MLK colluded with the Communist Party to affect change that Khrushchev himself said would allow Russia to take our country without firing a shot.

I feel like I'm starting to understand the alt-right because now I want MLK on the cover of the chemistry book too just to make OP madder
Maybe Bill Nye or Albert Hoffman, the creator of LSD, instead. Gotta at least keep it somewhat relevant.

I can't believe he asked whether the government provides "civil rights?" I guess his Government textbook left out the Constitution, and specifically, the Bill of Rights.

The OP's recent topic history is funny. On one hand he's got a topic with this picture posted:



And that's in between the current thread and this one:

Where were the famous people on the phones last year when So. Louisiana families lost 100,000 houses? Please remind me if they did it and I missed it, but it seems the pain and tradgedy of a bunch of mostly white people in So Louisiana wasn't of any concern to these folks...or Obama while he golfed in Martha's Vineyard.. Pathetic double standard
I wonder if the OP realizes that he's got the same snowflake mentality that his picture is making fun of.

How about Random Dude on Surfboard? At least it's not MLK Jr. on the surfboard, as far as I can tell.

How dare you lecture us about history when you purposely ignore the Declaration of Independence and that the Bill of Rights did not originally apply to the states (in that those were limits on the federal government).

And for all your concern about the leftist indoctrination of this government textbook, you should probably consider learning about the government yourself, because clearly a simple but uber important concept of our government one the first amendment is something you have trouble understanding.

Here was your thread after Kathy Griffin's stupid and despicable but not Illegal, headless Trump magazine cover was released:

Why is Kathy Griffin not being arrested?

And how does that negate what I said and what relevancy does it have anyways since we are talking about a textbook entitled:

Robert E. Lee comes to mind as someone more influential in the role of government in our society than MLK.

Those same rights from our creator mentioned in the Dec of Ind were enshrined for protection FROM a nefarious federal govt.

All of that is integral to American govt.

He was a minister.

So yes, I'm triggered due to the implied non-separation of church and state message.
