Although Dr. King was truly a hero, and should be remembered as such, how more appropriately could we celebrate the only "black" holiday than by taking the day off and not working! So I say: have a quart of Colt 45 and lay out of work all week! ;D
-
Why do the blacks get a race-based holiday? Shouldn't we whites have something equivalent, celebrating white people specifically? David Duke day, maybe? How 'bout Asian-americans? Do they get a day? How 'bout Latinos? SHouldn't they have a holiday specifically for their race too? What about the American Indians?? Shouldn't we accord Sitting Bull's birthday the same respect we do that of MLK's?
Face it... the blacks are more coddled than any other race, yet all they wanna do as a race (I understand this is not true of all black individuals) is bitch about so-called "discrimination". >:( >:(

I will raise a glass of grape juice in his memory.

MLK Day is day for every race, doesn't matter, you're only looking at it because he's black... Go back read his books, actually listen to a whole speech of his and not a snippet that they always play. To be ignorant of one of the greatest Americans of all time and a Nobel Prize winner isn't cool. Especially when that person had more balls than any of us here.
If you ever paid attention, he didn't start becoming a threat when he started talking about Human Rights, not Civil Rights. And was being wooed by the Communist Party. That is something you don't do back in the 60's. You already had the damn hippies, you didn't need some black man talking about Human rights, especially during a turbulent time in American History. That is when Hoover took notice, and Hoover really got on King's ass because King didn't return a phone from Hoover.

Here's the thing about Memphis:
"The darker it gets, the darker it gets!" ;D

Don't try to put a Liberal veneer on the whole thing or use revisionist history... he was fighting for the black race, period. Whatever other personal qualities he may have had, or whatever else may have resulted from his crusade, the holiday's existence is all about placating the blacks, and even the blacks themselves view it as a black holiday.

if a white man defends his race, he's insensitive and racist. I respect the black people who don't submit to the whole hip hop culture. Unfortunately there are few examples. If Blacks wonder why some don't take them seriously look at Al Sharpton or any rap video that just reaffirms the stereotypes. Take some responsibility and stop blaming others for the problems that you created.

some bleeding hearts may disagree, but in many cases whites are more discriminated against than blacks.

It ain't liberal, its the damn truth, as I said, and as it has been duly noted by any historian or even people who lived during that time, King wasn't getting anywhere by just doing "Civil Rights", he soon turned to include Human Rights, and that is when he started catching hell. Yes, he wanted Civil Rights for blacks, that was his main goal. If you lived in the South at that time, you see it was different world, a warped world. But, it was due to him, that Latinos, Asians, and white women could be recognized and get a step ahead...
Yes, many blacks view it as a "Black Holiday", that they get off. Hell, you should be thankful, your ass gets the day off, you could say a dead black man is good for one thing...a day off.
but I honor the man, and remembrance, like going to a MLK breakfast. ANd how can I change and get my shit together.

there was a black guy on ESPN talking about Brett Favre and said that the "white media" wants Brett to succeed because he's white, if the role was reversed and a White guy said that about a black QB he'd be fired immediately.
-
what's up man? like i said this thread is gonna ruffle some feathers and the sensitive little bitches will cry about it even though the black race has done nothing but regress since April 4, 1968.
Actually you could be right... Sharpton and Jackson still think it is 1968, yet they are probably driving in a brand new 2008 Caddy of Merc, it seems it is okay to have a 1968 mentality, but every thing else has to be new... the "ACP" in the NAACP, stood for Advancement of Colored People , I see no real advancement, only same problems, just people mask it it with more money.

i agree with you here, Sharpton and especially Jackson are about one thing......MONEY, if anything blacks are killing each other at record rates.

Most private sector people (other than banks) don't take a "day off". For the most part, this is only a "holiday" for those working for government.
-

Jackson and Sharpton, make me think about the dude who always at the scene of a fire, every single time...the reason, it's because his ass starts the fire for his own benefit...the word Uncle Tom is a misnomer, it really has been misused, but if there ever was good application for the word---Jackson and Sharpton should be in the dictionary under that name.

Were negro slaves subject to genocide the was the American Indians were?
Using your logic, Sitting Bulls's Birthday should be WAY ahead of MLK's as a national holiday.

Everyone other than white men get special treatment in America. They are given jobs with less qualifications (at least companies are encouraged/pressured to), their diseases are more important (breast cancer), etc. It's the same as a 'handicap' in golf.

I have said this before and I will say it again: I understand the economic impact illegal Mexican immigrants have on our society, but it is a damn shame that they come here and work their asses off to better themselves and their family, and then INS busses drive around jobsites picking them up and deporting them. meanwhile blacks are down in the projects drinking Colt 45 and selling crack, and getting fat nasty black women pregnant instead of working. The fat nasty black women have ten niglets each and my tax dollars pay for their welfare. I think the INS should start picking their asses up and sending them and their them back to Africa, that way it would make room for the hard working Mexicans to more easily become legal contributors. Slavery was wrong, and the way blacks were treated was wrong, but the biggest injustice was allowing them to keep their black asses here after slavery.
After slaver was outlawed and the slaves were free, they should have put every one of their sorry black asses back on boats and sent them back to Africa (the motherland ???) where they belong. PROBLEM SOLVED. Even foreigners who come here and have only been here for a few days notice how sorry the nigs are.

Enjoy the day off folks, Jesus Christ....... ::)
-
they dont want to work as it is, and now they get a holiday too?

Great thing about living in Western state which is about 75% white is no one celebrates this holiday. Everyone was checking the mail as if it were a normal day. Please guys...get the fck out of the South, Northeast, and Northwest and Cali. Freaking great living with mostly whites! (sorry other races....I'm just telling the truth :))
-
If living like a rap star is what you look up to......... :-\
Some blacks are waking up like Bill cosby admitting the blacks keep themselves down by choosing thses dumbass rappers bitching about stuff and doing nothing.
Aint NOBODY Trapped in ghettos...Just save your coins for a bus ticket instead of some drugs or booze..........Its that easy. 8)
-
Take all the damned blacks and ship them back to Africa. If they are going to fuck up a country, let it be that one. Put some damned border guards up along all borders and have them shoot anyone trying to cross it. This country is going to shit because of all the "diversity" we have and the second you say anything about any of it you're a racist.

It ain't the blacks, but the type of people...man, I glad I don't live around ignorant people like you who can't figure that out. I grew up in a upper middle class neighborhood with mostly whites, and a lot mess that some of the kids and their parents did was off the meter, enough to get shot in the inner city.
And if you work in in the judicial field in one of the richest counties in the US, you'd sing a different tune. Ignorance sees no color or race.
You know at one time some Western states had the hight murder rates in the country...
and many have the largest MS13 gang members in the country...

Agreed, Bill has been saying this for a while now, he has new book called, "Come on People--on the path from victims to victors", it's good. The only thing people are trapped by is the mindset, a victim's mindset, enabled by the Sharptons and Jackson's of the world.

Damn CamaroTuner, you wiped the grease off your mullet, just to type that. Man, an 86 Camaro is the height of fashion these day, you should save up for the new 2009 one, it has a trick IRS, unlike that horse cart solid read axle you have...times are changing...
This country is not going to shit because of Diversity, but due to greed...

You don't understand how the hiring system works, especially when you can use 5 different names in different combos, do you. Record checks are simple as pie, you can have a record on one name or combo, but not on the other. Tyrone Jenkins, is straight Tyrone Jenkins. Same as anybody else born here. Mexicans, as you call them, many are from El Salvador or Guatemala, are no more hardworking than others...it's easier to come and here where people can illegally exploit, excuse me, pay you, than to demand that the countries they come from, to fix their economies.

The Boondocks had a repeat show called, "The return of the King", that was some good shit.

very true. i am european and had never seen a black person in real life until i moved to the states. after being here for roughly a week, i noticed that the vast majority of them are loud, disrespectful and just general low lifes who lack ambition and work ethic.

Send them back to Africa
I am amazed on how ignorant some of you are. If you want to debate, fine. Racism. You will be banned. It is getting old. Lets see, most of the Black who are in this country have been here for a long time, and are probably more American that many of you are. They have never even been to Africa, so get some knowledge in your heads.

Look, another ignorant person. Umm... most people, including Black, work very hard, try to make a better life, and many do very well. Racism is when you take an entire race, and use your quote, it shows just how dumb you are. Like any race, you have areas in which poverty lies, so just because you see that on television, you assume everyone is like that. Jeez, grow up.
I can take areas in which the entire white population is poverty striken, so should we blame the entire American white race as being poor. Enlighten yourselfs, that when you debate, you should at least somewhat knowledgable.
Pictures of Fried Chicken and Watermelons is stupid, same crap as 30 years ago. Old and dumb.
Debates on affirmative action, debates that if MLK's message, which deplored non-violence followed through to present day, debates on whether or not people take advantage of the situation is good discussion.
Stupid racism makes me feel like Timing out you, and don't say I didnt warn you.

Black "culture" at this point is the exclamation point on the reasons for this countries decline. It is a culture of excuses and pointless excess. My sincerest apologies for those few black people who rise above it all and make something of themselves. Hopefully you can be an example for the rest of them content with being a joke. If you want stereotypes to go away, stop acting like stereotypes. The reason they BECOME stereotypes in the first place is because they are largely accurate. I would hate to see the number of black woman (or hell white woman) who are stuck on welfare because they have multiple babies from some black man who is a non-existent father. He's too busy buying "bling" to support his own family. Even those who become someone, STILL act like morons. Giant grills for their teeth, jewelry that is so ridiculously over the top that it makes Mr. T wince, 20" rims on their lowered Caddy, 200 pairs of 100 dollar a piece sneakers, you get the idea. If they fail to achieve this "ideal" of their culture, white people are to blame, not them. No white people cause them to go out and become drug dealers and addicts. We cause them to fail in school and drop out to live on the streets. Here's a hint, life is full of choices and you must be responsible for the ones you make and the consequences stemming from them. It is not white cultures responsibility to do it for you. So get rid of all the junk, set better priorities, get yourselves an education and do better for yourselves and your families. Then maybe you'd be able to get rid of all the stereotyping. But you won't, it'll be the same cycle again and again. You're children will grow up thinking the same way you do and still refuse to do anything about it.
As for MLK, he preached for equality and for all blacks to be given the chance afforded to white people. For the large part, he was instrumental in doing that. Look what they've done with it. If the man came back today I doubt he'd be thrilled with the results of his and others hard work and sacrifice.
Oh and before anyone points out the excesses of white culture don't bother. The blow dried yuppy idiots of our culture are every bit as bad as those in yours.

May i ask if you were the one that modified my message? If im asking something its because it actually READ about it and not because im making up sh1t. There's always 2 sides of the story, and since you and many others here are AMERICANS then it would be good if you could actually clear up some things about mlk, instead of just modifiying messages.
