I don't believe for a second that MLK III is carrying out what his father wanted. I've no doubt he also supports BLM, which have obliterated the teachings and views of MLK Jr.
If Martin L. King JR was alive now…… I bet he'd be so disappointed. All MLKJ's time, energy, emotion, boldness, courage and FIGHT he had in him is being back stepped. Imagine if he was alive today and these kids of color in these colleges wanted a segregated place from the white kids. And just f*ck democracy, anyone can vote just because and with no ID, considering the fact there are more white people in the US than ppl of color so yeahhhhhh. What it boils down to is the Dems have convinced POC that they are oppressed and victims and then turned around and have used and continue using their purposely constructed victim mentality against them by SEGREGATING us AGAIN and trying to push that vote nonsense so more white people vote because in the end like I said their are more white ppl than Black. I believe there are racists out there, however not enough to do anything to oppress or trouble a whole race of people. We were coexisting just fine. Civil rights along with women's rights have come a long way and continue evolving in a positive way, and the US was a beautiful place. So now take a bunch of old power hungry miserable assholes and give them the tools to mess crap up for them to gain more money and power……(media, censorship, big tech) wallah!!! Because in the end there will ALWAYS be that 1%!!! So turn good people against other good people all while blaming it on a color of skin. Then the not racist white people get sick of hearing white ppl this and white ppl that and eventually develop anger and a sense of hatred for PoC because white ppl are being attacked for no reason and the same goes the other way. Plus add high crime, break down the justice system, lies after lies and constant victimhood propaganda in the mix and here we are. Why Black people even consider for a second that a bunch of old white politicians have the right to use their skin color as an excuse for anything is beyond me honestly. My point here is the truth to what's happening is sooooooo obvious that if MLK was alive today it would surely break his heart and put him in the grave all over again. It's truly a sad time in the world. Rant over.
The voting bill the Democratic Party wants to push through will create fraud.
There will be no way to stop it.
The lying media has really gone over to the criminals.
Why aren’t we fighting for the right to not show ID when buying beer? Collecting a paycheck? How are we supposed to enforce the age restriction on Tabacco without seeing proof of age?
Snobby rich azz people are always complaining about something. There nobody's, just feeding off their last name!!!
Wait until he finds out he already has the right to vote. SURPRISE!!
some of these comments attacking Dr. Kings family is actually hilarious because it shows how ignorant and misinformed you really are lol
Bet there are thousands of dislikes on this!!!!
#FJB
Who in the hell doesn’t have the right to vote! Non-citizens they shouldn’t be voting in a USA election!!
News flash: you already have the right to vote if you're over 18
Martin Luther King lll is no Martin Luther King Jr. you are a disgrace to his father’s name. He run around repeating Democrats lies and misinformation. It is a racist insult to say black people are too stupid and incompetent to be able to get a I.d. after 60 years of receiving the right to vote. If you still do not have an I.d. you are a damn fool who should not vote.
ID and holiday to vote.
Puppets that are scared of being Ghetto Trash so they sold out
MLK was a republican, what his family is representing is democrat ideology, they're literally spitting on his grave .
NO — FEDERALIZED ELECTIONS ARE UNCONSTITIONAL; A STATE MATTER! BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE A DISGRACE AND THIS MLK FAMILY AS WELL ; MARTIN WOULD NOT BE A DEMOCRAT EVER!
Exploiting his name for an agenda, wake up folks.
"More people voted in the last Federal election than in the history of the country" also "Peoples aren't able to vote and being suppressed…"
Lost any respect I might have had for this man. He is on tv propagating this obvious lie🤦ðŸÂ½â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ
Using a 13 year old is also disgraceful
Milking his name at it's finest.
The idea that black people can't do what your average 16 year old does, and get an ID, is racist and certainly goes against the equality that MLK was striving for. Requiring an ID helps the citizenry have more faith in our elections, which certainly in this day in age, is more important than ever.
How about we require an ID for the ones counting the votes….
Leftists are the ones counting… That has to change.
Read the bill, it's a how to cheat and keep the Dims in Power bill!
I don't know of any legal American citizen whose voting rights are denied. The left wants to use indoctrination and lies to cheat again!
I thought black folk were allowed to vote. This is so wrong.
Stupid mthrfkrs, mlk is rolling over in his grave. Atleast 13% of the 13.4% of the population all have a iD to vote, how else would they be able to cash those taxpayer funded government checks. How does making it harder for you while making it harder for illegal voters.
Be ashamed of yourself, mlk is.
Why tf are we still fighting for voting rights IN 2022?? 😂 You wanna talk about some real sht that's for black people/minorities and affects everybody?? Go gather a couple thousand people and protest gang violence/crime. THATS WHAT MLK WOULD DO RIGHT NOW IN 2022! THAT IS WHAT THREATENS HIS IDEALS TODAY AND WHAT HE GAVE HIS LIFE TO BUILD! BLM is scared to do it but just look at the ridiculous amounts of killings whether innocent victims or not. That's what I'd fight for in 2022.
Not a single person of color is denied the right to vote…
You have to show an ID to get into federal buildings. Take a flight. You need a government ID to drive. Pay taxes. Go to a hospital… Etc
The only reason not to have one to vote is to commit fraud…..the end
MLK is rolling in his grave over these SELLOUTS
It seems 81 million voters are having regrets. Let's go Brandon!
These bills have poison pills that massively increase corruption limits and raise the financial bar for 3rd party representation. This severely limits who the American electorate can even vote for and railroads the nation into the moderate corporate parties that MLK Jr. warned us about.
They are utterly stupid. Marching for voter Rights???? .
I'm a new citizen. I registered to vote . I stood in line. I showed my ID. I voted. No one stopped me. I'm black. But we all know that's not what the voting right bill is , Dems want anyone to vote nevermind their status in America. I don't agree with that as I worked hard and payed a lot of money to became a citizen. It's a honor. They truly the party of destruction.
….the Radical Left never stops….relentless……
I demand the entire world speak English
There is Nothing standing in the way of legal citizens voting. Illegal persons do not and should not have the right to vote!
Ah yes! Dr. King, that great advocate for random, unsecure voting regardless of citizenship or identification. I believe that was a big part of his epic "I Have a Dream" speech, if I remember correctly.
The degree that I give the slightest damn what the descendents of Dr. King have to say correlates directly with the degree to which they actually agree with the man himself. As soon as they stray from that by an inch, they might as well be my obnoxious neighbors down the street or any other random people. I could not possibly be made to care less than I currently do what their opinion happens to be.
They really tryin to pretend like it's 1950 🤦â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ
Your big Head ðŸâ€â€Ã‚£Ã¯Â¸Â focused on the wrong thing. If we cannot get anything by the collective your vote really doesn't count.
The phantoms these people dream up. I suppose the King family will be searching for Bigfoot next.
I'm just here for all the idiots that thinks that requiring an ID to vote is the problem and make it their talking point when clearly they haven't looked further into the issue but will probably claim to know more than everyone in the universe….
Calling this a "Voting Rights Issue" is disrespectful to the intelligence of your viewers
Your father would be ashamed of you for using his legacy to advance stalin like control of our elections.
Ask how he feels knowing that MLK would consider him a disgrace?
How far we've come from judgement based on character to special treatment based on skin color.
So disappointing.
Who in this country that is eligible is having trouble voting???
So it’s ok to ask for a vaccination card and I.D. To eat at a restaurant but not to vote!!?? Tell that little girl she is is up there hollering for absolutely nothing at all. So pathetic it’s disgusting!! 🤨🤨
WE are laser focused on stopping your attempts to cheat.
EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND CAN EASILY DO IT IF THEY WANT. THIS IS A SCAM FOR THE TAKE OVER OF ALL ELECTIONS BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY KNOW AMERICANS (ALL AMERICANS) WANT TO KICK THEM OUT OF OFFICE!
Even the King extended family has gone woke, channeling the left’s propaganda through media on Dr. King’s holiday. Pathetic.
Lies, Lies, Lies!
This is so pathetic that the children and grandchildren of MLK are literally lying and propagandizing for the corrupt democrats. MLK would be against all of this because the man was someone of character and principles!
