It seems odd that a government that had so little reason to appreciate Martin Luther King Jr. and his annoying views of the US Government would create a national holiday in his honor.
It's almost as if a bunch of old white guys got together to discuss Ways to Make Black People Happy. Why not give them a holiday? We've got some notes on the calendar to remind us of some dead president's birthdays, and we even bother to take note of the First White Guy to visit America.
Though I may be woefully ignorant of all of MLK's opinions and speeches, I know enough to wonder if he would really appreciate by being remembered for inspiring a federal holiday observed mostly by large corporations and government institutions.
But who am I to complain? I get a 3 day weekend.

A school holiday in honor of one of the worlds most prominent plagiarists. Maybe if I rip off someone's thesis they'll make me the only white American with his own holiday (Washington and Lincoln share President's day and Columbus wasn't American).
That's not even mentioning Michael King's (that was his real name) womanizing, starting riots, enciting violence or his ties to the Communists.
