do you think MLK was represented on his birthday

I think he wasn't represented enough, there was even a black guy I seen In my sisters store that she manages that didn't even know that it was his birthday yesterday, shit I knew and I'm white, I think rap needs to represent there roots a little more instead of how much money they have, I dont know maybe its just me

NO MLK is never represented correctly on MLK, and actually his birthday is Jan. 15th. Side note, I just looked up MLK. he'd turn 80 this year.

Anyways, we've never had a MLK day that's been a true MLK day. We throw on his speech, talk about a dream but never talk about his service, his march for the poor, his  protest to the war in Vietnam, we even forget his non violent protest and the sacrifice many had to endure for equality.

in all fairness, he's more represented than anyone who gets a national holiday, except jesus, in the national media


in terms of representation

MLK>>>>Veterans Day
MLK>>>>Presidents day
MLK>>>>>Memorial Day
MLK>>>>Labor Day
MLK>>>>Columbus

true, except Veterans Day, I think that the Vets get a fair holiday, though some more could be done.

to me each other holiday means a discount

President's Day = 50% off couches, beds, love sets and anything else you can sleep on
Memorial Day = JC Penny's extra 30% on top of the 25% off sale
Labor Day = buy 5 12 packs of Coke for $15, 2/$5 big bags of Doritos and buy one get one free hot dogs and hamburger meat
Columbus Day = All cars must go to make room for the new year's cars, make your own offer, we'll beat anyone's prices.

I speak the truth. I'm a manager in retail, and I think it's a sad state of affairs. I see some exceptions, like Black Friday and the weekend before Christmas, as those are the biggest shopping days, but every other holiday I don't think need a sale.

where do you work?

Walgreens. Here it depends on the store, I've been at busy stores, right now I got moved to a brand new store but it's slow as fuck. The slow days at Walgreens in general are Sundays before church ends, Saturday and Sunday after 6 (our Rx closes on 6 during the weekends) and Wednesdays for some reason... lol.
