Would John Lewis be a civil rights icon,
if Democrat James Earl Ray had not shot Martin Luther King in Memphis ?

Yes it was a Democrat that killed M L K.

I don't get the point of threads like this

Lewis is a civil rights icon, for good reason. He's a shitty congressman and can't see anything other than race (in part because he got the shite beaten out of him for having the wrong color skin).

That happens to white people in big cities all the time. How come they're not rich, too?

John lewis being an icon of the civil rights era does not make him immune from criticism or gives him right to act a fool.

He's done little to push to make life better for African Americans. He looks to keep them shackled to the government tit. He only served his self interests and for those that keep him in power.

He basically has reached clown status. Congrats John lewis.

He marched and got arrested many times. What should that get you?

Jail time.
