MLK Day Celebrations will be a smack in my face

This year. His core was about Black Americans not facing taxation without representation - at every level.

The idea that the GOP from tiny villages up to Mitch McConnell is going to get a 'day off' for a photo op makes me sick.

I wish Biden would state 'unprecedented times' where we need all hands on deck so Fed Employees and Offices are to report to work/open since there is no legislation ensuring that black people will be able to vote this year.

MLK III agrees with me. Why celebrate anything - when we are poised to getting sent back to the 1950's?

I shouldn't have to fight for the right to vote - NO black Americans should.

At this point - the GOP is being culture vultures.
