Last week Martin Luther King Jr. Day was celebrated across the country by both Black and White people in separate locations.
Calls of "Happy MLK Day!" could be heard in coffee shops and workplaces, both Black and White.
Brad McAuliffe, an African American man from Eugene, Oregon, said, "Yeah, my friends and I had a blast. I suppose, however, that at some point in the future, America should try to celebrate MLK's legacy together. I think that's what he would've wanted. I would've invited White people over if I was friends with any, but White people are always wearing lame-ass clothes and stuff. …Well, my friend Andy celebrated with me, and he's a quarter Native American and dresses like an idiot. Does that count?"
Roberta Dowl, a Caucasian from Newport News, Virginia, stated, "Well, I was definitely happy it was Martin King Day. I was looking for a Black person to congratulate, but I couldn't find one near my house. I said hi to my mailman, and I think he's French. So I feel like that was in the spirit of MLK. I'm very glad Martin Leonard King wouldn't give up his seat on that bus. Those other passengers were A-holes! Right?"
