MLK Day Monday Morning Open Thread

 

Hello and welcome to another Monday in the world, and also Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the States. 

Here's the man himself talking about apathy and hypocrisy, how legality of rights is not enough if it isn't reflected in reality, and how the problem is and always was systemic and economic - "freedom and famine at the same time." And how even without beatings and firehoses to get people all excited, there are still deep and lasting problems to address to gain true equality. A good counterpoint to any of the fools out there talking about how teh minorities can't ever be satisfied with what they're "given" by their imagined betters.


 Stop by and say a word or two about the state of the world, or just your world.
