-You claim he wasn't the author of things published and spread in his name. Even if it's true, and he was a puppet too, the words were carefully chosen because the power of the word is huge, to attain a complete nationwide positive social integration effect. African people call it the 'Nommo' philosophy.
-You say he's a communist? sigh
-You say he's unamerican? Come on the guy loved the opportunity and wanted to comply. He urged his brothers & sisters to do the same thing. He meant no harm to you or your family or even your civil rights which you all love so much.

So the only real point you state is that he has a holiday and others don't. Why?
NOT because the 'white supremacist' leaders of the free world allow this as a boutade, NOT because of some secret lobby or some organization.

The people wanted to pay their respects and remember this schism in American racial relations for the better.
MLK lives on in peoples hearts. Most of them. Not yours obviously. Try to accept certain things, or at least be able to modify your opinion.
