I was talking to one of my friends and he said "why is their a holiday for a black man (MLK) and not one for the white man?" then he went on to say "all MLK done was nag and nag for black rights and then he got shot!"......for one there is a holiday for the "white man"....Presidents day.....and i think by my friend saying that he is Disgraceing MLK......WHAT DO U THINK??????:redboxer:

I haven't read any posts in this thread, but MLK did a lot for black rights, although I have thought about it because I think he did a lot for black rights, but celebrating him is almost agreeing that there's two different societies- a black and a white, and if he did a lot for black rights, then it's segregating the 2.

However, even though there has never been a black president, your comment about president's day being a white holiday seemed very racist to me, but it's all in perception.
