Blacks more likely to celebrate MLK day than Whites

First off, Happy MLK Day!

http://news.yahoo.com/fc/US/African_Americans

Quote:

WASHINGTON - Blacks are more likely than whites to commemorate Martin Luther King's birthday, an AP-Ipsos poll found. They're also more inclined to harbor doubts about progress toward his dream of racial equality. Three-fourths of the people in this country say there has been significant progress toward equality, but only 66 percent of blacks felt that way.

I'm celebrating MLK day right now. Being lazy is what he promoted right? Or was that just lost in the message between then and now?

There will never be racial equality in the world. There will also never be gender equality. There will always be a huge rift between the poor and the rich.

I know my history; that wasn't MLK. It was George Jefferson.

The best use of your name was back when someone asked someone else "are you rich" and they replyed "no, rich is the duck".

Memories.

MLK Day totally fucked up every single plan I had today. Screwed up my car, screwed up my mail, screwed up my bills. Fuck you, affirmative action, fuck you. Couldn't have been done on a Tuesday, could it? Nooooo. You had to free the darkies on Monday. Goddammit.

Agreed. It's more of an inconvenience than a holiday.

How does one go about celebrating this day?

Kidding about what? That's what black people eat.

No one would be vilified for observing that Asians eat rice and fish. Mostly because Asians don't scare the shit out of everyone.

Here in Europe the assumption is pretty much that MLK was the black Adolph Hitler.

It's apalling to me that in a lot of parts of the country kids get off school for MLK day but not President's day. I'm thinking the relative contribution King made to this country compared to Washington and Lincoln would almost fill a thimble.

That's because the races and genders aren't equal. You can preach all day that 6=4, but everyone still knows it's bullshit.

I got approved for the new apartment I'm moving to with terrible credit, no savings, and less than year being at my current job. All I recall doing was making a point to ask my prospective future landlord, "Are the other tenants quiet?" I explained how we [my girl and I] are very quiet and we're tired of hearing loud music from all the apartments around us all day.

There was an unspoken agreement that the loud music is shit like Lil' Jon and that the people in the apartments around us are black, I think. Her eyes lit up like sunshine when I asked.

So much for progress.

I always wondered what MLK would say if he saw the shit that black people are doing nowadays.

If Martin Luther King Jr. was alive today, he would say something like, "I have a dream... where every man of every nation... SETTLES. THE FUCK. DOWN. FOR CHRIST'S FUCKING SAKES."

Don't let the sun set on you if you're white on MLK in Savannah, GA on MLKJr. day. It's like Malcom X day, except there's one of those too.

Fried chicken and watermellon are delicious no matter who you are. Is RC Cola still around? That was alright too.

There is nothing wrong with wanting quite. There is also nothing wrong with haveing the desire to not smell a pot forest buring in the air vent everytime you go take a piss.

My neighbors can suck a dick if they feel this way. Or they could just lean in a bit and get some second hand.

There have been days where I could swear one was in the bathroom with me, smoking it up.

I don't care if people do it, but shit, be a little considerate.
