THE UNKNOWN MARTIN LUTHER KINGS: MLK SR. & MLK III

Via STREET BONERS and TV CARNAGE サ

I imagine flying Martin Luther King, Jr. all over America today
would make him so pissed off from having to take his damn shoes and belt off for each damn flight, he'€™d finally just give up and decide to buy his own MacBook Air and some Wi-Fi so he can "relax and catch up with these times, Tyrone."€ Sadly, when we get to the Apple store, Dr. King breaks down into sobbing tears from exhaustion and frustration. What sets him off? People standing in blocks-long lines to buy iPhones as if it was food or the opportunity to vote. The last I hear from Martin Luther King is: "WE'RE SO DOOMED! WHAT DID I DO?! PUT ME BACK IN THAT DAMN FREEZER!" -- WHAT IF MLK SURVIVED?

Your Say

MLKjr was no Frederick Douglass. King would have "evolved" like any philandering hypocrite. It's all negotiable.

The saddest things: First, explaining to him that there are streets named after him all over America, mostly in neighborhoods so dangerous to people of all races that observing that fact has stopped being news and become a punchline...and second, that the punchline was popularized by a black comedian.
