We also need a Hiawatha Day or Sacajawea Day or Chief Sitting Bull Day. Why isn’t there a holiday for the American Indians? That’s racess.
And General Robert E Lee, Jan 19.
Here in Virginia we used to have Lee-Jackson Day on the third Monday of January. When they passed the MLK day, it became Lee-Jackson-King Day, which I found hilarious, but others did not.
Lee-Jackson Day was moved to the Friday before.
Martin Luther King, Jr. cheated on his wife and was proved to be a plagiarist. On the plus side, he stood up for civil rights against the evil Democrat party which wanted to keep blacks ignorant, poor, powerless - in other words, they wanted to keep them from becoming Republicans. Yeah, I said it.
He was assassinated. He got a national holiday and a bunch of streets named after him which no one should be around after dark if they want to live a long life.
Emile Zola was an atheist idiot. He also led the fight to clear Alfred Dreyfus against dishonest accusations of treason and spying which destroyed his life.
His death was actually more eventful than Martin Luther King’s: http://www.historytoday.com/richard-cavendish/strange-death-emile-zola
But he gets a one day holiday all to himself because his skin is black.
We once celebrated George Washingion's birthday and Abraham Lincoln's birthday but they were sent to the back of the bus with all the other presidents to make room for MLK.

Scurrilous Commentary by Fred Reed
"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive,
most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics."
"Yet they do."
"Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do. Their power seems without limit."
"Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks."
"Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple voting? The laws must go. Do blacks not like Confederate flags? Adieu, flags. Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus? These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven’t read them or, usually, heard of them. Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States? We cannot. It would offend blacks."
"We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums."

I have often wondered why MLK is a holiday and not, say, Emancipation Day or 13th Amendment Day.
Craig Johnson, tu n'est pas un Emile Zola.
