It is not disputed that Martin Luther King embraced the principles of Republicanism, that is individual rights over majority rule.
I don’t think a lot of FReepers, or most folks in general, have a clue as to his true political ideology. Had he not been martyred, which was his wish, he’d have been standing arm-in-arm with the far-left race-baiting hucksters of today. He led his own people into the bondage of big government, a fate for which even the most rabid White Supremacist couldn’t have dreamed of for the sheer destructiveness to the Black family & culture.
Unless you consider the wholehearted embrace of Socialism to be a principle we should admire, and to associate it with Republicans, I am very concerned about. Sadly, the more I learned about the man, the less attractive a person and leader he appeared to be.
