And to the godafther... look at the amount of blacks vs. whites on college campuses, and then come back and tell me that black people always get into school and get scolarships first.. You cant.


Exactly.....


People making uneducated comments ftl......
Because minority and more specifically, black representation of population at 99 percent of colleges and universities across America is so significant.


and really, who cares about ONE MONTH?
I guess the other eleven months of the year aren't dedicated to history or culture that isn't based primarily on European ( read white) subject matter....
Like anything different is learned from year to year. It's the same repetitive shyt, and even so, how is it really hurting you to "learn" about a different culture that is a major part of US history?

And MLK day being based on a as you put it,womanizing individual...

Hmmm, lets look at this a little more closely....

American historians tend to revere figures such as Thomas Jefferson, who was a womanizer and one of the " founding fathers" of this country. So, under your logic, are his accomplishments any less significant because of his extracurricular exploits? NO. So that argument is null and void....
