Here’s to celebrating a great man.
See you at the parade.
See you at the parade.
Happy MLK Day

Amen. One of my favorite conservatives.
I’m listening to KSBJ this morning and the DJ said there will be two MLK parades in Houston today. Being the inclusive person you are I would expect no less than for you to be front and center at both of them. Have a great day….
I’m not. I’m frequently stream KSBJ on my laptop while I work; I discovered the station years ago while in Houston on a business trip. I used to go to Houston fairly frequently but haven’t been there in nearly three years.
Well he's here, so I guess he would rather stay at home and huff a bag of cheetos.
Again.
First page of Google results tells me the Houston Public Library is closed today. That explain the pre-emptive 'I wont be here' claim. LOL
If he were alive today, I'd vote for him and the liberal left would, sadly, call him a token.
Disgusting.
Yes, an Uncle Tom racist. The irony of hating anyone that opposes you is as prejudiced as hating someone over skin color.

It does make you wonder, sadly, what he would think of the dem party today. Would he view them as having improved on their racism, or would it be even worse?
I mean, we went from electing a known racist as president in LBJ, to today electing* a known racist in Hiden.
Not sure the party has gotten any better in dealing with its racism. I wonder what Dr King would think, but I sadly fear he would agree.
Well after seeing this list of democratic evil all over the country, I suspect Dr King would feel the dem party was just as racist in the 60s as it is today.
It proves to me that the push is for equity, not equality. MLK certainly didn't want a hand out he just wanted the same opportunities.
You people??? 😂
Point your finger all you like. Your party now refers to people with ideas like MLK's as tokens. Own it...."you people" are the modern face of bigotry in America.
The 'you people' line confused me as well. The 'dixiecrats' that used to populate this state were long ago run off by the moral conservatives. We haven't see that kind of racist filth here in half a century.
I think some of them may have relocated to the Houston area.
"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."
While the racist Socialist Rats want them to be judged by the color of their skin INSTEAD of by the content of their character....
In my world, the color of any person's skin does not matter,,,, while content of any person's character is the important trait.

Just remember it was Biden himself who would deny a black person their racial identity if they don't vote dem. No racism there.
Dems care about black votes and couldn't give a shit about black people. If they did there'd be national outrage over the slaughter of young black men every weekend. The only black person worth a shit to dems are George Floyd types, the kind that can be exploited like hell for a cause.
Pants have rights and he’s violated a pair of those already 😂😂😂
Remember, everything is a dry run with the dems. They have tried to paint anything and everything they disagree with as being hate speech or a hate crime.
And the party has always hated anything related to God and Christianity.
Are you trying to prove the entire south is racist, not just Alabama?
I take offense at that. Ask Sunburnt about his Alabama experiences.
LOL at the ONE from Oregon.

Well, if you deny somebody’s rights by misquoting the Bible, then yeah, that is a hate crime. That’s what the KKK and South Africa did. Im not surprised you are so open about it, you bigot.
God loves all of His children.
And you think that behavior was restricted to the American south? Because the north changed, somewhat, sooner than the south? Get over yourself.
Here's another analogy. Britain has a history of looking down its nose at US over slavery...the entire US. Their justification??? They outlawed slavery before we did. That's their moral high ground. Nevermind that Britain was responsible for much of, if not most, slave trade prior to their change of heart (mostly because they became industrialized and it no longer floated their economy).
Now we have the northern states in this country doing the same towards the south. The similarities are uncanny...became illegal sooner up north (for the same reasons as UK) and the vast majority of slaves entered this country through northern ports.
Either way, just stop. I don't live in 1960's Alabama. I actually know and interact (as in at the dinner table or in my free time) with the people that you pretend to champion.
Here's the rub...I "believe the Bible" and I don't hate homosexuals. Biden said I violate their rights by believing in the Bible?
Now imagine if Trump said anything similar about any religion other than Christianity. BOOM...amirite???
Good for you. I just laugh when white people from Alabama act like they’ve solved the racism problem, or try to deflect by saying others were/are just as bad. Funny, I never hear black people say how great things are in Alabama.
Sorry, that’s your legacy. Own it. Alabama racists didn't suddenly stop being racists in the 1960s
PS. Hell, they didn’t have their first black football player until the 1970s.

No, no he didn’t. Biden believes in the Bible. He just doesn’t believe in using it to deny peoples God given rights.
Quit deflecting.
And quit defending that bigot.

Homosexuality is a sin. The Bible is quite clear on that.
The Bible is also quite clear that killing babies via abortion is a sin.
You have a lot of hate in your heart and have drifted from God's path. I hope you come back for your own sake.
Hey look, the other homophobe shows up. Shocking.
Being a Welcher is a sin. Repent.
One in Massachusetts as well. Yes, there is racism everywhere, I saw it in New York City and in Los Angeles.
Derp. I’m antiAbortion.
Too bad your ilk don’t GAS about those babies after they are born.
Deflect deflect deflect. Of course there is. It’s just more heavily concentrated and accepted in Alabama.

Who acted like they solved the race problem? There you go again, climbing a tree to lie.
I'm responsible for me...and it is a fact that the culture in 2022 Alabama is NOT like 1960's Alabama. There's still a great deal of racism north of the Mason-Dixon line as well, goofball. I guarantee you that the races mix more in Alabama than wherever you live.
It's your legacy too; own it. How do you not get that? This time I think you were stupid by accident.
This line, specifically, illustrates your ignorance on the subject. Good Lord.
Deflecting? Read the title of the article again. If that doesn't work, have someone read it to you. Hope that helps.
I wasn't defending anyone, including the bigot that you voted for. I was making an unassailable point that you are now deflecting from.
I'll try different words...imagine if any president said anything like Biden did about any other religion other than Christianity. That simplify things for you sweetheart?
You keep missing the point lover.
He wasn’t criticizing Christianity. He was criticizing people who use the Bible to discriminate against homosexuals, like your buddy Ghost.
See the difference?
