TDS Time Machine | How Not to Celebrate MLK Day

That's right. Celebrating MLK Day with a sale is like commemorating Samuel L. Jackson Day by whispering. That's not what the man stands for. It's not like in the middle of his mountaintop speech, Dr. King just broke off, remember me with savings too insane to be believed. I might not get to that store with you, but my eyes have seen the power of the discount. Come on, Coretta, let's roll.

Oh, it's not just a white thing. In fact, Dr. King might actually be proud that on his special day, people of all colors and backgrounds have been up.

TDS Time Machine | How Not to Celebrate MLK Day

There will be no twerking here? Sound like Gandalf in a Tyler Perry movie. There will be no twerking here! And then, you know, the strippers fly all over the place. Also, how are you gonna Photoshop Dr. King with gold chains to try and make him look cool? He was already cool. Look at these real pictures of Dr. King from back in the day. Look at him playing pool in a suit.

In a civil right, fresh from a march. That shot's so cool, it doesn't matter if he misses. And here he is making the library look cool. Standing in front of books like they stacks of money. But this is my favorite Martin Luther King, wearing sunglasses inside. Trevor, he could have taken that call in private, but he left the door open for the haters.

But maybe, maybe the most popular activity on MLK Day is using his legacy to push your own agenda, and no one has done it in a more interesting fashion than this guy.

TDS Time Machine | How Not to Celebrate MLK Day

Okay, okay, hold up. I'm pretty sure on Dr. King's list of priorities, giving slaves guns comes way below not having slaves in the first place. The logic makes no sense. This makes no sense. How would you do that? Like, do you think the slave owners would have just had a little chit chat? Well, shit, we set them free. Oh, no, don't set them free. Let's make it interesting. Give them shotguns.

Now, I will say this. If slaves did have guns, the movie Roots would have only been 15 minutes long. Your name is Toby, or whatever you want us to call you. It's cool, wasn't it? Cool. OK.

TDS Time Machine | How Not to Celebrate MLK Day

Listen, man, it's simple. MLK was for racial equality, economic justice, and stood against the exploitation of the poor. And he did so because he knew that one day our great nation would rise above bigotry, injustice, and poverty. And on that day, my friends, there will be twerking for everyone, everywhere. Roy Wood Jr., everybody.

Polar bear invasion? I thought they were chill cartoons drinking Coca-Cola. Climate change is getting apocalyptic, but do you see me taking the bus or going vegan? After this burger, after this burger, I'm done with beef. After this... I know the world's ending, so why is it so hard to do anything about it? What the hell is wrong with me? I blame evolution. Meet author Dan Gardner.
