I have a dream today (34 Photos)

: In honor of Martin Luther King Day, theCHIVE will not be posting regularly today. We’ll be back tomorrow though, don’t worry. For now, I’d like to share with you this gallery as a tribute to the man responsible for this morning’s few extra hours of sleep.

Martin Luther King Jr. is often hailed as the greatest hero of the African-American community, but to call him that is to miss his message almost entirely. Although Dr. King’s name will appear in history books next to the rights he helped earn for African-Americans, his greatest gift to us was the brilliant, shining example he set for all men. Dr. King’s speeches call not just for equality for black people but for love and compassion from everyone for everyone, and they do so with language more beautiful than mere words have any right to be.

Dr. King was one of the most inspiring spiritual leaders in any history anywhere, and so I tried my best here to capture his message of peace, love, justice, and service in the hope that it will not soon be forgotten.

: Martin Luther King day is, officially, not a day off, but a day of service. To find opportunities to help your community, visit mlkday.gov

MLK would have been a fan of theChive since he had a liking for sexy white women.

In 2011 %83 of violent crimes in America were black on white crimes. %62 of white people attacked in 2011 were shot at by black people. %77 of people incarceration are black, 1 in 3 black men in America goto prison. Racism is alive and well but it's victim has changed color.

Care to give sources as to the stats or how these crimes are correlated to racism?

FUCK U

GOOGLE IT BITCH!!!

Miller0700

Why should I? It's not my job to make sure he knows exactly what he's talking about. He should be able to prove his own sayings true not me.

"It's not my job to attempt to educate myself. "

LOL.

Miller0700

LOL, it's my job to research people's work for them when they refuse to cite their own fucking sources. xD

Every other minority in this country or that has come to this country has prospered compared to the blacks. Italians, germans, irish, etc.. they were treated like shit as well. Black people ruin every place they breed. Look at Detroit, was once a great thriving city until the mondays took over.

I always enjoy such holidays, for the Chive never lets me down in the comment section.

I promised myself to not comment on this post. The reason is pretty simple, sometimes it’s better to shut your mouth and let the pics talk for you. But after reading the comments I came to the conclusion that good part of theChive community ( at least the commenting one) is formed by little horny boys who don’t give a single fuck about important matters like this one.
Sure, I am a lover of beautiful girls but the life doesn’t consist only of “MOARRRR, I WANNA SEE YOU NAKEDDDD, I WOULD LOVE TO PUT MY… SHARE YOUR ASS WITH ME” and shit like that.
Alec did a great job as he always does and I really hope to see more posts like this in the future.
Henley, nanard, ChiTownChiver, socalmarti and few others, unfortunately they can’t do nothing against a platoon of uncaring dbags. [oh, FLBP post.. now you can go to masterdebate ]
now downvote this like you did when I mentioned the liberty of thoughts and discussion LoL
#5 #28 for the message. Keep Calm and Care More.

Fuck you, Sir.

This is a great post. But just curious, did you guys fact check first? MLK is one of the most misquoted famous people on the internet. ~Mark Twain

Even today there are those we still have to fight equality for And still it is put off This economy needs to be recovered This war needs to be dealt with There will be time There are more important things right now What does any of it matter if the people are not free All of them

Would love to see black males start taking responsibility for the children they produce instead of leaving them with the mother and the welfare system.

Actually, Raegan signed today into law as a holiday so he's the one responsible. Also, MLK would not have wanted to people taking the day off for his sake.

This day is just a joke just like our president.

This day has been a big joke
