Not faulting any one thing or another about King. I'm just saying that making him into an icon also makes him into a parody of himself and the movement.

Maybe you don't watch Mad TV, but there is another generation who does, and they've had about all the MLK & Rosa Parks shoved down their throat that they can stand.

Shouldn't they at least be told that SNCC didn't have a single thing to do with violence, and MLK didn't have a single thing to do with direct action?

Time to move on into the present, and let them know who Michelle Wallace is, I think.
