He would've lost badly, but have been very admirable. The problem is that he'd have to beat Nixon in the primaries because he was a Republican.

His father was yes, but I'm not sure of MLK's party registration.

Didn't MLK support JFK in 1960?

I'm not sure what you're getting at by supporting JFK. Are you trying to change history?

He would've made a good candidate in the 80's but I highly doubt he would have liked to see how dependent the black community has become on welfare and handouts. It's almost like their community has become completely dependent on the government. What about independence which is what King really wanted.

A black civil rights leader who's an open socialist? With all the wiretapping and files on MLK from the FBI at his disposal, Nixon would have had a field day tearing him down.

535-3

That's a good point.
