January 20, 201412 yr This day is a sad day for me as people pull out their 'favorite' MLK quote and put it on Facebook and get 123 likes. People go to their marches and parades to celebrate the life of an iconic man who made serious headway in the civil rights movement. For 24 hours(about 12 hours really but who's counting) we celebrate one of the greatest human beings ever on the face of this planet and then tomorrow we go back to ignoring everything he taught us and everything he stood for and we remain the stagnant society we are. I'd rather argue about Richard Sherman than go back to Facebook and watch the hypocrisy. Sad day indeed.
January 20, 201412 yr I put up a quote on FB that I have heard for years that I like, sorry if you think I'm a hypocrite...
January 20, 201412 yr King was a communist who cheated on his wife with white women. Now we have a racist "black" president, he should be so proud.
January 20, 201412 yr Author I put up a quote on FB that I have heard for years that I like, sorry if you think I'm a hypocrite... It's all good. Just venting about how today will soon be forgotten by yellow, red, black and white people alike. It's depressing and draining.
January 20, 201412 yr Author King was a communist who cheated on his wife with white women. Now we have a racist "black" president, he should be so proud. So if he cheated with black women all would be forgiven?
January 20, 201412 yr It's all good. Just venting about how today will soon be forgotten by yellow, red, black and white people alike. It's depressing and draining. Yeah it's like the "holier than thou" post and quotes that people put on FB but thehy live a completely different life. People do the same thing at Christmas and Easter as well...

January 20, 201412 yr King was a communist who cheated on his wife with white women. Now we have a racist "black" president, he should be so proud. And we just went off the rails...

January 20, 201412 yr It's all good. Just venting about how today will soon be forgotten by yellow, red, black and white people alike. It's depressing and draining. I know its definitely different but its how I feel on other days throughout the year that have something to do with our military. Everyone has to have their obligatory quote or whatever and then its forgotten until the next holiday. Different but a similar feeling I get.

Great men have been saying great things for ever and then it seems everyone forgets what was said.
January 20, 201412 yr King was a communist who cheated on his wife with white women. Now we have a racist "black" president, he should be so proud. So what is your take on everything he did, said and accomplished during his life?
