It is a holiday because the man was the face of a very worthy cause. He attempted to stop social injustice by using peaceful means and was assassinated for it. It is a holiday that is celebrating civil rights and understanding between races through his birthday.

It is not a holiday for bankers because we just like to work and make money.

So they honor this scumbag plagiarist, adulterous and womanizer with an national holiday? If you read about this dude it's one big joke in all honesty.

 

As I said in my last line, "It is a holiday that is celebrating civil rights and understanding between races through his birthday." No one is perfect. People want to celebrate equality. It was a good day to choose. If you have a better day, write your senator.

 

Yeah, even if I had it proven to me that MLK Jr was sleeping with every woman he could get his hands on, it wouldn't change who he was, what he stood for, and what he died for. Sorry. This honky is a big fan of Martin Luther... both the original and the 20th-century namesake. Neither, I'm sure, were sinless. Not that it would be my place to judge whether they were or not.

Neither were perfect, but there is a difference between a scumbag lowlife "honorary" reverend going around sleeping with every white whore he could find and plagiarizing everything he "wrote" and a guy going against the catholic church for what he thought was unjust. The dude even had dealings with the Communist Party of America. His FBI file is a mile long; yeah he truly deserves a holiday. I'd rather have Malcolm X for an holiday since at least he was honest.

 

Good job, Der Bankier, He was a Baptist Minister so of course he wouldnt align totally with the catholic church. He was also ordained minister, not "honorary." He had a PhD from BU.

But yeah, go ask your boss for Malcolm X's birthday off. Maybe he will understand your cause; a drug dealer turned activist vs MLK. Like he doesnt have his flaws.
