MLK Jr was a Republican. He spoke to the RNC at the Platform Committee in San Francisco in 1960.

I think MLK Jr is a big deal as far as our domestic tranquility is ensured because he led the fight for justice and equality under the law after WWII. He should be put up on a pedestal.

However, we traded one form of horrific civil rights abuse for another when the SCOTUS legalized abortion in 1973.

I wouldn't put him on a pedestal when the civil rights act killed freedom of association in the country. He was also involved with a lot of communists who wrote his speech for him. He didn't always do peaceful protests and the civil rights act was done deceptively. Rosa parks incident was planned; she was a member of the NAACP and they told her what to do so that they can pass their civil rights propaganda. the original lady was pregnant and she couldn't be used as a propaganda image. Marxists knew what will happen when we pass civil rights. remember that we also passed the hart cellar act and female equality laws in that same decade. Before the civil rights, Blacks knew order and stability and ventured for it at the highest level. right now, nobody holds them accountable and they always push their problems onto society.

Maybe if jackasses weren't abusing freedom of association to pick on people who were born with a different skin color, we wouldn't have had any of those problems to begin with.

Yes, MLK Jr had communists working with him along with Republicans mostly. In fact, at the time, even Jesse Jackson was a Republican and believed, in his own words, "abortion is genocide."

I don't care if the Rosa Parks incident was planned. btw, I already knew it was. It was a stupid law to make blacks sit at the back of the bus. It's like making a law saying that a poached egg has to be opened on the big end instead of the little end. If there weren't so many petty little Stalinists trying to enforce such a silly, and it is a very silly law, no amount of planning would have ever started the bus boycott. Seriously, of all the stupid reasons to try to discredit the civil rights movement, trying to argue that the "back of the bus" law wasn't a flaming big red target because of the sheer dumb-dumb of that law, is mind bogglingly obtuse.
