You know what, this MLK holliday reminds me of the Imperial Cult in ancient Rome. MLK is essentially being worshiped as a God. Creepy. Who else get’s this treatment? Washington and Lincoln don’t on their birthdays.
“MLK is essentially being worshiped as a God. Creepy. Who else get’s this treatment?”
To me, this “holiday” is as farcical and irrelevant as Kwanzaa. It’s purely a an exercise in PC and delays USPS delivery of mail.
News that matters: RIP to Dick Gautier (Hymie from Get Smart).

I don’t like it, either. Washington and Lincoln are far more worthy, and I can tell you neither one of them would approve of such sort of cult worship. Add to that, focusing exclusively on MLK for a singular holiday diminishes countless individuals who participated in (Black) Civil Rights going back to the 19th century, many of whom gave their lives. I think the name of the holiday should simply be called “Civil Rights Day.”
