I'm having this heated debate on tribe
heateddebate.tribe.net/thread...ff399a7

NOTE: A lot of my comments on this blog are replys to the other post in this heated debate - FYI I love all my bothers and sister; white, black, red, brown, yellow, orange, green, and purple - we belong to the human race.

I would just like to say before I begin is that it shouldn't be about race, but that's the level that they've brought it to and it's not all about Obama, it's about all these beautiful WHITE people of this country who has stepped forward and selected Obama to Champion this country back to us - remember the Govt. is supposed be ours and work for us.

It's just when people try to manipulate the truth that upsets me...

here's what they posted:

"It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. And as one pundit so succinctly stated, the Democrat Party is as it always has been, the party of the four S's: slavery, secession, segregation and now socialism"

Chaz: W stop spreading all these LIES, King was not a Republican, and in his era he was down with JFK.

And BTW black people were responsible for wining the Civil war and keeping the Union - Lincoln and his Republican party didn't care about freeing the slaves, they were only concern about saving and keeping the union, it was only when the North were getting beat so bad by the South that the North was out of any options, Lincoln then as a last ditched effort enlisted black warriors and black citizen to join the fight. If it weren't for these black soldiers we would not have a UNITED States today.

You keep posting these same articles and it's still a lie....Talk about things you know.

All parties and most of America (Still) are Racist

It never ceases to amaze me how low you people will go ...

I'm not a Republican nor a Democrat BTW -Dog Star

Everything out a Republicans mouth is a lie, or a manipulation of the truth and it's beyond me how anyone of you Republicans can talk any crap with what the Bush (Republicans) administration has done in hijacking this country and stripped us all of our rights and freedom and messed up the economy the worst since the great depression, along with an illegal war, and then to spy on all of us with a s called Patriot Act - we've lost our rights of privacy - i bet they are even looking at this blog right now- and now they've taken over our banks and our housing and financial institutions. Fascism and Police states are just up ahead...

but THANK GOD for Obama- he's heaven sent

BUT it's the beautiful WHITE people who are getting him there to get rid of those other DEVILS out of Office.

BUSH CHENEY RICE AND RUMSFELD AND MCCAIN ...Even Powell endorses OBama

And it was actually because of King and the Kennedy's connection that Black people began four decades of voting for liberals.
Tthe Government was spying on them before John and Jack Kennedy and the democratic party it's one of the reasons why the Kennedy's got shot. I suggest you leaving Texas and venturing out to the real world.

The Devil J Edgar Hoover (republican) has been in the FBI stirring up trouble since Calvin Coolidge (1924) he had King, the Kennedy's, and Malcolm x shot en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Edgar_Hoover

Martin Luther King was a Baptist minister.

"The Democrats held a narrow majority in Congress, and many of the Democratic seats were held by Southerners who opposed civil rights legislation. The president (Kennedy) needed the white Southern vote to win reelection in 1964. So Kennedy adopted a cautious approach to civil rights, emphasizing enforcement of existing laws over the creation of new ones."

"Kennedy pushed civil rights on many fronts. He ordered his attorney general to submit friends of the court briefs on behalf of civil rights litigants. He appointed African Americans to positions within his administration, named Thurgood Marshall to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, and supported voter registration drives."

"But such an approach was problematic. By not addressing civil rights publicly and comprehensively, Kennedy was forced to address racial incidents on a case by case basis -- often after they had escalated to violence. In May, 1961, racists attacked Freedom Riders traveling by bus from Washington, D.C. to Birmingham, Alabama. Kennedy sent federal marshals to protect the protesters. But even armed marshals could not guarantee protection."

Controversial Ad Links MLK, GOP False Assertion About Civil Rights Leader Angers Americans

When a black conservative group ran a radio ad proclaiming that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican, reaction was swift. "We've gotten some e-mails and telephone calls filled with vitriol," said Frances Rice, chairman of the National Black Republican Association. "They've called me Aunt Jemima, a sellout, a traitor to my race."

In the battle for the black electorate, liberals, who make up the overwhelming majority of black voters, have long disagreed with conservatives over ideology, public policy and economic strategies to better the lives of African Americans. But when conservatives placed the civil rights movement in a Republican context, African Americans said, they crossed a line.

"To suggest that Martin could identify with a party that affirms preemptive, predatory war, and whose religious partners hint that God affirms war and favors the rich at the expense of the poor, is to revile Martin," said the Rev. Joseph Lowery, the former president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which the slain civil rights leader helped establish.

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), who marched with King in the 1960s, called the ads an "insult to the legacy and the memory of Martin Luther King Jr." and "an affront to all that he stood for."

Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele (R), who is running for the U.S. Senate, denounced the King ad, and Donald E. Scoggins, president of Republicans for Black Empowerment and a former member of the association, said it was a terrible idea.

Republicans railed against the radio ads, with the sharpest criticism coming from former members of the black Republican association.

"The vast majority of black Republicans I know would not have approved of the ad," Scoggins said.

It is true that Southern Democrats, many of whom called themselves "Dixiecrats," blocked the social and political progress of black Southerners for decades. Among them was Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.), a former local leader in the Ku Klux Klan. Byrd has said he regrets his affiliation.

In 1960, King was arrested for trespassing during a sit-in and held in Georgia's Reidsville prison. Fearing for his son's life, Martin Luther King Sr. appealed to presidential candidate John F. Kennedy to secure his release.

When King was freed, his father vowed to deliver 10 million votes to the Democrat, even though Kennedy was only a reluctant supporter of civil rights. That began four decades of black people voting for liberals.

The younger King voted for Kennedy, and for Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson four years later. In that election, King publicly denounced the Republican candidate, Barry Goldwater.

Today, the vast majority of black voters are Democrats, including former ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young and former presidential hopeful Jesse L. Jackson, two former King aides.

That is why the ad was "a joke," said Christopher Arps, a former spokesman for Rice and the association. "Anyone with any sense knows that most black people were Republican at one time. But it's a far stretch to think that in the '60s Martin Luther King was a Republican."
