We do celebrate Fredrick Douglass Day. We just don't tell you about it. Don't want to spike your blood pressure. We celebrate lots of people and don't bother to tell you about it. Who the hell are you, anyway, that we should inform you of a black celebration?

LWNJ's are priceless. I am voicing an opinion. you don't like it, so you get all flustered. if you don't think these three are overrated, then that is your business. I do.

I feel like poking back. While he's pouring gasoline on our campfire, I'm p!$$ing on his leg.

Got it What time will you be blowing up the family pet?
Obama is a dolt, idiot, I can go on and on. Martin Luther King is a totally different story. Just listening to him give a speech can move mountains. Too bad he opened the path to Obama who had opportunities but blew it and didn't do a damn thing for Americans. There has to be better?

Wrong again R and yes it is debatable, just not with you, you have gotten all of the time from me on here that you deserve.

Well, considering that I can vote, eat wherever I want, live where I want, date who I want, and basically, I would have a better life today than I would have in 1963, I would say Dr. King did alot. Would you be willing to lead protests, get beaten over the head with a nightstick, nearly get stabbed, and basically put your life on the line so that everyone has the same rights? But I'm not surprised that you would attack Dr. King. It happened during the Dr. King holiday and it is happening now.
