This is the part they forgot to mention in Civics class through out the south.
Martin was a conservative ,many young people today do not know this little known fact about
the charismatic civil rights leader.Martin Luther King Jr a firm
supporter of the institution of church and religion was a Republican.If
you think about it what else would he be.The fact that so many blacks today
are Democrats is a mystery to me.It is one great hoax that so many blacks in
the south have been tricked into joining the Democratic party.Lets look at
the history of it and you will start to under stand the reasoning.The Republican
party was founded in 1854 as the anti-slavery party,they championed freedom
and civil rights for blacks,the Democratic party on the other hand has always
been the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now
socialism.Ms.Rice ,conservative Charmain of the national black republican association says It was Democrats who fought and lost to keep
blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Jim Crow laws.It was
also Democrats that started the Klu Klux Klan to lynch and kill blacks.I hope by now you are catching on to why Martin Luther
King Jr was a Republican,this is a no brainer.One other thing you should know the historically black colleges that were
created they were founded by the Republican party.Democrats in the south like Moon Landrieau ,Edwin Edwards ,Mitch
Landrieau, Mary Landrieau Shelley Midura,Jackie Clarckson ,and Stacy Head have been controlling our inner cities for the
past thirty years and the crime and poverty is still as bad as ever.Every state wide election white Democrats blame
Republicans for the deplorable conditions in the inner city and blacks cast a protest vote against Republicans like clock
work.White Democrats in the south did not start switching to the Republican party until 1970 when they were recruited by
(R)Richard Nixon.So many young blacks are turned off by the Republican party because they do not know anything about it and Democrats perpetuate the myth of Republicans being recist, and many blacks have the mistaken notion that joining the Republican party is selling out ,but if you look at the history of it ,it is really black democrats who have sold out,conditioned to live off government hand outs in the south and welfare just remaining one step ahead of slavery.
When New Orleans City council member Stacy Head(D)(God bless her) said in her e-mail something about the black women in front of her using food stamps to buy something expensive she was just expressing what she has been taught as a "Dixiecrat",she was not mad,she said it jokingly,knowing as she does that food stamps is one of the tools Democrats use to reinforce economic slavery.I am sure Stacy Head does many good things that her black constituents appreciate but the bottom line is Stacy Head represents that part of the Democratic party that Martin Luther King Jr. opposed.
Ms. Rice goes on to say " In order to break the Democrats' stranglehold on the black vote and free black Americans from the Democrat Party's economic plantation, we must shed the light of truth on the Democrats. We must demonstrate that the Democrat Party policies of socialism and dependency on government handouts offer the pathway to poverty, while Republican Party principles of hard work, personal responsibility, getting a good education and ownership of homes and small businesses offer the pathway to prosperity."

He was a GOP member but he would not have been comfortable in a Bush GOP party. He would have likely been confortable as a Regan or McCain Republican.

Yes Reagan is the President who made made MLK National Holiday.
at 22:37 on July 6th, 2009
Please. Regan is the president who signed the holiday into law. I marched with thousands of other protestors every year on April 4 (the day of King's assassination) to make King's birthday a national holiday. Many folks coast to coast boycotted their jobs and held other protests on April 4 to support a national MLK Day. The PEOPLE made King's birthday a national holiday, not Regan. Many states were already recognizing it as a holiday before Regan finally signed.
To give Regan credit for "making" King's birthday a national holiday is like giving George Wallace credit for intergrated schools in Alabama.
Let Stevie Wonder tell you what an uphill battle it was to get King's birthday legalized: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYJPIZ-C-9c

Yes you are right Roy C .I think as soon as capitalist can make money on the message then

Good post, good comments too. Anybody else find it annoying how quick folks are to locate and label each other based on a 30 second soundbyte of information? It's a convenient and apparently socially acceptable way to judge people - a form of prejudice to be sure - in these supposedly open-minded and tolerant times. Ironic and irritating isn't it?
I have always assumed that Mr. King would hold socially conservative views, given his strong Christian convictions. It does not follow that he would therefore be economically 'right' or alligned in any way with current right wing policital or economic thought does it? I suppose he would find a way to respond to life in a way that honoured his God and his fellow man - a true hero in any culture.
Cheers and thanks for posting this piece.

Thanks yes they were registered republicans him and his dad and then JFK(democrat) came and talked politics with them.They basically made deal that the Kings would get JFK 10 million votes in return for some civil right legislation.Thats when the Democrats pretty much put the black vote in their pocket

I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY -
I KEEP HEARING ABOUT HOW YOU FREED THE SLAVES -
BACK IN THE 1800's
BUT WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?

One line in this song is very important when it comes to what Republicans, Democrats or anyone else has "done for" African Americans -- The song says, "I never asked for more than I deserve." That includes LIBERTY, EQUAL JUSTICE, and REPARATIONS."

Duo/Mary,
Bless your heart for thinking you belonged to a membership site concerned with using any type of intellect or actual vision of equality! That took me all of 5 minutes to discover. Don't waste too much of your time on the negativity of these white historical revisionists. Because indoctrinated people such as these haters aren't capable of, let alone willing to, hear you out. Devoting energy to them merely amounts to, as Marley would put it, "saying prayers to the devils."
Peace,
Jen

I appreciate your advice, and I hear you. However, NowPublic is one of the best places online I have found to publish. I re-published some articles from NP at Loop21 last night, and I cannot find the articles on their site or on the Web. The submissions are acknowledged in the number of my submissions, but where the heck are they?
I re-published some articles at Alarms for Justice on Ning in May. The first articles I cross-posted there went through OK, but not since May. Those are still "awaiting approval."
At the big and fabulous YouTube, my Cochran Firm Fraud videos 1 and 2 videos hits counter has been caught numerous times RUNNING BACKWARDS, and comments are usually blocked.
Yahoo reported that it had bounced over 1,900 of my emails since mid-April, which started after I announced the Human Rights for Prisoners March (Google it).
When you have potentially controversial information that is bona fied and certified in public record - Court records - you might be surprised to know how many "independent" news sites and network groups can be paid off or their security systems sabotaged. I don't know which, but lots of whatever it is goes on when I show up on the scene. See why at http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com and in my articles here at NP. Just click the dog icon.
I have been publishing at NP for a couple of years. I do run into problems, but NP is the closest I have found to unbiased journalism.
Thanks so much for your comment to me. Much about racism in America is still being learned. Open dialog helps. We'll get there, hopefully.

The Democrats are hood winking the black vote
at 19:54 on July 6th, 2009
Hey, 7434be. I don't know if it matters two hoots which party you vote for - they seem to all vote TOGETHER when they get to Washington anyway. Think about it.
Race is just something to keep the working class occupied while the top 5% incomers make off with 95% of the wealth of America. This time, looks like they made off with 150% plus interest. Here is a photo that scares the elite:
at 20:07 on July 6th, 2009
Yes that is scary
at 22:52 on July 6th, 2009
Excuse me? What is scary about people coming together to effect true democracy? That is a goal that each generation of Americans works toward: the ideal of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, with elected officials as public SERVANTS, not masters. Do you find the notion of eliminating racism scary? I think I misunderstood you.

"Curtailment of free speech is rationalized on grounds that a more compelling American tradition forbids criticism of the government when the nation is at war...Nothing can be more destructive of our fundamental democratic traditions than the vicious effort to silence dissenters." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
"People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster." - James Baldwin

So true
at 19:37 on July 6th, 2009
No they all took a hit with the stock market crash.Merdhoff did not help any.The rich lost allot in recent years.I hear what you are saying though
at 20:01 on July 6th, 2009
The money some of the elite lost did not disappear into thin air. What happened was a case of the bigger fish eating the big fish. Much of the money was ill-gotten gains anyway. Don't worry. They're playing catch-up with bail-outs, etc.
at 20:02 on July 6th, 2009
No I think the government tracked allot of it down,not all of it,stuffed a little in their own pockets and then left Mernoff's or whatever with jail and 1 million for his wife
at 22:59 on July 6th, 2009
$1 million for his wife? I realize that may sound like welfare to someone who had as much as he had stolen, but some retired couples are penniless! I think they should have divided that money with his victims and given her income for a year until she could find a J-O-B. $60,000 would have been generous.
If a man robs a bank tomorrow and steals $20,000, then gets caught the next day with the money in hand, are police going to allow him to leave $5,000 or even $5 with his wife before cuffing him?
All of this unequal justice needs to stop.
at 20:26 on July 6th, 2009
Ha Ha you made me laugh,that woul have been wonderful I agree
at 07:12 on July 7th, 2009
Excellent story, obviously this dear man because of his father's short-lived legacy has a great burden to carry.
at 10:57 on July 7th, 2009
Im not sure who you are referring to.The story was about Martin Luther King Jr the civil right leader in the 60's
at 15:48 on July 7th, 2009
Horsepucky! I noticed you had lots of objective citations to back up your right wing propaganda (NOT!) . I lived through the 60"s, marched with Dr King, & know that you have it exactly backwards. How do you sleep at night, do you have no shame?
at 16:54 on July 7th, 2009
Is this directed at me
at 17:13 on July 7th, 2009
He made great contribution. But what is too. I prefer to chat with those LGBT at Biflirts.com. It's more freely.

More free conversation

The Republican Party of the 1950s and 1960s is a far cry from the Republican party TODAY. First of all, there isn't even any proof that King was a registered Republican. Second, even if we was, do you really think he'd identify himself as a Republican TODAY? This is the part that seems to want to turn back the clock to the 1950s and 1960s -- I don't think King would want to go back there again.
