. Marx himseelf advocated universal voting.

The "Civil Rights" Act took away a business owner's right to hire whoever he wishes to hire. Although it's morally wrong to deny a qualified man a job on the basis of his race....it is tyrannical for the state to dictate to a white, or a black business owner, how he should conduct his business. "Civil Rights" destryed property rights.

If a black business owner denied me a job because I was white...I might hate him for it....but I would 100% defend his right to do so....HIS PROPERTY...HIS CHOICE!

It was well documented that the literacy requirement was being enforced in a selective and discriminatory way. Illiterate whites were "passing" the tests and college educated blacks (like Rosa Parks) were "failing".

That's an arguable point. But it doesn't detract from the fact that segregation laws took away property rights too. They forced businesses that wanted to treat blacks fairly not to do so. Also segregated government facilities are not justified from a property rights point of view since they are paid for by everybody's property. It's extremist views such as yours that keeps blacks out of the liberty movement. You may can argue that the civil rights act went to far, but claiming there was no justification for the civil rights movement is just ridiculous.

Wrong.....it is the brainwashing of blacks by the likes of ML King and Al Sharpton that keeps them away from the liberty movem,ent.

You're missing the big picture....which is that the Marxists (like King) don't give a rat's ass about blacks. They just used them to further their agenda. If some good things did come out of their movement...theye were only side effects and not the main agenda.

The day is upon us where the massive "Civil Rights / Voting Rights" blocks of black and Mexican voters, coupled with the helplessly liberal whites... are going to vote you into socialist slavery and world government.

Thank you ML King!

I actually know people that lived through the period. It's not "brainwashing". It's facts. Facts that you haven't even attempted to refute.

You're a moron. Go read the writings of James Meredith. He's about as anti marxist as you can get. He fell out with MLK. But he never took the ridiculous position that the civil rights movement was a hoax. He took a bullet for it after all while marching across Mississippi by his lonesome in order to desegregate Old Miss.

The Civil Rights movement, much like the Environmentalist movement, started out with good intentions and good people (like Meredith)....but both movments were HIJACKED by leftists and globalists.

Thats the distinction that you refuse to see, because you've been taught to worship ML King and are too damn proud to admit that you were taken in by his phony act.

Go learn about Stanley Levinson (ML Kings speechwriter and handler). It should open your eyes.

You're a fool if you think James Meredith and ML King stood for the same things. Meredith was a Patriot (who forgave and endorsed David Duke)

ML King on the other hand was a COMMUNIST agent.

Oh puleeze! You are a transparent liar and an agent looking to undermine the RP movement from within. At first you claim there was no legitimate civil rights movement and even basic things like voting rights were all fake and once I prove you wrong you want to talk about it "beginning with good intentions". Someone doesn't have to be a fan of MLK to know that you're full of it.

 

[dannno]

He was against the NWO and the international bankers.. He just used slightly different language..

He was also anti-Zionist, which many RP supporters are also..

How did you "prove me wrong".....


Repeating the cliches that your teachers drilled into your head...and using useless terminology like "it's been well documented that educated blacks could not vote" proves nothing....absolute BS. You should go sign up for ACORN as a voting drive agent if you think people with 2nd grade reading levels should be voting us into socialism.

Sorry to tear down your role model, but dont get angry with me for exposing the fraud that is ML King.

Your worship of this degenerate Marxist liar ML King reminds me of the Obots that get thrills up and down their legs when they hear Obama speak. As soon as your tear down their hero, they call u a "racist." You are no different.

It is blind worship of a fraud that you refuse to examine more closely.

Barry Goldwater was an ideological CLONE of Ron Paul. A man of honor, principle, and intellect....And your beloved ML King compared him to a Nazi. If King were alive today he would say the same thing about Ron Paul.
