What previous posters said about King and being shot is true, like it or not.

I'm sure that King would be remembered as a great man today if he hadn't died, but I'm also equally sure there wouldn't be an MLK holiday.

Why?

Because he got a pass on the allegations against him by being murdered.

The same phenonemon is seen with JFK.


So it isn't racism to state it, its just an astute observation on human psychology.
