“Wouldn’t he be disgusted with Dems crying racism anytime somebody criticizes our 44th place prez.”
You mean like during the 2008 election when Fox News pondered if the US was ready for a black President, referred to Michele as Barack’s “baby mama”, and later pondered if Barack was “black enough” to be President? Or perhaps when trolls keep referring to the President as Muslim and/or Kenyan? It may all be done in the name of cheap partisan politics, but still employs an element of racism to get the desired results.
Fox was reporting on statements made by black leaders about whether he was black enough. The “baby mama” comment was a poorly crafted joke. The producer that came up with it was eventually fired, and now works for CBS. Please direct your ire toward them for deliberately, knowingly hiring someone who would say such a thing.
Ah there you go again Jase ole boy; can’t come up with a decent argument so you resort to that same tired ole horse , racism, whenever anyone has the effrontery to suggest your beloved Obama doesn’t in fact walk on water.
In the period before he died, Dr. King was moving to the left — not only had he made a stand against the War in Vietnam, he was moving towards a more radical economic analysis. That’s why he was supporting the garbage workers.
Martin Luther King Day, is a day when we honor the MAN, but choose to IGNORE his PRINCIPLES and IDEALS.
Martin Luther King DIDNOT say this: “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 (EXCEPTWHENAPPLYINGFORJOBS or COLLEGE) but by the content of their character.”
So why do we seem to think he did?
Yet today, Jesse Jackson (King’s chief aide during those tumultuous civil rights protests) and virtually every other black leader advocate for programs and policies that judge by skin color alone, regardless character.
Called "the Thomas Nast of his time" by The National Review magazine, Payne is an informed journalist whose investigative writing has also made national headlines.

It’s quite evident that o does not embody MLK.

Off to work today. Hope everyone enjoys this day.

@Ms. Ima
Ditto that. I would add though, that I think MLK would be disappointed in the direction America has gone.

And how do we get to that day he was dreaming about? By pretending that slavery never happened, or that it left no problems to be corrected?

MLK was got. That’s a painful pun, Payne, whether you completely intended it or not…

Aside from the meandering posts here, the toon itself is surprisingly neutral (if not supportive of MLK) from Mr. Payne.
