MLK day

[Caster]

Ain't started trouble in a while and today seems like a good day fer it, so.......


Me and a customer was talking today. I mentioned I needed to check the mail, he says no mail today.
Huh? Why? OHH! I didn't know.

So obviously, two rednecks talking; Why is a day like this acceptable but if you were to even insinuate something white RACIST!!!
Hypocritical bastages.

I think my employer is racist because I had to work today.
I had no idea what day it was either until I got home and mail/trash hadn't ran.

F martin luther king.

Imma start taking the day off for Eugene Stoner day. The man has done more for me and my freedoms and the things that make me happy than kings wonderful dream.

Maybe I'll start taking the day off for David Mosley day too for providing the materials i use to prepare the means to protect that freedom. Edited January 21, 2014 by Caster

I hear that August 4th will someday be a national holiday.  If so, I would rather for them to give up MLK day in January for a hot summer day holiday anytime!

I don't agree with everything MLK stood for, in fact, his economic ideas were downright ignorant and arguably pretty communist. That being said, this article from the Daily Kos (I know, I know, but trust me on this one) gives a great insight into what Dr. King's legacy really means to some folks.

I was surprised that anyone even mentioned MLK Day around here. It only took 19 hours. I appreciate Dr King's efforts regardless.

Happy black Monday.:)

I worked as well today. Was really slow for a holiday. JTM We the People of the United States, in order to form a more Perfect Union......

Yep. I think MLK is probably more Facebook turf. Jan Brewer may have written the best thing I saw all day.

This was posted back in 2006. I cannot validate anything as truth or claim anything as false. Interesting to read though.

You know, I'm pretty simple when it comes to matters like this thread.  I default back to the old saw that if you can't say something nice, you probably shouldn't start a thread about it on TGO.  Or something like that.  Regardless... Caster... really???

 

Shameful.

 

This thread is done.
