MLK was killed 53 years ago. His fight for Black voting rights has yet to be won

We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
On April 4, 1968, a White gunman shot and killed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. More than 50 years later, the fight he waged to ensure Black Americans had equal access to vote is still very much alive.

We are now seeing a wave of voter suppression measures championed by Republican elected officials, with the Brennan Center for Justice reporting that 361 restrictive bills have been introduced in 47 states. The most notable (for now, at least) are in Georgia and Texas. Let's not pretend that race is not part of this GOP effort. As King pointedly declared at the conclusion of the 1965 civil-rights march from Selma to Montgomery, "The roots of racism and the denial of the right to vote" were intertwined.

Then the goal was expressly about maintaining White power. Today, it's more about maintaining Republican power, but given that the GOP is overwhelmingly a White party it's not much different.

The Party of Trump has been proved to be solidly racist, but the Republican membership as a whole are just selfish assholes. This is pure economics to them; getting as much of the pie for themselves and fucking over anyone who gets in their way.

The Georgia voter suppression laws suppress those in poorer areas than in upper middle class and higher. Race is a part of it, but mostly it's about GREENBACKS.

The love of money is the true evil in the Republican Party....and many in the Democratic Party.

MLK was murdered while supporting the sanitation workers strike by a peckerwood and was a vocal critic of the war in Vietnam

Although I never met MLK I was friends with john Lewis and Elijah Cummings they would laugh at an uneducated asswipe such as yourself


However, a contrasting element exists in King’s thinking. While he never completely abandoned his commitment to traditional American principles, towards the end of his life King embraced views which were more in line with progressives like Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson than Abraham Lincoln or the Founders. For example, King advocated for extensive anti-poverty and wealth redistribution programs.

Black people can vote all the same as white people can.

Oh, and fuck your racism, racist.
