I wasn’t as big a fan of Martin Luther King as others were. That said, there’s no way I would approve of how his life ended. I wouldn’t ever make light of it either.
It’s my take that he has been glorified far beyond what he should have been. I still respect the role he played in the Civil Rights movement, and I honestly think he would be severely disappointed with how his race was failed by the movement after his death.
I respect that about him.
People get together on holidays for recreational activities. They may not think of the exact reasons they are off on that day, but the day is none the less a joyous break from the monotony of life.
I don’t think King would be offended by a venture to the gun range on his birthday. Gun enthusiasts wouldn’t be wishing they had been or acting out in memory of James Earl Ray.
This is just one more Pander Bear moment brought to us the folks who will never be satisfied with their lot in society.
We are going to have to stand up to this eventually.
If we don’t, we’ll have to put up with it throughout eternity.
Today is as good a day as any to start ignoring this nonsense every time it rears it’s disgusting head.
Yeah, because it's been a whole two weeks since we were off for the Holidays.
