If you watched last night’s Presidential debate, you probably had a few laughs and chuckles depending on which candidate you support. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s eldest son, Martin Luther King III also watched the debate and gave his opinion about it.

In particular he shared thoughts on what he thinks his beloved father would have wanted to hear Clinton and Trump debate about a little more and that is a discussion about how to stop Black people from being shot by police officers, which he also offered a solution for.

Overall, MLK III thinks Hillary Clinton did great job and he basically gave Donald Trump and A for effort because he said he did better than what he thought he would have, but that Clinton still was the best.

When asked if he thought his dad would have been taken seriously had he run for President today, MLK III set the record straight real quick:

“Well you would have no choice…he won the Republican primary so you would have to take him seriously.”

Check out the video clip below:

Many then-Republicans (including MLK Jr.’s dad, MLK Sr.) switched to Democrats and many then-Democrats switched to the Republican party because the Republican party during that time, was against liberating oppressed people, was against the civil rights movement, and fought to continue legal segregation, while the Democratic party became the opposite in their fight led by JFK and MLK Jr. for equality and civil rights.

So that’s the Democratic party became what it is today and the Republican party is no longer the same as it was when Martin Luther King Jr. and many others who fought for civil rights were affiliated with it. This info isn’t widely taught throughout U.S. history, but it is quite an interesting old school fact.

ILOSM family what, if anything, would you have liked to see discussed at the debate?
