So why link Obama and Martin Luther King?

I think I heard some of your same arguments back in 1963. It was not about slavery, its about equal rights now.
Im sorry but I don't agree. Listen to anyone who discusses this issue and you will get to the root of the discussion and it's slavery, racism and all that stuff that pushes the white guilt. I'm not afraid to discuss this and most folks are and frankly I find it an out to say equal rights as opposed to the real issue. We all have equal rights but some choose to be the victim and some people are.....of every race not just blacks. I would be happy if they changed it to happy race day and get rid of the MLK day. Think that would make some black folks unhappy? I think it would and slavery would be tossed into their outcry from day one. Bet on it.
