I wonder what MLK would've been like had he lived longer. I'm sure some would say he'd buy into all things on the progressive left, others would assume he'd be a hard line conservative about certain social issues (abortion, gay marriage etc.). In reality he probably would've fallen somewhere in between and angered some on both ends of that spectrum and would've been amazing.
MLK was a Republican!

CF3, wypipo would hate the crap out of MLK, he was a hardliner. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are pretty universally hated by non black folks and his message was a lot more strident than theirs. His messaging is most similar to Jeremiah Wright and there is no doubt about how whit purple feel about him.
I don't know what his party affiliation would be now, but it's pretty safe to say that the Republican and Democratic parties are much different today.
