Did a post get deleted?

I read something to which I intended to respond ~ especially because I was mentioned by name (fake-name) ~ thought it over, went to the bathroom, came back, and now it seems to be gone.

Anyway: let me clarify a couple of things:

1) I am a pacifist and consider non-violence to be of absolutely primary spiritual import. This certainly affects the light in which I consider the legacy of Dr. King, but I certainly understand that not everyone shares my viewpoit.

2) I don't mean to begrudge folks of African descent their celebration of their unique heritage on this holiday. (I certainly take every advantage of celebrating St. Patrick's Day, after all!) My problem with the misperception of Dr. King's feast day as a "blacks-only" celebration is that white Americans need to understand and to be included in commemorating the man and his mission of uniting two separate Americas into a unified whole. Well, eventually.
