Americans Forget Martin Luther King and What He Did. Mark Dice interviews beachgoers in San Diego about MLK for Martin Luther King Day 2015.

The only thing LBJ deserves is a urinal on his grave.
Haha, yes, and I love the way the guy just repeats that over and over :)
If I had a Saturn rocket engine on my Buick Lucerne, I could make it from Muncie to Indy in about 90 seconds.
OK, I’ve got it now. MLK, Jr. invented peanut butter, right?
People forget that King wasn’t as big during his life as we are supposed to think he is now.
He was one of the known people of the 1960s, like a George Wallace, or Malcolm X, or Cassius Clay, but he faded away pretty quickly after his death.
America has been dumbed down very intentionally
Well, Americans just seem to love holidays dedicated to people. Columbus Day, MLK Day, Washington’s birthday, Lincoln’s birthday (remember those?).
I wonder, is this a peculiar thing to us, because we tried to avoid sectarian holidays? Or is it common in other countries too?
No, that was Peter Pan, dude. He’s right there on the label!
I always laugh at that picture.
Kind of like confusing the My Lai Massacre with the Battle of Mylae.
I'm pretty sure that was Lex Luthor.
I don’t know how Mark keeps doing this without having a meltdown.
When did he ascend to his current status then? Or rather when did that begin? With the push for the MLK holiday in the early 1980s?
“I have a dream, that one day, YT will be so guilt ridden, that the Marxists who are attempting to destroy America will be too scared to stop them.”
I know that when the activists first started the idea of an MLK holiday, that I would ask people to name the top 10 figures of the 1960s, I did that in various states and for years, and they never thought to mention MLK.
When this movie news dies out again and MLK slips off the media radar again, you can experiment at parties and in conversations, gently coax people who lived during the 1960s into describing the big figures of the 1960s and they will start describing their memories of Nixon, LBJ, Jerry Rubin types, the Black Panthers, Malcom X, George Wallace, and of course movie and music people, John Wayne, the Beatles, Hendrix, Lee Marvin, and they will want to get deeper into their interests, maybe Alfred Hitchcock, or the anti-war movement, or JFK and Lee Harvey Oswald, it will become a history discussion, but you will be amazed at how vague and foggy and forgetful people are about MLK, unless you bring him up.
Listen to them wax on about the things they truly remember and which were iconic, and then bring up MLK, and notice how people are suddenly at a loss for words, and start stumbling around with some faint and uncomfortable, “great man”, “really did some good for blacks” vague platitudes about what was merely a political figure of his time, in a time filled with bigger than life political figures.
As a young man I used to try to defend MLK, but eventually I came to see him as most adults at the time did, but today he is a giant so big, that he has his own national holiday and kids are brainwashed to revere him, it is something straight out of 1984.
He sure beats today’s brand of activist.

Ha! That’s a pretty good argument.
