? Tory! ! ? Wtf ...?
Firstly 'Tory' means the british conservative party - so its a meaningless lable to put on MLK (cant think he would have much of an interest in european intergration of the corn laws).
Do you mean 'republican' or 'conservative'?
If so - not by any stretch of the imagination. Christian Socialist probably closest label.

At this point if I were an A-Level tutor I'd be worried that my students...
A. Were spelling tory 'torie'
B. Thinking that Tory meant 'socialist'

So many particulars. So many questions.
you could do your own research you know.

Socialist. He was murdered in the midst of a campaign in support of a garbage-collectors' strike. Also insisted on condemning the war in Vietnam when many of his cohorts in the civil rights movement thought that was a distraction from the main issue. MLK saw the connection between imperialism and racism more clearly than most.
Bullshit. But you knew that already.

No amount of cajolery...

no, the tory believes in protecting the rights of societies dominant faction/group/etc to fuck us all up the arse. Luther may have been a bit socially conservative but his ideal of equality is and was not out of step with liberalist views. Socialistic movements like the Panthers and the opposite end with the NAACP are an entirely separate consideration
You literally have no sense of humour.
I literally do, but I thought you were a humorless wanker because you thought I was one. Yes you did, you can't deny it. I am now revising my opinion though.
On the other hand... what the fuck are you on about now, you sad little man?

There are 'Tories' outside of Britain, including a Conservative Party in the US.
I was trying to be friendly. Christ knows why, I won't bother again.

The Krew's been a bit tetchy the past few days.
It's the nature of the medium innit. But Alex B should appreciate my magnanimity a bit more, what with him having started an entire thread dedicated to telling me to fuck off. A less generous person would have persecuted him mercilessly and indefinitely, but I'm bigger than that.

Where was that? And it's good to hear that you are a big person.
Here. It's pretty funny actually. Good old Rubber Buccaneer, he was one of the first Urbanites I met. And I'm not literally big, but I have a big heart...

Impressive that it only got three posts in before getting shut down.
Well it was pretty obviously the work of a wanker. So obviously so that I didn't even bother taking my revenge. But lately he's struck me as alright. But today I've decided he's a wanker again. And revenge is a dish best served cold after all....
