All people have come from a society that was used as slaves. Serfdom was a form of slavery and I know I am a descended from serfs. It's just that we're celebrating one of the most recent. And no one living in this country was ever a slave. When you go down south you see serious racism still exists. And that is why we need to keep things out there in front, to battle that. All I'm saying is that it would be nice if the racism no longer existed and we could let things go.
And as for the War Memorial, that's to honor those who died, not the cause of the war. Apples/oranges.

We honor Dr. King for his courage to stand up to the wrongs that were being committed against him and every other black person in this country. He stood up to people, the corrupt local governments, and the police who carried out the injustices. And he didn't do it by a violent uprising, he held true to the principle of forcing change via non-violent civil disobedience. He was remarkable.

For me it means continuing to work for the betterment of our communities and for humanity. He reminds me that we're the ones responsible for implementing social change. If you don't stand up for something that is wrong you are just contributing to the problem by allowing it to continue.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

I had a "Dr King" remove my tonsils when I was a kid. Don't know if the same doctor you're talking about.

Anyway, those of you who are applying King's teachings to a particular race are all doing it wrong. King just wanted all people of any race to be the same.
