If another “reverend†had been so abusive to women to have had participated in gang rapes, he would be cancelled. We’ve been brainwashed with the sanitized version of who this historical figure was. Great speech, though.
Yep, you heard that correctly. A U.S. Senator opposed making MLK Jr. Day a federal holiday because he was a "Communist." Maybe we should be calling him "Reverend Comrade Dr. King." 🤦â€Â♂︠The worst part is, these loonies are still around today.
Looking at the comments, I understand why it took so long.
why keep this racist accepted holiday on the calendar? Why have a black history month.We observe Washington's birthday but know one takes off work.I don't believe Mr. King was president.We observe Lincolns birth day who Nwas also president of the U.S.A. This is
It is and has been a national holiday. But could someone explain to Joe how bad it was to say George Floyd's death was more significant than MLK's death.
THIS IS NOT THE KKK REPUBLICONS COUNTRY. STOP STEALING THE ELECTION YOU CRIMINALS

Wypipo in power wanted a day off work so they made MLK birthday a holiday. End of story!
R.I.P MLK.
It's probably because of all the meddling in the affairs of others. Especially when our country is still divided.
National Womanizers day?

He had a dream let's keep that dream alive And make sure his death was not in vain.
Let’s talk about Afghanistan, let’s talk about the border, let’s talk about inflation, let’s talk about the price of gas, let’s talk About how you need a license to get a job. So then you need a license to vote.
Lincoln project look it up and will tell the truth and for the haters who follow the big lie and Trump organization guilty in all counts
R.I.P MLK.ðŸ˜â€
The Time is Always Right to do what is Right. – MLK
Amen well said Sir. RIP!
Election was stolen on 2020. This is what American wants. Same day voting. Paper ballots. Voter ID indicating that one is a US citizen before one can vote. I want my country back……. no ballot harvesting, no mail in votes, no water main breaks (lie), no last minute rule changing etc, etc. The reason Dems try to have voting without showing an ID card because their platform is not popular among American. That is why the dems want to change the voting laws because that is the only way they can steal the votes again.
However I am very very Optimistic about our countries’ future. We will make America great again!
Not a real National Holiday till FedEx & UPS are closed.ðŸ¤â€
No bue no kaa !this is expencesh contry who say that kaa bue?
Only good thing about it is having the day off work
Just in !
Joe biden announces
"there will be no MLK day" as his teachings are contrary to the precepts of "critical race theory"
MLK espoused the equality of all men judged only by the content of their hearts.
Where as democrats hold people should be judged by the colour of their skin
Which party resisted it?
Cant believe the government fought against this smdh how racist can these people be? There disgusting
If we have Thanksgiving Christmas new years presidents day memorial Day veterans day Heck even July 4 is a national holiday I think Martin Luther king junior day Should stay as a national holiday Permanently.
Cut the check, king said we going to Washington to get our check, damn a hypocrite @$$, holiday!
Why does the thumbnail make it look like she’s on a zoom call with MLK
if joe is staying after the audit im leaving the country and moving to mississippi where the room temperature is actually higher then the iq of the citizens of mississippi. in Celsius. i rather live with these people then live under socialism and sloppy joes
