Racism is so politically charged in America right now that it's hard to have a meaningful and honest conversation about it. When folks from both sides of the issue are so emotionally invested in being right, even the most innocent of common everyday interactions quickly devolve into argument. "Unconscious Racism" is a perfect example lol... I simply believe that "Birds of a feather" is the natural order of things and no one should be ashamed of the statistical exceptions.

I'm actually not surprised to hear that Canada has its own racial issues. The world has shrunk drastically in the last 100yrs, and consequently, the roll of government has become rather universal. However, I wonder if you can relate to this... By mere virtue of being white, and born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1966, I've been an assumed racist all my life. I'm really not exaggerating. I had the benefit of a military upbringing, I've lived all over the US literally from coast to coast and South to North. Everywhere "This kid" went with his thick southern accent, I was stigmatized and degraded by racial stereotype; Especially in California, Boston, and Philadelphia.

I've actually held MLKJr in high esteem all my life. He had a brilliant way of speaking and reasoning without perpetuating the cause of racism. He obviously understood racism for what it is, and made a case and point of never lowering himself to its standard. He always spoke of men, and to men, as a man. However, and sadly, the date of his assassination is also the date that racism was institutionalized within the US government. Today, there is a very loud and shameful faction of government in the USA that simply wouldn't have a reason to exist without perpetuating the cause of racism. The irony is that one particular political party is responsible for that faction and, of course, blames the other party for its necessity. It's a vicious circular argument, and a never ending cycle of hatred and blame, that I am positively certain Martin Luther King Jr would be horrified to have his name associated with.

Please make no mistake, I have absolutely no problem with honoring the man, Martin Luther King Jr. His intellect is sorely missed today. So, since loose allusions and vagaries are common tools of the liberal agendists, shouldn't we take great care to honor him as specifically as he applied himself to the cause of equality?
