Wow, a black American who lived entirely before the GOP implemented the Southern Strategy was a Republican? That’s pretty wild.
Conservatives don’t believe in the party switch or whatever it’s called.
We should take down confederate statues since the democrats were founded by slaveowners
That’s funny, because the GOP officially apologized to the NAACP not that long ago for doing it.
It was an interesting time of transition for both parties. There’s a lot of nuance that a professional historian could parse out about it but, unfortunately it flys over most people’s heads because they don’t want nuance, they just want a cheap missile to lob at their opponent. It makes me disappointed because I enjoy learning history and always want to understand the full scope of what happened.
This could be the day you enlighten someone and make someone realize they enjoy learning about history!
Basically why I wanted to be a public school teacher.
Deepest condolences.
Good observation. My dreams are pretty much dead at this point.

If MLK talked about about liberals being bad then he must have been a Republican because all politics is just a binary of Democrats and Republicans
I sincerely hate that an American asked me “Are you liberal or conservative?”, to which I responded “I’m neither.” Then he said “Okay, what are you then?”, to which I responded “I’m a communist.”
And unsurprisingly… he responded with “That’s liberal.”
Yikes.
“Both of your options were liberal”
If there’s ONE thing I make clear to those around me, is that a communist is NOT a liberal. At least in the cold war a red could get properly called a red.
To be fair most “communists” are liberals.
I’m not talking about communism. What I’m talking about is far beyond communism. My inspiration didn’t come from Karl Marx; my inspiration didn’t come from Engels; my inspiration didn’t come from Trotsky; my inspiration didn’t come from Lenin. Yes, I read Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital a long time ago, and I saw that maybe Marx didn’t follow Hegel enough. He took his dialectics, but he left out his idealism and his spiritualism. And he went over to a German philosopher by the name of Feuerbach, and took his materialism and made it into a system that he called “dialectical materialism.” I have to reject that.
What I’m saying to you this morning is communism forgets that life is individual. Capitalism forgets that life is social. And the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism, but in a higher synthesis. It is found in a higher synthesis that combines the truths of both.
MLK (1967)
Oh shit MLK was a techbro TIL
Marx lacked idealism? That’s what set him apart!
Rare MLK L.
MLK ULTRA L
jesus christ this is incredibly cringe
Death to America
He did “not left, not right, forward” but for real
MLK: Enlightened Centrist
All my man wanted was some liberation theology.
Should’ve read Engel’s letters on historical materialism too.

If you think about it, Donald Trump is basically the modern day Abraham Lincoln
Of course he was a republican, bro was a christian fundie 💀
I hope you’re embarrassed by how bad this comment is.
Before Jimmy Carter, most evangelicals didn’t vote.
And with your help we can make sure they don’t ever do it again.
The Republican party was the party of equality, of Lincoln!
WAS…
