There are no facts that support King being a Republican or a Democrat. He never endorsed a candidate. No one has his voter registration. Not one shred of evidence exists. You are calling people making shit up evidence. Don’t post stupid stuff here…open your own thread if you really feel the need to argue MLK Jr. was a Republican-I’m sure you could find a few idiots to blindly follow along.
[quote=“MLK in his autobiography”]The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism. All people of goodwill viewed with alarm and concern the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right. The “best man” at this ceremony was a senator whose voting record, philosophy, and program were anathema to all the hard-won achievements of the past decade.
It was both unfortunate and disastrous that the Republican Party nominated Barry Goldwater as its candidate for President of the United States. In foreign policy Mr. Goldwater advocated a narrow nationalism, a crippling isolationism, and a trigger-happy attitude that could plunge the whole world into the dark abyss of annihilation. On social and economic issues, Mr. Goldwater represented an unrealistic conservatism that was totally out of touch with the realities of the twentieth century. The issue of poverty compelled the attention of all citizens of our country. Senator Goldwater had neither the concern nor the comprehension necessary to grapple with this problem of poverty in the fashion that the historical moment dictated. On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represented a philosophy that was morally indefensible and socially suicidal.[/quote]
You also listed a long list of democrats who supported segregation policies, but left out the equally long list of Republicans who did so as well-you’re cherry picking. Could it be you are just selectively picking pieces of history to try to cover up the fact that it is the Republican party who uses ignorance and bigotry to get the vote out? Are you so blinded by your interpretation of history that you don’t see the Republicans lost the black community more than 35 years ago, a trend that only increases?
We only need to look at the present to see which party gets the bigot vote these days. Go play crazy somewhere else, unless you have something to add to this thread.

I said “Martin Luther King was a Republican not a Democrat”… how is that rewriting history?
don’t shoot the messenger. read the facts.[/quote]
[/quote]I am, but I’m not a fan of people who try to rewrite it. Fact is, both parties had people who fought for desegregation and against slavery. Neither party was innocent when it came to segregation of schools. You might try to read history that is not written by partisans from either party.
Don’t miss all the beautiful colors of the rainbow looking for that pot of gold. —
