I am, but think that it's sorta out lived it's usefulness since it almost reinforces racial differences and adds fuel to the fire.

Hell, just look at this racists on this forum. ;)

Besides, it ain't like he is an angel.

Schools in the great state of Kansas get the day off.

I'm off. I'm spending the day removing the rats nest in yonder FB.

Legal holiday in CA. Half the blacks and 3/4s of the Liberals would throw a collective hissy-fit if we just got rid of MLK Day.

We don't have it here. We swapped it for Christmas eve.

Sup: UW's closed on monday.

I, however, will be at work.

Seriously, coming from the most racist fucking state at the most racist fucking point in time. I wonder what actually was going on.

I got the day off from work. No banking going on tomorrow=me with not much to do.

In any case, it's a good time to remember that not just 40 years ago people were some cold ass bastards. Everyone's a racist, but some of the shit that us honky's did up until the 60's was just purely fucked.

Four Things you didn't know about 'Dr. Martin Luther' King:

1. His name wasn't Martin Luther. It was Michael. It was decided 'Martin Luther' had a more prominent ring to it, so he went by that. He never legally changed his name. To this day, he lived and died as Michael King.

2. While working on his dissertation for his doctoral degree at Boston University, he heavily plagiarized from another author who had done research on a subject similar to King's. An academic committee later found that over half of King's work was plagiarized, yet would not revoke his doctrine. King was dead by this time, and the committee ruled that revoking the title would serve no purpose. It was also discovered that King's famous "I Have A Dream" speech was also not his own. He stole it from a sermon by Archibald Carey, a popular black preacher in the 1950's.

3. King was under FBI surveillance for several years (until he died) due to his ties with communist organizations throughout the country. King accepted money from the organizations to fund his movements. In return, King had to appoint communist leaders to run certain districts of his SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference), who then could project their communist ideas to larger audiences. A federal judge in the 60's ruled that the FBI files on King's links to communism to remain top-secret until 2027. Senator Jesse Helms appealed to the Supreme Court in 1983 to release the files, so the current bill in the Senate to create the Martin Luther King Federal Holiday could be abolished. He was denied.

4. One of King's closest friends, Rev. Ralph Abernathy, wrote a book in 1989 in which he talked about King's obsession with white prostitutes. King would often use church donations to have drunken sex parties, where he would hire two to three white prostitutes, occasionally beating them brutally. This has also been reported by the FBI agents who monitored King. King was married with four children.

Monday was "Martin Luther King" Day. A day when this country came to a screeching halt so we can have parades and memorials to honor this man, a man that most of the world views as a saint for his role in the civil rights movement.

No other public holiday in the United States honors a single individual. Of all the great leaders in our Nation's history - none of them have their own holiday. All of our great war heroes share Memorial Day. All of our great presidents share President's Day. Yet King - a man who was a phony, a cheater, a traitor, and a sexual degenerate - gets a day of his own.

I have a big problem with that.

I'm not trying to take anything away from African Americans, but I am trying to point out that (1) the vast majority of people are sorely mistaken about Michael King, and (2) that reverse discrimination is blatantly obvious everywhere you look today. Been watching the news lately? President Bush just got himself in some hot water when he spoke out against the University of Michigan for giving black applicants precedence over more qualified white applicants. Now Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, and other black leaders are trashing him, without a doubt planning how they can use this against his re-election campaign. Think about that - Bush just made a stand for equal human rights, but low and behold - in this case they don't want to be treated as equals. Make up your minds.

As a white heterosexual male, I feel like I belong to one of the more abused ethnic groups in this country today. Can I do anything about it? Absolutely not. If I dare speak out I'll get labeled a racist, harassed by the media, subsequently lose my job, and never be able to show my face in public again. But what I will do is send out this email to as many people I know in hopes that when you're watching the news Monday evening, and you see our politicians falling all over themselves to be filmed in a black church somewhere, you might stop and ask yourself - what about us?

Do you have any idea the amount of shit that the CIA and FBI lied about during that time to quell the Civil Right's movement? Everything you just typed has the potential to be compltely falsified.

I copied all of that. But I think that link at the bottom is the truth.

I just find it hard to believe that Michael King was so different from Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton.

MLK obviously has more value as a symbol then as a man. what we are celebrating has very little to do with the actual man himself. no man is a saint, after all.

I guess you missed the point of his life. He was'nt supposed to be a saint.
He gave America its only example of how problems can be solved without violence.

...but you guys are right, fuck that. I say we head into North Korea guns blazing. We gotta "shock and awe" their ass so we can have full on nuclear warfare. That will make things in region so much better.:hide:

Blah, not this again... lol

I didn't miss any point to his life, I'm BLACK....

I'm just saying that earlier I didn't find it fit to "forcibly" celebrate the life of a guy who pretty much is painted as a pure saint in the history books.... If I'm going to take a day out to give a nod to anybody, I'd rather know the whole truth then to just go by what everyone else says about him....

Just think of me as that kid who has to do a history paper, but wonders why he can't talk about material "not covered" in the books allowed.... :D

BTW, you REALLY didn't have to add in that extra part... Nobody asked for a compare and contrast to current day nuclear problems....

Yes I did. It what his life was about. At least not using violence as the first resort. We actually have a problem we won't be able to physically destroy.
We need someone to set the example again though. Americans have short memories.

I'm BLACK....
