Whats they deal with Martin L. King Day?

Question

Just another day for lazy people not to work. I know he was an important figure. but really who give's a ****.

Answer 1

you got that right

Answer 2

well, the united states government seemed to think it was important enough to combine George Washington and Abe Lincolns birthday together so that a one day could be set aside for a man of color.

Are you saying the U.S. government is wrong? Go shopping for another country to live in. If you think the U.S. is on the wrong track pass the clean election reform bill and then get on the ticket and run for an office. until we get clean election reform big bucks will pay for the winner of most of the political races.

Answer 3

You just said it, he was an important figure. I would like a day off but I'm not getting it. I'm not lazy, but I do have a life outside of work.

Answer 4

I am ready to lose some points for this one-IT'S WORTH IT!!!!

You are of course talking about the most divisive -pull the scab off the wound -let's just keep people living in the past reminder of misguided actions holiday ever created in an act of total stupidity!
The so called National Holiday that seems to only apply to a small "Group" of our populace of which only a very small group were even affected!

Allow me at this point to add just a little History:
After the Civil War, Blacks were given 20 Acres and a mule as a starting point to build a new way of life as free people with their first-in some cases, possesions-Many Blacks had aquired much more as incentives for the dedicated work they had done for their Owners/bosses. This of course pertains to the ones in the south AT THE TIME-who were owned by their Masters(A portion of the total number in the US, and and fraction of the ones who arrived in the South afterwards). These Blacks decided that they were now in control, and rather than continuing on with the people that trained them and needed them, decided to go off and abandon them in favor of forming their own communities! This left the "Whites" at the mercy of the Carpet-Baggers who took severe advantage!
Years later after their communities crumbled into ruin, these Blacks started trying to move back into the rebuilt White's Towns and met deserved hostility!

Now we come to the arrival of the people like King who arrived and prejudged the Whites as having put these people down-when in FACT, they had segregated themselves and burned their own bridges!

I refer to Martin Luther King day, as Communist(Which he advocated in much the same ignorant way as the original bridge burners and Farrakain does today) Ni@@er National Holiday!

All you separatist, special treatment advocationg, divisive jerks have fun! I stand appalled!

PS- I live in Texas. Texas never allowed Slaves, only indentured servants of which many Irish people arrived in this Country as. But, Hey, just like the Blacks who now find themselves in the best Country on this Planet for them, it got a lot of us here too!

Answer 5

Its an American holiday and doesnt affect me in any way. Yet my opinion is that it is the governments (Reagan) way of apologizing to the blacks for the whole slave trade.
