Republicans will remember them for ages to come. They have literally helped save the country. For that, I'm sure most republicans are so thankful for. So what if MLK's relatives don't like it.
King's comments are from 1963.
In 1965 The Voting Rights Act was passed, and eliminating the Fillibuster wasn't needed. The Fillibuster provides needed checks and balances on our elected officials. The 1965 law was also held up in the Supreme Court as lawful, and constitutional. Proof that the system does work.
I assume that I'm not the only one that notices the Dems are now lockstep referring to the filibuster as racist, and pretty openly equating anyone that doesn't want it done away with as being a racist.
when MLK was alive the right put the man under surveillance for communist subversive activities, anybody over age 60 can renumber the man was one of those destroying our country as described by the right, i do
"those beliefs" as you call them were the mans legacy, he lost much popular support for coming out against the Vietnam war the right is cherry picking its history once again
I think I've confused you.
The #Squad takes great delight not in furthering what is "accepted" universally as his positive legacy - his "I have a Dream" and others - but in now telling us that he had what we consider communist ideas, and that we should follow those too.
as to whether it was the "right" who did these things, I can only point to this:
Johnson continued the FBI's wiretapping of Martin Luther King, Jr. that had been previously authorized by the Kennedy administration under Attorney General Robert Kennedy. As a result of listening to the FBI's tapes, remarks on King's personal lifestyle were made by several prominent officials, including Johnson, who once said that King was a "hypocritical preacher." Johnson also authorized the tapping of phone conversations of others, including the Vietnamese friends of a Nixon associate.
