Niece: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Would Not Wear A Hoodie

[You can call me V]

Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., rejected the now-viral image showing the late civil rights leader wearing a hoodie just like the one Travyon Martin wore the night of his death.

“Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would very likely not wear a hoodie,” she said. “I can assure you he would not wear sagging pants.”

Dr. King made this statement on the Andrea Tantaros Radio Show on Tuesday after being asked what she thought of the image entitled MLK Hoodie – April 4th, 1968.

I think that, with everything going on right now, we need to remember what the good doctor once said: "where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character". Unity promotes equality.

The day may come when we do not judge others by their skin colour, but the day will never come when we stop judging people by how they dress.

Comparing MLK or Till to Trayvon Martin is incredibly stupid

I disagree with the zimmerman trial outcome (not the murder part, but the manslaughter and the judge instructing the jury to not consider the vents leading to the confrontation and to take into account things the defense didn't use). But the hoody thing and the protests are just dumb and not how you get laws changed.

It's incredibly common in a city near me where there's a large Polish immigrant community. Women with dyed black hair, fake tan and tracksuits lol.

I remember saying "You've been Tango'd!" to a woman who obviously used fake tan, given the fact she was luminous orange. She punched me in the face lol.

Something about that image looks of, the face appears to be too small for both the body & the hoodie, and I'm not sure the shadows on the face are correct.

I smell photo-shop.

Or maybe I'm just pointing out the obvious here..

Why do Eastern Europeans love Adidas tracksuits so much? They're like chavs and Yankee hats.

But they were both black. It's like they're the same person!

Amirite?

Some of the results weren't that bad but I feel horrible for laughing at one of the photos in this video from my Facebook feed. Don't watch it if you're easily offended or have a soul. I should say that 90% of the photos were too extreme and edgy even for my crude tastes.

I get that a lot of...well black people wear hoodies but I have some to and I'm white. I just like them. Not a Black hoodie but a Blue one(CAUSE BLUE IS AWESOME). Then again someone did think I was stealing once when I went to a gas station. Never went back there again.
