MLK drive must be a very long street. It goes thru Grand Rapids, Lansing and Detroit that I know of here in Michigan.It prolly snakes it's way down to Memphis TN also.

happy mlk day! watching a documentary right now on him, talks about the north being racist too. i was always shamed into believing it was just the south. even though the ugliness didnt belong to me. thanks dr king! heh its sad what we let people assign to us as a group simply where we were born. and to others the color they were born.

Newaygo County has 48,352 people, 1.3% Black, with a 14.3% Michigan statewide average.This according to the 2011 census

I agree with shotlady the north has issues also

She has about as many people in a city block as we do in out county.

Today is the 30th anniversary of my bride and I getting married (time flies).

How it also became MLK Day and Inauguration Day is a matter of a calendar advancing through the years.

I am supposed to buy her pearls. Or the modern equivalent is supposed to be diamonds.

Instead, maybe I should buy her an AR and some ammo -- they seem to be going up in value much faster!

happy anniversary to you and yer bride! very nice. yes get her the ar... depends on what kind of lady she is. jewelry is always safe or hell 30 yrs? get her both!

What I find funny is that most people have a screwed up perspective on history. Slavery was practiced in at least four northern states plus DC. And... the emancipation proclamation only freed the slaves in the North... since Lincoln had no authority in the South. But... history ignores slavery in the north. They ignore that the KKK was started by a Democrat... that it was the Democratic South that had Slavery and the Republican President that abolished it. I just don't understand how people can ignore facts. And... get pissed when you tell them the facts. Oh well... those are usually the first to ignore the facts that get them killed as well... so I don't expect them to be a problem when SHTF.

MLK and nobama, both have/had a dream and neither dream has or will solved the problems we face and neither, IMO, is a hero or a saviour! And, IMO, both want others to give up rights so other can have theirs, but they don't want to compromise and they will never be satisfied, just like liberals, all take and no give. I know, it's not PC, but it seems to be true to me.

So, no, it's not a happy day, IMO, it's just another day.
