MLK Day

On most issues Freepers are monolithic, which is what makes their contradictory philosophy so hypocritical - you often see the same Freeper yelling about Obama's NSA, who previously praised Bush's steely-eyed homeland protecting. But MLK is not one of those issues.

The MLK woulda been a Republican threads generally contain different Freepers than the MLK was an inept adulterous Communist. Unlike the Civil War threads, Freepers maintain comity by ignoring each other.

From the "knock-out game" to Drudge's senseless drumbeat of race bating, 2013 was a year of racial polarization on the right. So Freepers are more on the denigrate and minimize train this year. Which I like - "Democrats are the real racists, content of character, bitches!" is a doctrine that has been refined to the point of anodyne rote bullshit, while MLK bashing is still raw, without the obviously counter-factual fringes removed:

ilovesarah2012 knows what black people are like:

Ah, he was just keepin’ it real.

twister881 went to work, bathed in spite:

Adulterer, Communist sympathizer, pliagiarist, serial liar. MLK, Jr. Day is as phony a holiday as is Kwanza. Thankful I’m working tomorrow.

Republican1795.

The truth hurts. King was no hero. Just another pawn.

...Pawn of whom? Sauron?

MayflowerMadam stumbles onto the wrong thread, and is mostly ignored.

And MLK was a Republican; the dems never get around to giving that bit of info. I guess they just forget. ;)

Uncle Lonny knows MLK woulde been part of the war on whitey only Freepers see:

St Martin had feet of clay. That should not be censored. But what he did to bring down the Jim Crow Laws was right. He only asked for “Equal Justice Under Law” for ALL Americans.

Whether he would have maintained that just cause if he lived longer is a good question. Probably, he would be playing the Race Card at every opportunity to further Black Race Privilege like Jackson, Sharpton, and their guilt tripping white liberal supporters do.

A Black Race Privilege that allows black thugs to violently assault thousands of white victims out of racial hatred and revenge while the Corrupt Liberal Media, our cowardly political leaders, and the PC police turn a blind eye to it.

tobyhill - if King was one thing, it was a bad speaker:

Other than giving rambling speeches, he did absolutely nothing.

2nd Amendment finds having an affair keeps you from being moral. Soo...Bristol Palin? Rudy Giuliani?

I have a relative who is totally wrapped up in the King Legacy. He claims to be a Christian and draws strength from his life. I question how a serial adulterer who cheated on his wife can be a moral role model for anyone.

laweeks:

He knew his life was going to end violently

He didn't know squat. And if he were alive today, he'd have his hand out with the other race hustlers. It's a stinking shame that he's a role model whereas Clarence Thomas and Condoleezza Rice are looked at with skepicism and/or contempt.
