Even though your plight has nothing to do with my own personal history (being a 1st generation American and white), it is people like you that make this truly a better world to live in.

oh..and I also get a day off on your birthday. Word.

He was a great man. It's a shame that many of his followers do not take his message of equality for all mankind and apply it to things other than race.

You're not always an asshole.

Agreed. I don't get the holiday like you lucky chaps, but he is still one of the greatest men to ever live, and one of the strongest willed too.

Happy MLK day. I'm working, but that's ok I can't imagine he'd actually want people to take the day off just for him.

Matthew Shepherd called, he'd like to have his holiday now.

((Not really, he's not as big as MLK, although he did bring lots of attention to hate crime legislation.))

To elaborate, he was a bar and two guys decided to rob him, they drove to a rural area and rater than just rob him and leave him alone, or maybe just kill him in a less painfull way, he was beaten to near death and put hanging on a fence, left to die in the cold and dark night, he was found by a biker passing by, he stayed in a coma for about a week I think.

A day late, but here it is anyway: one of his speeches that shows a side of MLK most people aren't familiar with: his anti-war side. It's on the Vietnam War.

First video here, the rest of the speech is in my playlist at the above link.

Actually my 1st thought was "what does Mass Effect have to do with it?" too.

Then I have no idea how I can relate this to your country.

You can't, that was the point of my post...

Over here all we have if gypsies, and no one cares about them... except when they're sending them back and blaming us for letting them outside our borders...

Big reason is that he was really just gearing up on anti-Vietnam right around the time of his assassination.

He had a way with the English language. Inspiring, to say the least.

Darn-it, and i was so looking forward to stab you in the gut too.

their rivers filled with skin-bleaching toxins.

What skin bleaching? I can assure you none of the gypsies that swim in our polluted rivers during the summer come out any whiter then they are...

I am, and my mind is playing Swap the Antonym, as too often happens. I'll say right when I mean left, up when I mean down. It really sucked that one time I was raped.
