Very true... MLK WAS a Republican, the GOP has paved the way for black Civil Rights, and has given them their freedom. Now the naysayers might say "Oh, well, that was 50 years ago but the Democratic party has changed!" Has it? Instead of blacks and other minorities suffering under slavery or segregation, it's now under socialism. And not only do a percentage of people suffer under those policies handed down from the lib Democrats, everybody does, so skin color really has nothing to do with it other than the fact if some blacks look at Obama and are voting for him purely on his pigment, then they really need to look at his policies and ask "How will this effect me and the rest of the country?"
