Why the fuck is MLK a national holiday?
 

This sucks ass, should we have a federal holiday for Indians, Pakistanis, Arabs, Jews, etc too?

King had a dream ... :thumbsup

forgot to go to the bank yesterday or something? on the rag?? Don't see where the problem lies...

I think he was the 17th President, or he freed the slaves or something... :upsidedow

Simple: Blacks in USA feel they need at least one of everything specifically for their race... because everybody else are seperatists.

MKL's struggle was not just for blacks.

Because that uppity negroid wife-beater defecated all over the white house lawn and then refused to pick up his shit afterwards. Then Malcolm X came along and picked up the shit for him because King wasn’t willing to do it himself and then he threw it at white people.

and why shouldn't there be?

Son of David Duke ?

Doesnt anything look fucking out of place to you?
Fucking PC shit in America is out of control.

Tuesday, December 25 Christmas Day

Yes! Christmas should not be on that list.
Then well Thanksgiving is somewhat ok, but no reason for Columbus day really. Just about his entire story told to children by public schools is an entire myth.

Coming soon...
Cesar Chavez Day - March 31st

You can argue about Christmas all day long but the man named "Jesus" did walk this earth and his life still affects this world in profound(good or bad) ways so I would say he ranks just a little above MLK dont ya fucking think?

Columbus day has no valid fucking reason to be on there I completely agree.

NO! keep march free of any real holidays. I can take the corn beef and cabbage day but damn it I love that March is holiday free. Its my birthday month.

Besides the Mexicans already have the fifth of may.

Eh, more like Ernst Zundel.

We can differ on Christmas and that is fine. I have no issue if someone believes that Jesus walked the Earth, was the son of God, or if people feel he was just another man. My only issue with it on the list is that it is a Federal Holiday and I feel the Federal Government should not at any time for any reason recognise, endorse, pay homage to, or stop doing its duty for any holiday based on anyone's religion or lack thereof one. Even if it did effect so much in the world. Many religious figures have and everyone will admit that. So none of them deserve a holiday. Celebrate those on your own time and at your own costs. If private business wishes to acknowledge it that is fine though.

ya, free speech doesnt work too well somtimes...some minorities have friends in high places

Like Ninjas? Ninjas are in high places. They like to wait until you go to sleep and then poke your eyes out with their fingers. Ninjas are crafty bastards.

Zundel always wore a hard-hat, maybe that was for ninja attacks..

He was a leader....if a slave owner can have a day and somebody who didn't exactly have a humanitarian record towards Native Americans and didn't actually discover America has a day than why on earth shouldn't a man that was instrumental in improving civil rights in the USA have one? One day..get over it.

Holy shit... you may be right, I never thought about that. That guy is a fucking genius through and through!

wait so theres no mail today?

Even worse, my trash pickup is delayed one extra day. We had a seafood feast, it is not purty.

No mail. No banks. No trash pickup. etc etc.
You can thank the Democrats

i forgot all about this holiday. hope sales don't suck as a result of it.

genius comment..if you think there is a difference between Dems and Reps..you are caught exactly where you are suppose to be..right in the division..

You're forgetting about March 14th - Steak and BJ Day :pimp

I want to have a day, someday...

It would have to be in either June or August, since it's summertime, and neither currently has a National holdiday.

Hedonist Day it could be called - A Day to Celebrate Pleasure...

The day would be marked with orgies for the adults and ice cream parties for the kids.

Another option is "Make the Government Work for Us" Day, in which only government and bank employees have to work - the rest of us could kick it, watch our taxes at work, or we could make fun of them or something.

I have a wet dream...

I like all holidays. It gives me a good reason to get drunk.

its ok, don't cry!

my bank is open :)

I would be happy if we changed it to 'national piss off the racists day'.

Why? Maybe helping prevent America from becoming like Israelis VS Palestinians was a good idea.

Arizona was one of the last states to adopt the MLK day and they did not do it voluntarily. The state of Arizona was basically told that if we did not recognise the MLK day we would not have a super bowl or a stadium and that all African American conventions would be held elsewhere.

Personally, I dont care what holiday it is. Its just another day off for me :)
