#Blackcollegestudent #DorothyBell, 19, of #Birmingham, Ala., waits in a downtown Birmingham #lunchcounter for service that never came, #April4, #1963. She was arrested with 20 others in sit-in attempts. And #truthbetold, to quote #DrKing: “We #strugglin to be able to have the #money to be #ABLEtoBUY a #steak or a #hamburger once we get to the lunch counter we aim to #integrate” ~ #MartinLutherKingJR (who selflessly died for the cause and yet this quote is #sadlystilltrue). #civilrights #martinlutherking #reclaimmlkday #MLK #ReclaimMLK ...

If we are gong to reclaim Martin Luther King Jr. day, lets reclaim it through international solidarity. #kabataanunite16, the Filipino youth nationwide, stands in solidarity with the African American community of Central District in Seattle, WA to fight against gentrification and Uncle Ike's Dispensary that continue to disrupt and displace communities of color. We are connected by the struggle from a system that has set us up to be oppressed and fail in the land we were born and raised in. We will stay united to liberate each other and fight for the justice we all deserve. FIGHT FOR COMMUNITY NOT COMMODITY! UNITED WE STAND, THEN THEY WILL FALL. #RECLAIMMLKDay #InternationalSolidarity #FilipinosForBlackPower #OneStruggleOneFight #GentrificationIsColonization #StopGentrificationEVERYWHERE (at Uncle Ike's)

The only post you need to see to end your MLK weekend. Our young people unphased by the illogical hatred we face daily. We #ReclaimMLKday by continuing to march toward freedom for all black people, countries, bodies and cultural staples without the delusion of a post racial society, the harmful ideology of color blindness or the feigned effectiveness of respectability politics. Much love to this new generation of movers, shakers & dreamers. Marching forward with a smile in spite of how far we still have to go. #BlackLivesMatter ✊

As much as his is MLK's day, it also belongs to Sister Coretta as she stood in the trenches with him and without her push, there would be no KING holiday. May her spirit rest in peace along side his. #reclaimmlkday #CorettaScottKing #MartinLutherKing

THIS is real. what would you have done during the civil war? segregation? the holocaust? all the other countless senseless genocides throughout history? ask yourself.. what are you doing now? condemning those with a different viewpoint than you without doing any unbiased research? making the same kinds of friends you've always had, with the same skin tone, religious beliefs, political views, & background as you? watching the same channel whatever news you've always watched, with the same spin on the "news" that you've been getting your whole life? look around. look up, look down, look side to side. open your ears, eyes, & mouth. get to fucking WORK for the people of this planet & this planet itself. kill your racism & kill your complacency. #reclaimMLKday

MLK Day...
I would like to take this day to remind you of a few things.
I got queued blog posts.
There will be no overplayed "I Have a Dream" speeches.
Today, I will let other people speak on my behalf.
Some will be angry. Some will cuss you out for using MLK as a prop.
But I'm just the messenger... that approves of the messages.
Have a nice day.
