I don't think this thread is about you.
It isn't. It's about baiting "racists hunters" like yourself.

Go to work to prove to the world your disdain for a holiday celebrating a coloured man. I trust that you also hate President's Day, as it also celebrates Roosevelt, Carter and Clinton - men unworthy of celebration.
MLK is important enough that you understand what he did, in a time when doing it proved to be signing his own death warrant.
Isn't that alone worthy of some recognition?
Nah, he was black. Fuck him.

Why can't old farts be more interesting like this dude ...

Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station, NC, you mean. The Corps was imprinted on my brain forever.
Actually we both had toxemia and almost perished but God wouldn't let it happen.
Damn.
That guy should post on Lit.
He's going rogue and doing this thread in an even numbered year.
In a slightly related manner:Holidays declared for the sole purpose of sucking up to some constituency or another.
Ah, Query to the rescue in less than thirty minutes, well within bro response guidelines.
Everyone with half a brain knows it's a bait thread -- #### comes in to pat Ishtard on the back for making a cleaver bait thread. Rejoice!
You leave no doubt in your ignorance old man frfrHolidays declared for the sole purpose of sucking up to some constituency or another.
Today is one of those holidays, Columbus Day is the other. Neither of those gentlemen deserve a national holiday in their name.
Starting with Columbus, "Discoverer of America." How ludicrous, how can you 'discover' a place already occupied by other people? He never set foot on the North American continent and the honor of being the first European to set foot in the America's goes to some as yet unnamed Viking. Is there an "Olaf the Discoverer Day" somewhere in our future? If so, find a month that doesn't already have a national holiday, March perhaps, and that's where it will be planted.
As far as MLK is concerned, tireless worker to end segregation that he was, he hardly rises to the level of having a national holiday named in his honor. If there is any man of color that deserves that honor it would be Fredrick Douglas. Douglas was a better orator and a better writer. While MLK worked with a relatively large group of individuals, Douglas worked alone. The sole person of color that worked tirelessly to emancipate the slaves.
Overall I'm not in favor of having ANY national holiday named after a single individual. Americans do not recognize royalty or the titles thereof beyond matters of diplomatic protocol. We do not raise individuals to demigod like status either. Rename the holiday "Civil Rights Day," or something of the sort.

I thought that was against Klan regulations. Oh boy is he going to get an earful at the trailer park cookout tonight.
Hashtag in a nutshell ...
