Just cruising this discussion, and can't believe some of the self-rightous and angry comments I'm reading.

I don't care much for this MLK holiday, but like Javeline it is my opinion that while MLK wasn't perfect, he did do good for a lot of people for which he should be respected..

This type of holier-than-thou rants will give us Republicans a bad rap.

Can't we be more humble and kind? None of us is above reproach.

exactly. He wasn't perfect. He did some bad things. But he did some great things as well. He was a great man, and being a man, was fallible. All these attacks on his character and trying to tear him down are transparent attempts to belittle his accomplishments, to say 'well, this awful, awful man put his life on the line to change these things, and since he was bad, his ideas must be bad and since his ideas are bad, blacks should go back to separate drinking fountains.' The veneer of morality over blatant racism.

You have been brain washed by the PC crowd and the liberal media. This isn't a holier than you rant--it is a statement of fact. MLK was a riot starting a--h---! I was there--if you weren't listen --don't talk!!
