Billboard Claiming MLK in GOP Angers Black Activists
A billboard proclaiming that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican has stirred a religious and political hornets’ nest in Houston, where a church leader is trying to draw black voters into the Republican Party.
But the founder of RagingRepublicans.org, the black conservative group that sponsored the sign, told FOXNews.com that the sign was designed to get blacks to rethink their political affiliation — about 95 percent of blacks voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential elections — and that this is just the beginning. He said a radio campaign that focuses on “the destructive nature of liberalism” is forthcoming.
“We think it’s imperative that [the GOP] try and attract more people from the communities of color to vote their values — to vote conservative,” said Claver Kamau-Imani, who heads the Corinthian Christian Empowerment Church, a small house church in Houston.
What’s more, he said, the sign is accurate.
