Funny story.
Me and my sister’s ex are in an elevator at Vegas Paris hotel MLK day early morning headed down to casino the day after the Pats and Giants (Frozen Farve OT game) advanced to the SB.
There are a couple of others in the elevator with us. I turn to ex bro-in-law and ask him “Do they let you gamble on MLK Day or is it a holiday in the casino?”
He looks at me, and then sees me smirk, and we start busting out laughing. The couple of people in the elevator start laughing pretty good too.

I refuse to celebrate the manufactured holiday.
Dr. King, in his last years, was more radical than everyone around him. He dragged the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) to campaign in Chicago, where his lieutenants did not want to go. He got pelted with rocks in Chicago and admonished his staff that white Americans had never intended to integrate their schools and neighborhoods. He added pointedly that white Americans “literally sought to annihilate the Indian.” He defied the Civil Rights establishment, the Johnson Administration, and his closest advisors by opposing the Vietnam War. He campaigned for a minimum guaranteed income and bitterly regretted that he could not speak in public about democratic socialism. At the end he dragged SCLC into the Poor People’s Campaign, now outflanking even James Bevel, his usual barometer of going too far.
After he was gone the memory of King taking the struggle to Chicago, railing against the Vietnam War and economic injustice, emphasizing what was true in the Black Power movement, and organizing a Poor People’s Campaign faded into an unthreatening idealism. King became safe and ethereal, registering as a noble moralist. It became hard to remember why, or even that, King was the most hated person in America during his lifetime. But the King that we need to remember is the one who keenly understood what he was up against.

That my friend had to have been an awesome dream.
