DEMWAIBig Daddy's blog: "MLK Day..."

created on 01/14/2007  |  http://fubar.com/mlk-day/b44547
Ok...I don't usually do this type of stuff, but I read something tonight that really ticked me off. There is a mum on one of my friends page asking if people consider MLK Day an actual Holiday. Now. some of the answers were it should be and some were it should not be because of certain things. Not going to reply to the naysayers, but I have to say this. This is the only Holiday...THE ONLY HOLIDAY...African Americans can consider their own. I'm not racist by a longshot, but I just can't understand why some white people don't understand the importance of this man to us. How many people do u know have put their life on the line for their race just to have them be considered equal to others. And, I'm not talking about in other countries, because it happens all the time. Would U have been able to weather all the criticism, hatred, racial slurs, beatings and all that this man went thru, along with the other leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. We celebrate this day because he gave his life for us. He didn't want to die because of the situation, but he knew the consequences of his actions. If not for him dying, a lot of the things we do today as African Americans wouldn't be possible. His death brought to the forefront all the hatred towards black people and made people confront it. Things are just messed up when u can't just accept things and let them go. If u don't want to celebrate the holiday, for all means and purposes. Don't. But, don't u dare say that this man doesn't deserve some kind of recognition. I'm from MS and I will tell u, there is a lot of racism still going on, but as a man, I let it roll off my shoulders. Because to me, these people are stupid as hell and still living in the dark ages. Enough ventng for one day.
