Ah...MLK...the day where White folk can post a quick blurb from his teachings and separate themselves from the racist. Thankfully so. Since I can just tap the "like" button and not feel like a complete scumbag for not taking it all that seriously.
A day off is a day off though...the earnest nature of White people to remind us about civil righta makes it seem they have much more to hide. Shame and guilt...the great twins that keep people shackled to religion. Men are not created equal. If they were I could go fuck Stephanie Seymour and she'd just giggle and say nothing. God...what a world that would be.
So don't gimme that shit. We do have i alienable rights as humans and Americans and we are beyond the "I have a speech..." years. Though many continue to believe more work is to be done. Fuck...where? Pro sports and entertainment has evened the playing field. And let's be frank here...seems to be our only export. We've integrated our shit so deep into other cultures, they cheer for Michael Jordan in some remote island in Tahiti. To play...a kid's game. So if we aren't equal yet in our pursuit of happiness, not sure what else can be done before it becomes just an advantage. Doesn't bother me if a Black president of company hires only Black people. Most likely it won't be a position I qualify for anyway.
So, happy MLK day to those who still celebrate the myth.
