What a pleasant notion, cutting the noise.

I think I'd prefer it if we had an MLK moratorium for White to Black quoting. It is - not like but IS - exactly like saying "I need to introduce you to my Black friend..." ...b/c...? I mean, it's not like words register differently when the speaker is Black. So, why him? To us, specifically?

And, no - it's not b/c he is a common start point either. MLK was very clear: the laws cannot change the hearts and minds of men. In fact, those are quite obviously his words. MLK is most prolifically cited for the "can't we all get along" principle. Which is funny b/c MLK said "yeah, no, that's not where this is going." So, if you can't quote me the other half of the principle I shared above, you really shouldn't invoke him either.

Lastly, and this always ROFLs me, if you think "we should all just try to get along" was his principle and you know the other half of the we killed him, not putting together the net effect then, I take it? Because we are. Goes something like this: MALCOLM X WAS RIGHT.

So, maybe no King. Not your best play here, I should think.
