will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Bold talk for a man who was in bed with several women other than his wife just before he was killed. Behind the rhetoric which came cheap, he was a slobbering low class animal.

I think everyone who is not an 'underrepresented minority' should go to work on MLK day, or if a student, spend the day studying. It is a reminder that we have to work harder than other groups to get the same opportunities, solely because of the color of our skin. Sadly, thanks to the civil rights establishment, that is the true legacy of MLK.

I'll pass on remembering him, I'm sticking with George.

THE JUBILEE OF THE CONSTITUTION - Fiftieth Anniversary of George Washington

"Taking jobs away from one group in order to compensate a second group to correct injustices caused by a third group who mistreated a fourth group at an earlier point in history (e.g., 1860) is absurd on the face of it and does not promote justice; rather, it does the opposite."

Nothing I can say will be as articulate and blatantly obvious regarding modern day American racism as the statement above.

What should we remember on Martin Luther King Day?

The fact we have a holiday named for a man of questionable repute while we cannot honor the birthday of a founder of this country, our first President, George Washington.

All I can think of is the Chris Rock joke.

I dont think there is a need to demean the man. Nobody is/was perfect. I prefer to remember the EARLY Martin Luther King, the guy who was more libertarian, and just wanted everyone to have a fair shot. It wasn't till later that he fell in with the leftist crowd. Be that as it may, he never advocated violence, and he was WORLDS better than the minority leaders we have today, they pale before his memory..

[ZULU]

A nice piece but irrelevant.

MLK Day is a standing insult to every American who is not a black radical. If Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, are not entitled to a national holiday, why does he qualify?

Only because of the craven fear of white politicians to be labelled "racist" is they stood up for reason.

MLK was an effective tool for the destruction of desegregation - nothing more - nothing less, and hardly a paragon of virtue or excuse for a national holiday.

Happy Lee-Jackson Day, y'all.
