You're an idiot. Why would a KKK member say that African Americans diserve better? This holiday is the equivalent of a holiday for Adolf Hitler.
There is no doubt that MK was a great speaker, but so was Hitler.
Even supporters of MK openly acknowledge that he did many questionable things. In his defense, they claim he was just like any other human being. I've never cheated on my wife, I've never plagiarised in order to obtain a PhD (which only was possible because his racist teachers thought he could do no better), so I guess I'm inhuman.

It's obvious you are not willing to look for this information yourself, so here are some links favoring my opinion of him:

1. His name. The first thing you learn about someone. His is actually Michael King. I honestly don't give a crap if he wanted to change his name, but it is consistant with his other Bullshitteries, so I must mention it. Check any good biography.
2. He was affiliated with this Cummunist thingamajig: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlan...ucation_Center
3. He was a supporter of Socialism. Check his wikipedia bio. I'm certain a search for him and socialism in google would turn up something. Oh look at that! http://www.google.com/search?q=marti...en-US:official
I'm sick of proving a point to a fool. If you really want to see if you're wrong or not, read this: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/epstein9.html
If you have an attention span equivalent to what I had once expected from an American, you'll read this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/068...de=lewrockwell

Now onto why you are such a fool.
1. When another member admited to not knowing it was MK day, you called it a typical white reaction. Fuck you.
2. You stalled with your first reply to mine.
3. In your second reply, you called me a hick (lolololol...... lol!). Fuck you. I'm not a hick.
4. In post 18, all you could muster was a failed attempt to insult my town (which I hate) along with some condescending sympathy. Coming from a retard, I'm really hurt.
5. In 21, you admited to being incapable of defending your own opinion. A thought is worthless unless you are willing to defend it.
6. You compared me to a KKK member when it is apparent that I'm in favor of equality. Fuck you again. I have a better comparison- This is like a child (you) trying to tell an adult that (and not why, because you still have not defended your thought) Mac N' Cheese is better than, umm, some fancy dish; maybe Roast Duck.
