Happy MLK Day
How can you listen/read any of his speeches and not shed a tear? My eyes well-up everytime, because I know there’s much more work to be done. (Issues like Steering, Racial Profiling, Hip-Hop Police, The Prison System, Gangs, Bank loans, etc. I could go on for days…the matrix is no joke.) And I don’t expect it to be fixed within my lifetime. Hmph, I’m militant anyway. Celebrate this day, like you should celebrate everyday, in a peaceful, respectful manner with a heart full of love. Be mindful of where one comes from and where we all should be. In the meantime, I got something hot for those who wanna trip. Just lettin’ you know. Check out the links below.

MLK Week: I Had A Dream Once
MLK Week is a 7-day celebration in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Where ZS will drop some MLK-related material. The idea was inspired by Dat MF’s drop. I figure since this federal holiday gives no day off to the rest of us kunte’s who are not working fed jobs, I’d do my part to increase awareness and education of man who did so much for so many.
I hate the Blackout period. You know, that period that you can’t take accrued time off from November to January. About 45 days or so. And for those who love to hate, MLK Jr. Day is the same. It’s like the start of the season into Black History Month. It signifies the next 40 something days of hate. I feel your pain haters. Tolerate.

MLK Week: Will You Be At Work On MLK Jr. Day As Well?
The Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., often called Martin Luther King Day, is a United States holiday marking the birthdate of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., observed on the third Monday of January each year, around the time of King’s birthday, January 15. It is the only United States federal holiday commemorating an African American and one of only three to commemorate an individual person.
then…
In the United States, a Federal holiday is a holiday recognized by the United States Government. Non-essential federal government offices are closed. Banks are generally closed as well. All federal employees are paid for the holiday; those who are required to work on the holiday receive wages for that day in addition to holiday pay.
Yeah…but why do I still gotta goto work tomorrow for regular pay?
