Isn't it kindof ironic how on a black holiday no body goes to work?

Just do what I do, celebrate it as James Earl Ray day.

Maybe you forgot that it was people from other countries who built most of our railroads, harvested our crops, cleaned our houses and to this day clean our houses, do back-breaking physical labor that most lazy American's don't want to do, pick up our garbage, drive our buses and taxis, keep our lovely malls and schools sparkly clean, build houses they can't even afford to live in, install your cable television, fix your cars, pump your gas, etc.

Yeah, they don't fucking work at all. Get real.

I'm really dissapointed that this thread was even made, but I love how threatened white people are by a holiday that celebrates a brilliant civil rights activist whos BLACK. You'd think we'd be happy with owning every company in the fortune 500, the Presidency, the american standard of beauty, getting off easier on speeding tickets, getting better wages, getting better jobs, always having the door of opportunity opening for us based on the color of our skin, not being harassed by police as often, etc. Guess not.

Honestly, I'm getting really sick of how accepted racism is in the metal scene. I don't even care if it's a "joke", because it's not funny to a lot of people, myself included. *shakes head* I'm glad to see not everyone shares this guys opinion though.

Oh shit, did I just lose scene points for going against the norm??? *rolls eyes*
