In 1983, Republican President Ronald Reagan signed the bill to make the 3rd Monday in January a holiday in honor of Baptist Pastor, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was gunned down by a DEMOCRAT.

Rev. King, Jr., stated:

“I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world … as a marvelous example of what can be done … how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy.”

“Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality.”

“I solemnly pledge to do my utmost to uphold the fair name of the Jews.”

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1964. In his acceptance speech in Oslo, Norway, King acknowledged: “… profound recognition that nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time — the need for man to overcome oppression and violence WITHOUT resorting to violence and oppression.”

On April 16, 1963, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote:

“As the Apostle Paul carried the gospel of Jesus Christ … so am I compelled to carry the gospel …

One day the South will know that when these disinherited children of God sat down at lunch counters they were standing up for what is best in the American dream and for the most sacred values in our Judeo-Christian heritage.”

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. , as well as South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, were influenced by the German church leader Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who resisted Hitler’s National Socialist Workers’ Party.

Bonhoeffer was himself influenced by the Black preacher, Adam Clayton Powell Sr., pastor of Harlem’s Abyssinian Baptist Church, once the largest Protestant church in America.

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., was also influenced by Henry David Thoreau, who wrote in his book, In Civil Disobedience (1849):

“That government is best which governs least”

Rev. King was influenced by Booker T. Washington, having attended the high school named for him.

Booker T. Washington founded Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, and wrote Up From Slavery (1901), in which he stated:

“I resolved that I would permit no man, no matter what his color might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.

Rev. King proclaimed August 28, 1963:

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed:

‘We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal.’

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood …

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character …

I have a dream … where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.”

Content of character is lost these days.
 
Today's Left would cancel Dr. King

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

This quote, from the Rev. Martin Luther King’s most famous speech, is probably his best-known utterance. It was surely his most consequential.

Until recently, it formed the nation’s racial conscience, helping all Americans of goodwill aspire to a society where one’s race is an incidental characteristic, not the essential end-all-be-all that determines how one’s life will proceed.

That was the goal, anyway, until the pretend successors to King’s civil rights movement decided to throw his entire career into the dumpster and adopt racial essentialism.

Today, with the rise of the toxic academic ideology known as critical race theory, the idea of a color-blind society, in which people are truly judged by merit and character over skin color, is no longer even a desirable goal.

Indeed, the academic writings of critical race theory explicitly denounce color blindness as a white supremacist ideal that “preserves White privilege” and is “equivalent to emphasizing the plight of Nazis and the plight of White supremacists.”

It would probably come as some surprise to Dr. King that he is a white supremacist, but this is the state of the left today.

Reverend King once explained that in “the quiet recesses” of his heart, he is “fundamentally a clergyman, a Baptist preacher.”

True. He'd be vilified by today's DEMOCRATS....just as he was vilified by DEMOCRATS while he was alive. One of them murdered him.

Yeah but they have actually fooled people into thinking they are friends of black Americans.

Massive tax-payer funded stipends can have that effect. Roman despots used the same tactic to win favor with the poor, and it bankrupted the Empire eventually.

King's dream lived from the late 60s until Obama. It lived and flourished for 4 decades. I thank God I got to see it.

It's still alive in a lot of people in my town. There's a saying among crackers and blacks in FL: "We're all in this thing together, might as well make the best of it."
