@MrBEB123 Do you have the links to thomas jefferson saying this country was only meant for whites?

[michaelchristopherj]

@AKAcronny True, but MLK WAS a democratic socialist not communist.

[MrBEB123]

The phase "Liberty and Justice for all" was conceived by the White founding fathers to apply to Whites and was in no way intended to apply to anything other than the White race. Thomas Jefferson who was the main architect of the Constitution and a slave owner stated that he did not think a multi racial society would work or be beneficial and his words were censored when placed on the wall in the Capitol building in Washington D.C..

[MrBEB123]

@AKAcronny MLK being a Communist can easily be "backed up" or better put proven because MLK stated that was his preferred form of Government. It is well known and well documented that M. L. King was not a great believer in Democracy and his main goal was not spreading Christianity which he rarely talked about but rather advancing Blacks by trying to pressure Whites into moving more to the left of center of the political spectrum.

@MrBEB123 Yes, it was concocted in the decade leading to one of the worst human extermination programs: The Holocaust. Yup, keep telling yourself that it was "contrived," and we'll end up with another gas chambers rolling down the streets of a city called The Forgotten Lessons Of History. Yes, yes, indeed, let us forget about several hundreds of years of brutal slavery and claim it was "contrived" notion with no prior causation.

Someone give MrBeeB123 his lollipop back.

@ninuxy The highly contrived word racist was invented by the Jew / Communist Leon Trotsky in the 1930's to silence critics and end any kind of meaningful discussion about race. The word he invented has no intelligent historical or religious meaning and is just one more of the many put down words the left likes to use to try to win arguments without any convincing use of facts.

[ninuxy]

@AKAcronny He opposed it because as a reactionary anti-government president, he saw any federal holiday as an assault to his tenet of government "spending," which ironically, he ended up increasing the national debt by 300% in 8 years. Nonetheless, it wasn't because he had an apathy towards MLK. The bill initially was proposed by labor unions--maybe that had something to do with Reagan's going googoo-ga-ga over its merit.

[AKAcronny]

@ninuxy Reagan was against making MLK's birthday a holiday. He hinted that he was a communist, though he couldn't back it up. He only did this after his hand was forced by social and political pressure.

[ninuxy]

Out of everything, Reagan wasn't racist and I think it's a rare quality in the batshit loony right wingers of today. I salute you for that sir.
